Error details: Code 80072EFE

Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB936181)
This file has failed to install through automatic updates. I have tried
twice to update it manually.
Both attempts failed.I have Vista Premium

80072EFE ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED
Some network problem or the server/proxy reset the socket connection

A manual installation should not have either of the above issues.
To be clear, you manually downloaded the update and it failed to install
or you tried to manually install the update that was downloaded by
Automatic Updates [Windows Updates, in Vista] ?

Are there any other updates listed for XML 4.0 SP2 in Add/Remove
Programs in the Control Panel ?

Is the native Vista firewall being used or is there a 3rd party firewall
installed ?

I am also having the same problem i tried to do the update and i get an error
code for 800700B. I then downloaded the files to install manually and the
install fails.

See if this helps, Darren:

This worked on the two Vista machines that we have.

1) Create a folder on C:\ drive called 'WUAGENT'. Use this directory to
store the Windows Update Agent file (see next step).

2) Go to the link below, and download 'WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe' to the
C:\WUAGENT directory:

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe

3) Open the Command Prompt and forced a re-install of the Windows Update
Agent with the following command:

C:\WUAGENT\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce

4) Try to re-install the update

I am also having a similar problem. I sometimes leave microsoft running for
well over an hour and get the same code where no update whatsoever is listed.
I recently installed service pack 1 expecting the problem would be fixed yet
i still get the error.

Hello: I have tried with this solution, but it didn't work because my
command prompt doesn't allow to introduce some of the symbols that you
suggest, like "\". I can't download the actualizations. And it appears the
errors 8024401B or 800700B, alternatively. Sorry, but Spanish is mi native
language. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks. Ricardo
