Error Code: 0x643 "Windows Search 4.0 for Windows XP (KB940157)"

I'm having the same prblem as Jesper.

On July 24th 2008:
Tried to update "Windows Search 4.0 for Windows XP (KB940157)" from
http://www.update.microsoft.com/ but it gives an install error of 0x643.
The question is how do I fix it.

De-install any "helper" programs (searchers for UNCFAT (think this was the
main one), .MSG files or favorites). Failure was because it could not
deinstall older version due to above. I disinstalled all manually, and
download 4.0 from the MS site. All installed well then....

I figured out how to install Windows Search 4.0 on my computer.

You have to have terminal services enabled in order to install.

Same problem here . . . KB940157, Windows Search for Desktop, is ONLY WinXP
update that i can't install successfully. Everything I've tried - even with
MS-Support - has failed. Numerous things, from Safe Mode to disabling all
Services has been tried . . . nothing works.

My "nerd-gut" tells me this problem might somehow be linked to WinXP
Desktop's insistence upon loading ALL of my picture files - literally
thousands of pictures - simply because I ONCE loaded a personal picture as
Wallpaper . . . and once used My Picture Show as a Screen Saver.

Yes, yes, I've tried returning my Desktop back to plain ole WinXP Bliss with
no screen saver. The Search Install still fails.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks.

I love User Forums.

Chaos5207 gave us all the answer right here . . . if I could read . . . duh.

TERMINAL SERVICES HAVE TO BE ENABLED.

Heck, the install failure error message KEPT TELLING ME THAT EXACT THING! I
just didn't know what it meant . . . until I looked here, in the User Forum.
Sometimes I marvel at my own stupidity . . . I'm really amazing.

For some reason my TERMINAL SERVICES were disabled. I returned them to
AUTOMATIC (in Administrative Tools is the easiest place). And the Windows
Search 4.0 for Desktop installed perfectly.

Thanks Chaos5207!

Did I mention that I love User Forums? d:-})

My terminal services was already checked and has been. so im having a
different problem.
its been about 3 weeks, and i try installing it every few days.
the error i get is: code 80073712
microsoft has 2 solotuions, run a scan in cmd. i did that and it still
doesnt install. the second solution would be to do a system restore, but i
really dont want to have to restore to a month ago
any other ideas?

Look at WINDOWS\KB940157.log:
if you have:

"Error modifying the Read-Only ACL on the following key(s):
INFO: HKLM\Software\Classes\Mapi"
or similar try to modify the permisions in registry of that key make it for
all permisive TotaLCONTROL AND READ ONLY PERMISIONS (SORY MY ENGLSH)

the key:
HKLM\Software\Classes\Mapi

Work for me when i try to install manualy from the download of the page
microsoft download center Windows Search 4.0

try look the permisions

Find and read other threads about that code?
Otherwise start your own thread about *your* symptoms
and don't confuse others' threads by piggybacking onto them. ; }

I second the motion any other ideas would be great have been failing on this
since it was released.
Windows Search 4.0 for Windows XP (KB940157)

Error Code: 0x643
Try to install the update again, or request help from one of the following
resources.

No luck, but is probably a mute point now with 7 on the fly.

then it is bye bye XP
