Install Fails

Hello All,

I could do with some help. I recenty noticed that my update were not
working, so i looked up the site and followed some suggestions about
rregistering some Dll files. I logged back in and the updater d/l all the
updates listed below

Security Update for Windows XP (KB921883)
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - August 2006 (KB890830)
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer for Windows XP (KB918899)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB917422)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB920670)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB920683)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB921398)
Security Update for Windows XP (KB922616)
Security Update for Outlook Express for Windows XP (KB920214)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB917283)
Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474)
Update for InfoPath 2003 (KB920103)
Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB920907)

They download fine, but when it comes to install it takes a whjile then
comes back unable to install. No error codes nothing, i checked my history
and there is nothing in there with a red cross. Any ideas?

Try what I did this month - I burnt each update directly from its own site
after searching for the KB number, onto disk, but one at a time.
Then installed one at a time and rebooted.
I did not use WU at all.
In the long run I think this was quicker than getting the hang-ups etc that
others were experiencing.
Good luck
Dont take too long - the next Black Tuesday will be upon us :-) :-)

You do not have to crete a CD if they have already been downloaded (even if
they failed on installation).
All downloads are kept in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download.

Each update is in it's own folder (a unique long number), with a sub folder
called update. In that folder is an update.exe. Just run update.exe.

As far as the failed installs, did you check the Event Viewer log, and/or
the KB*.log file in the C:\Windows folder.

The KB*.log file contains information on the installation, including the
error code of why it failed.
