installation of KB905866 failed, error 800B0100

Hi!

Windows update kept prompting me to install update KB905866 [April
2008], but always failed and it shows error 800B0100.

My laptop is running Windows Vista Home Premium.

Hope someone is able to help out. Thanks!

I've downloaded and install the System Update Readiness Tool and ran
auto update to install KB905866, but it still failed.
Is it a must to install it manually? i couldn't contact Microsoft Help
and Support through email, it says "An unknown application error
occurred. Please try again in a few minutes."

Did you try again in a few minutes? Is Individual Chat Support one of your
options?

Are you able to download/install KB905866 manually using the appropriate
link in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905866?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)?

case if anything happens. If it is safe to install, then i'll go ahea
with it

I have Mcafee running, ad-aware 2007 and spybot S&D's teatimer running
I wanted to install a firewall program but haven't done so

Are you having any other problems using Internet Explorer?

I would not recommend installing Vista SP1 until and unless it's offered by
Windows Update!

> I have Mcafee running, ad-aware 2007 and spybot S&D's teatimer running.
> I wanted to install a firewall program but haven't done so.

=> What McAfee application is installed (e.g., McAfee VirusScan; McAfee
Internet Security; McAfee Security Center)? Is your subscription current?
When did you install it? Did you upgrade to this McAfee application from an
earlier McAfee application?

=> I will assume that the Windows Firewall is enabled. If it's not, please
try to enable it and tell me if you were successful.


1. Uninstall Ad-Aware 2007 via Add/Remove Programs (at least for the time
being), please.

2. Disable Spybot Tea Timer and leave it disabled for now; see instruction
here: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=32409

3. Reboot.

4. If installing KB905866 via Windows Update continues to fail with the
0x800B0100 error, temporarily disable McAfee VirusScan and try again. If
still no joy, see if you can download/install it manually:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...5-0C6F3D3C2D69
(Save the download to your desktop, then double-click on it to install)

5. Leaving the McAfee application temporarily disabled, does Windows Update
offer you any other updates now?

Caution: Do not do anything else online while McAfee VirusScan is disabled!

I currently don't face any problems using internet explorer, I hardl
use it as I am using Firefox. I used IE to send the email to Microsof
but didn't work

I live in Malaysia

I have McAfee Security Center, and the subscription is current. It cam
installed in my laptop, so i think there is no upgrade done in thi
mcafee application

I thought it's advisable not to run 2 firewalls on one laptop, so m
Windows Firewall is turned off because there's one running on Mcafee

Should I follow the steps you mentioned in the post above? I'm totall
bad at computer stuff. =

You are correct: You should not have more than one (1) firewall enabled.
However, the McAfee firewall may be causing some of your problems. For the
time being (i.e., as a test), disable the McAfee firewall *and then* enable
the Windows Firewall; leave it this way for now.

Yes, please do Steps #1 through #5 in my previous reply now.

For the

I've disabled the Mcafee firewall and use Windows Firewall, but update
still failed.

After uninstalling ad-aware and disabled tea-timer, it still failed to
update. I disabled Mcafee, still failed. I tried to manually install it,
it shows "Some updates were not installed. The following updates were
not installed: Update for Windows (KB905866)"

It still offers the update KB908566, and Microsoft Silverlight, which
is optional and i didn't download/install.

If you cannot download/install KB905866 manually via
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...5-0C6F3D3C2D69,
you'd be best off using the free Support options I've referenced in my
earlier replies. Use another machine to communicate with Support, if
necessary.

I have nothing more to add or suggest here. Good luck.

PS: VistaHeads forum software is converting my posted links to tinyURL
links. Avoid this by accessing this newsgroup via the web-interface
instead:
