Are you getting the error while installing the update or after you've
installed it?

Is there a number for the rest of the world who have the same problem? The
update installs OK but when the restart is completed, the update history
states the update failed.

Please describe your symptoms more precisely (and perhaps start a new
thread if they are significantly different from the OP's, as vague as that
symptom description is.)

Are you doing the update manually? If so, be aware that the WU/AU log
will not change. Hence, a manual update would explain your symptoms.

I have had the same problem (still unresolved). I am using MS Update. The
problem first occurred during the automatic update, then was reproduced on
every manual attempt after that.

The patch is downloaded OK.
The patch is installed OK, and appears as "pending" in the installed updates
log.
Then a system shutdown/reboot is necessary to complete the installation
I do get the normal update messages during shutdown and startup
Then, in the new session I get the üpdate failed"message with the error code
800719E4, and the log file entry: Windows Servicing failed to complete the
process of changing update xxxx (did not note the exact module) from package
KB942615 into Staging(Staging) state.

I advised MS about a week ago, and got an initial reply requesting a cleanup
of the status and log files, which I did to no avail. After that: absolute
radio silence, despite several reminders.

So I hope a reader of this forum may come up with further suggestions

Sorry, further to my earlier reply. Till now I had tried to redo the update
using MS Update for the purpose, which, of course finds 1 update to install
(this one), does the download/update, then comes up with the same error at
the end. Just now I tried a dedicated manual update of the VISTA version of
KB942615 from a MS manual update site. That went OK, the patch is now well
and truly installed (and, I am happy to say, IE7 is still working). So I can
advise other readers to try the same.

One remaining question: over the past week, to avoid the update process to
retry and install the erroneous update every day I had "hidden" the original
update. After the successful manual update I "unhid" the original update, but
now it is scheduled for download once more (i.e. the update manager does not
seem to recognise from the outset that the update is installed already). I
want to avoid reinstalling it and thereby possibly breaking again what I just
fixed. Can anybody tell me if MS Update will duly recognise that the fix has
been installed already, before reinstalling it, thereby clearing the "hidden"
item, or if there is another way of clearing it manually. For the sake of
clarity I would like to "clean-out" my hidden updates list, because a year
down the road I my not have all the details at my fingertips any more.

Regards

1. Stop the Automatic Updates service:

Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Stop
(Stopping the service will take a moment)

2. Delete the contents of the Download folder:

Start > Run > (type in) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
Open the Download folder and delete its contents
Close the window.

3. Start the Automatic Updates service:

Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Start
(Starting the service will take a moment)

What proof do you have that it is fully installed? Did you check the versions
of *all* the modules it is supposed to install? Verify that the registry values
it wants to update were updated?

Is this something that was previously downloaded and is now being executed?
If not I would let it go because it means that there is still some aspect of the
update which has not been completed. If it was previously downloaded and
has just been sitting there waiting to install while you were doing a manual update
I suppose by using the Custom Install to decline it you might get the
effect of deleting the download, never to see it again but I haven't tested
that scenario myself. BTW I'm not even certain if declined installs are still
deleted. I just know that that was once the case. Again, you would have to
get a report from someone who has tried that more recently to have a better
idea of how that scenario works now.


Also, if you really want to know what the update is doing (or trying to do
but being prevented from doing, etc.) you could run ProcMon to capture
the file and registry accesses the update is making (including the writes
to its logs) and hence supplement its log messages by interleaving records
of those other accesses with records of when those writes were done.
Usually I find such diagnostics superior to even the verbose logging that
an update allows, which is only available when done manually.


Good luck
