<title>How to read the Windowsupdate.log file</title>
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902093


Then as well as the WindowsUpdate.log you may be able to find
other logs specific to the individual update attempts.
Unfortunately the WindowsUpdate.log will not refer to them all.
You will have to do a search for all files modified during the update attempt,
sort them by Date Modified (which in fact sorts them by _Time_ Modified)
and then scroll to the set of files which were changed when the update
attempts were made. Regardless of their name or filetype you should be
able to drag each one that seems interesting (e.g. looks as if it could be
a supplementary diagnostic) to a Notepad window for further analysis.


Good luck

Robert

Did you recently install WinXP Service Pack 2?

I have used a programme that fixes Update and MS Installer problems. Now all
my updates have been installed sucessfully. You can download it for free at
http://djlizard.net/software/Dial-a-fix-v0.60.0.24.zip

It was recommended to me by MS updates support desk.

Not sure if you got this figured out yet, but I've had 2 or 3 computers in
the last week that would 'fail' on a large batch of updates (77 or so). This
fixed the problem (from an MS article, but don't remember the article
number)...

run from cmd prompt

regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wups2.dll
regsvr32 wuweb.dll

then try again...
