ME - installation of component fail

When I click "Windows Update" on the start menu, it give me this message
"Installation of components fail. Try again or choose Windows Update under IE
Tools option".
When I choose the IE Tools option, the 'Windows Update' does not appear to
do anything, stuck at 0% for a long time.

Looking into c:\prog\ there is no 'WINDOWSUPDATE' folder. Can I just copy
this folder from W98SE? Please advice how can I resolve this issue, many
thanks

Found some leads. I follow kb319565 and found the Iuctl.dll and Iuengine.dll.
in C:\Windows\System (no figure 32) and delete. These are the only locations
and go to Windows Update as stated. But it seems to give the same result,
stuck at 0% for a long time. (256 mb ram and basically no application
installed)
I suppose if the files is at c:\windows\system and when i press 'delete' its
been deleted fr system folder.

pls help, thanks

That KB article number - which no longer exists - points to Visio article
(nothing to do with Windows Updates!)

Noel, my apology, art should read as 319585

On the SR, the pc was original infected and I did a scan.If I do a SR, would
the virus be back? Pls advice what should I do next as I have just tried
again, it seems nothing happening, always at 0%. Btw, there is also a box
that says

[[ "Installation on Demand(IE)" with the message 'TO DISPLAY THIS PAGE
CORRECTLY, YOU NEED TO DL and install the following components."

Loading ........ please wait]]
BUT there is nothing happening.

Appreciate your assistance, thanks.

Noel,
Did a search for wininit file/folder and the search gives a 'no' result.
Does thus give you a clue? Thanks

Ah - that makes rather more sense (not a lot, but at least it exists!<g>)

There are still a few problems with your original post....
"c:\prigs" should not exist (unless you specifically created it) - and is
NOT where the KB told you to look.
Please be precise in your posts, otherwise we'll end up looking everywhere,
when the problem is under our noses!.

Your Install on Demand problem looks as if it's trying to download an
ActiveX update - and failing.
Which version of IE are you using? - first, try a repair of IE
Reboot to Safe Mode
Go to Add/Remove Programs and try a repair of Internet Explorer from there.
Go to the entry for 'Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools'
in Add/Remove Programs
Click on Remove - and click on Repair on the window that pops up
Reboot on request to Normal Mode

If the above entry isn't there, you first need to uninstall all the patches
applied, then do the repair, then reapply the patches
The patches are listed in Add/Remove under the names 'Internet Explorer
Qxxxxxx'
highlight, click Remove - reboot if requested.
Repeat until the MSIE6SP1 entry appears - then repair as above.

HTH

I was reading from http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/1from2.htm and it seems
something that I can try. Obviously not solving my problem. So, it still
remains.What can I do next? Thanks

Noel,
I am really stuck here, tried many things like deleting temp files, active
controls, repair IE etc to no avail. Have been reading your response about SR
but I am lost in this jungle. Can you please let me know which article must I
zoom in. I went to the 'SR' and there are only 2 restore points 31st/dec and
today. Fyi, this is a relatively new installation and got infected because
there was no anti virus or system was not updated. So having learnt the
lesson and now trying to update, install AV later. Appreciate your time and
efforts, many thanks
