KB977816 fails to apply to 2000 server

KB977816 fails to apply to 2000 server. After server reboots, update
reappears and asks to be installed. I have noted that tech support has asked
for the windowsupdate.log and the updateshandler.log in other incidents. The
windows update.log is below, however I did not find an updateshandler.log (or
anything close) on the server. I did find the KB977816.log and that also
follows.



The following errors are in the system log:

This has been reported many times in different newsgroups. The Update or any Update
for Windows 2000 will not install since the install file has been pulled.It still
shows but it is an empty file .You can see this yourself if you try and download
that file manually. It will not download. Windows 2000 and all updates for it in
essence is dead. Microsoft pulled it from their sites according to the agreement
between Sun and the DOJ

I just downloaded it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Apparently the update is still available. I'm having the same problem as OP
but mine is a Win2000 Pro machine.

What agreement?

Then you have the same issue and the same answer from me.

Microsoft lost the case which was brought against them by Sun Microsystems for using
their technology. The agreement was that MS will discontinue Support (which was done
at a very early stage ) and stop all aspects of Windows 2000 including updates. This
was completed at some point last year by MS. In essence Windows 2000 in all flavors
is dead as far as updating among others

That doesn't seem to make sense as this kb977816 is listed as a security
update by Microsoft yet see:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS10-026.mspx. It says its
related to codecs:
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in
Microsoft MPEG Layer-3 audio codecs. The vulnerability could allow remote
code execution if a user opened a specially crafted AVI file containing an
MPEG Layer-3 audio stream. If a user is logged on with administrative user
rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take
complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install
programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user
rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the
system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user
rights.

This security update is rated Critical for all supported editions of
Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 (except Itanium-based
editions), and Windows Server 2008 (except Itanium-based editions). For all
supported editions of Windows Vista, this security update is rated Important.
Itanium-based editions of Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, and
all supported editions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, are not
affected by the vulnerability. For more information, see the subsection,
Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.

The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way that
the Microsoft MPEG Layer-3 audio codecs decode the MPEG Layer-3 audio stream
in specially crafted AVI files. For more information about the vulnerability,
see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for the specific
vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability Information.

Try this:
Search for L3codeca.acm file in C:\WINNT folder. There should be one
L3codeca.acm file in the following location:

C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistribution\Download\<maybe some random numbers>\wm9

Copy the L3codeca.acm file to C:\WINNT\System32 folder. File size is about
301KB, with a date stamp of 1/21/2010.

I just did the above. Now Windows 2000 Pro stops telling me there's a new
update (KB977816) to install. I'm going to wait for several days to be sure
that this crap doesn't come back as needed.

Did you try opening a support case for this yet? (PA Bear's advice.)

Otherwise, I don't think there is enough information in these logs. FWIW
what I would do is run ProcMon to supplement whatever diagnostics you can
force the install to give you, e.g. add a /verbose switch (if there is one)
and do a manual install.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS10-026.mspx

There is one. Expand.
[-] Security Update Deployment
[-] Windows 2000 (all editions)
[-] Deployment Information

A small puzzle is why all these switches are so different from the ones
which are documented? ; )

-z would imply /norestart so why were you getting a reboot?

Clearly from the wrong end. ; ) Hint: if you do a manual install you
won't need to consider this log.

Tip: before you do the reboot check what it is going to do for you. E.g.
check the install log, the Event log (e.g. using Event Viewer) and the
registry value PendingFileRenameOperations. Check the versions of all of
the files implied by those diagnostics and confirm that they make sense.
After the reboot check again using the same information to confirm that the
update has completed.


Good luck

I think you're thinking of a different update.

What is odd is all the switches etc - were just from the sus client doing the
automatic update. We didn't tell it to do anything in particular. Just to do
the downloads and reboots at a certain time each week.
I have opened a support case but have not received much in response yet.
Will post when I do. The problem I run into is that these are vital servers,
so I need to schedule the work well in advance, So probably will be trying
something this coming week - judy not exactly sure what yet. Am hoping I will
get a response from support - if so I will post the relevant detail here.
thank you
