KB944338 will not install

Hi Folks,

I have tried repeatedly to install KB944338 on my PC without success. I got
an error code 0x8007F0F4, which means nothing to me. I've never had problems
installing Windows Updates in the past. Does anyone know why I might be
having problems?

Thanks.

JPC

I got the same error here with xp 64 w/ sp2.

if you are having problems with the monthly updates,, for KB944338,,,

the workaround is that the Jscript is not current version,,,, it is
expecting 5.7,,,

so,,, go to download the current version of JScript 5.7,,,, this will
resolve issues,,

see other posting for info,,,,

Can you please verify what version of IE you are running and could it
possibly be a beta release of IE?

to : issy_cooper, and others,,,,, having this problem, with MSupdate, and
module KB944388,,,,

MSupdate is expecting JScript 5.7 which has been available since
8/24/2007,,,
the download is at the download site,, this is what IE7 is expecting,,,

Thanks for replying Cj,,,,+. IE7 shipped with jscript 5.7, from my
understanding. Are you sure you have the RTM version of IE7 installed? Just
wondering...

I don't understand! If Windows Update is expecting JScript 5.7, why doesn't
it tell me in the list of 'optional' updates? And why does Windows Update
specifically require JScript 5.7 for KB944338? It doesn't make sense to me.
Where can I download JScript 5.7 from if indeed that is the solution?

I am running IE version 7.0.5730.11IS. It is not a Beta release.

I don't know what is meant by the RTM version. Please advise.

[Crossposted to IE General]

It appears to be an issue with the update detection logic. Installing IE7
should have also installed Vbscript.dll and Jscript.dll v5.7 which don't
qualify for KB944338.

1. Please attach a copy of %windir%\windowsupdate.log <=this file to an
email and send it to ; give the email the subject
"KB944388 will not install". Await a reply from Eric with further
instructions.

Meanwhile, here are two possible workarounds:

2a. Download/install Windows Script engine v5.7 for WinXP SP2:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...6-524e7e844d81

2b. You may have a horked (dirty; bad; flawed) install of IE7. I suggest
that you...

* Uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6) EXACTLY per
http://www.ie-vista.com/kbase2.html [Only use the Command
%windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe if you cannot uninstall via Add/Remove
Programs!]

* Uninstall all toolbars and third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds).

* Disable all Norton Add-ons, if applicable.

* Reinstall IE7 EXACTLY per
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install <= Steps #1-8, #10 &
#11; take note of #12, then STOP!

NB: Use http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.

* IMMEDIATELY go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any
critical updates offered. If a "Root Certificates" update is listed in the
Optional category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of
IE7's additional security.
