MP will not install.

I am running xp home sp2, every time I try to download anything from MS
Update the downloads download and then fail to install. What is wrong with
MS? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try this:

Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

Use its options to fix:
- Windows Installer
- Windows Update
- All the Registration Center options.

Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".

Then click "GO" and wait until it is done... Reboot may be needed.

- Download/Install Windows Update v3.
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237
(You may need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce" right
after an additional reboot - immediately after logging in.)

- Download/Install the 927891 patch.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...9-404327772E5A

- Reboot.

- Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan for/install updates.

- Come back and let us know how things went!

Error 0x8007F004 is:

STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_PRIVS
You do not have permission to update.

Pardon? Which Windows version are you talking about and *how* did
you "remove"/"prevent" the installation of WMP?

And what did you mean with "WMP is NOT installed"?
Are you logged in as a user with Admin rights?
What kind of "Security Software" is running in the background?

Und warumm verdammich nochmal fragst Du nicht in einer deutschsprachigen
Windows XP-Newsgroup nach?

Freudi
