Failed updates on xp x64

Hi all, I just got xp x64 installed and went to update. There were 11
updates available, but after the installation process they all claim to have
failed and I can't locate a way to reinstall them. An hour of googling
'failed updates x64' and 'Error Code: 0x80070080' got me searching for a
windows update catalog for x64 but I haven't found anything helpful.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

The update catalog is the same for all versions of Windows:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp

You should be able to select the version of the OS you have here and see
updates for that version.

I found these 12 updates for the Windows XP x64 edition family..

- Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer for Windows XP x64
Edition (KB896727)
- Security Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB890046)
- Security Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB893756)
- Security Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB896358)
- Security Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB896422)
- Security Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB896428)
- Security Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB898458)
- Security Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB899587)
- Security Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB899588)
- Security Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB899591)
- Security Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB901214)
- Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB898715)

Hopefully those are what you are looking for. You can likely find the
downloads for each either from the catalog itself or by taking the
associated KB number from above and putting just the number part at the end
of the following line:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/

Which will give you the article associated with the update and likely lead
you to an area where you could download the appropriate update.

You might want to try the x64 specific newsgroup:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...&lang=en&cr=US
(listed in your newsreader as microsoft.public.windows.64bit.general.)

According to this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/windowsxpprox64

This is a good place to go for help:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/e...ities/x64.mspx

Hope that helps! Enjoy the x64 edition.

Thank you! It turns out that I hadn't checked the 'show updates' box in the
add/remove programs window. Doing so showed the updates in question as being
installed succesfully, so evidently the update process works but the update
software will report failure regardless.

Thanks again for your help!

Yeah - - that's weird.. Says it fails but works - worrisome to say the
least.
