KB905474 failing.... again?

Hello it seems that the problem that plagued me back in March 2nd is now back
Validation tool KB905474 fails to install just like KB892130 did, back then
someone from Microsoft send me an email on how to fix this problem. Since
then I have installed Kb886903, Kb890830,
Kb911567,Kb908531,Kb12812,Kb11562,Kb911565,Kb90048 5,Kb913580.
To show you that my copy of Windows is indeed genuine...
I have tried the sites that diagnose, and validate my system, they both say
that they have worked, but when I go to install the validation tool again, it
fails...
Could someone from Microsoft please contact me again and send me the file
that collects the information, as they had done in March.
Thank you.

A potential fix has been posted previously in this newsgroup. Here it is
again:

A problem with registry key permissions may cause the installation of
KB905474 to fail.

These permissions can be repaired using Registry Editor as follows:

1. Click Start, and then click Run
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK
3. Expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
4. Locate the subkey HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LegitCheckControl.LegitCheck
5. Right-click the subkey and select Permissions..
6. Ensure that groupname Administrators allowed Full Control
permission
7. Ensure that username SYSTEM allowed Full Control permission
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for the subkey
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LegitCheckControl.LegitCheck.1

If that does not fix your problem, please post the contents of your file

C:\WINDOWS\WgaNotify.log

in a follow-up in this thread

Robin,

Thank you for this information. Doing this along with the info about
using the update.exe in Yukang's post on 4/30 fixed it.

I do wish that Microsoft would not issue defective updates which force
users to compensate by digging under the covers of Windows. I had
planned to learn something about the registry and had purchased a book
to do so. A cram session with the book gave me enough confidence to go
in and change the registry permissions. Without that I would sitting
here with an incomplete install.

I have suffered from this problem since March and am pleased to say that the
registry PERMISSIONS fix has solved the problem. I have now successfully
installed KB905474.

Many Many THANKS!!
