KB923694 Update unable to install

Update was downloaded but repeatedly fails the installation. Both Auto

or links to follow.

It's for "Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1".

Windows 2000
IE6 SP1 (and keeping that way for now, not IE7)

Nothing in the C:\Windows\KB923694.log?

I also have the same problem. Since 12/13/06 I have not been able to install
KB923694 or KB923689. I have also encountered other problems since this
update problem started. My system (windows XP SP/2) has started having
unscheduled reboots. I also have three other updates in my list with
"bogus" dates.....KB890830 dated Jan 01, 9903 ???? Also KB922582 same date
and KB920685 also same date ?

I'm open for ideas/

Which list are your talking about? Add/Remove Programs list? Microsoft
Update Web-site view history list?

Oh, there's a C:/WINNT/KB923694.log. Ta!

'Missing file oemiglib.dll', 'requires additional download', 'please install
again'.
This message is repeated throughout the log, which appears to accumulate a
new block of messages for each update attempt (msgs mostly incomprehensible
to me).

Since I have installed again (numerous times) and the same message presents,
I think there might be something wrong with the update, not correctly
stock-taking what it's got before deciding what it still has to download (or
doesn't need to download).

Is there a safe way to blow the partial update away and get it to download
again from scratch?

Check to see if you have a hidden folder
C:\Windows\$NTUninstallKB923694.log$.

First check Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show updates is checked) and see
if it shows there.
If so, Remove from there.

If not, check for folder the folder.

However, I checked the uninstall information that is to be done, I saw no
reference to oemiglib.dll.

I do have it on my system under C:\Program Files\Outlook Express, but it has
not been changed.

Version: 6.00.2900.2180

Have you performed a CHKDSK recently? Do ensure you drive is non-corrupted?
If update still fails, you will need to get that file from another system or
from the Windows XP Installation CD.

You need to look for oemiglib.dl_ and expand the file prior to installation.

Andmake sure you have the correct information. The title for this update
is:

Security Update for Windows XP (KB923694)

not

Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1
