Suggest cleaning up the system (clearing out all the Temp/Tmp folders, and
included all offline content, clearing the browser TIF, Delete Cookies , do a
Disk CleanUp.

Click the Start button . In the Search box, type Disk Cleanup, and then, in
the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.

OK - go here and DOWNLOAD the update manually to your desktop.
KB935280

Once downloaded - switch off ALL FIREWALL and ANTI VIRUS software.

Try to install

0x80242006 SUS_E_UH_INVALIDMETADATA The caller passed an update with
invalid metadata to the handler

I *think* that means a system file can not be found by Component Based
Servicing [CBS]. One can view the cbs.log in WINDOWS\logs\CBS
and, *hopefully*, find out which system file is the culprit.
Be aware that this log can be very large.

Start at the *bottom* of the cbs.log and do a Find for error.
When the log opens in Notepad scroll all the way down to the bottom,
click Edit, Find
Enter error in the Find what: line
Under Direction: put a tick mark next to Up
Click Find Next
Here's an error from a cbs.log that shows Windows Calendar as the file
'not found':

2007-09-05 03:16:55, Error CSI
00000148@2007/9/4:17:16:55.326 (F) CMIADAPTER: AI failed. HRESULT =
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)
Element:
[94]"<securityDescriptor xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"
name="WindowsCalendarTasksACL" />"
[gle=0x80004005]
2007-09-05 03:16:55, Error CSI
00000149@2007/9/4:17:16:55.326 (F) CMIADAPTER: Exiting with HRESULT code
= HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).
[gle=0x80004005]

The file was actually on the system BUT it's folder in Scheduled Tasks
had been deleted. The 'package' could not find that folder and the
installation would fail.

Post back with the section of the cbs.log that contains the xml entry,
as the section above does, Vicky:

Looked through the log folder as suggested and no errors listed. However
still getting this error message everytime i try and install update KB941649.
All other optional windows updates work fine.
