Secuity Update KB832483

This update keeps coming back with the icon in the System Tray. The downoad
in " Custom Update" is 0kb (I assume the file is on my PC) but it does not
install however I have no less than 11 "successful" (green ticks) in my
History. Has anybody any idea how to sort this out. Meanwhile my updates have
been turned off. Windows 2000 Pro. Thanks.

Let's try this ... show hidden files, folders, and system files:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...2.html#win2000

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to WINNT\SoftwareDistribution
Open the Download folder and delete *all* contents
Now open the EventCache folder and do the same
Close Windows Explorer

Download Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components 2.5
Service Pack 3 (KB927779) from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Save it, do NOT run it. When the download is complete, close the browser
and any other open programs/apps
Now run MDAC253-KB927779-x86-ENU.exe

If the update still fails to install properly, open the KB927779.log
located in WINNT.
Copy&paste it into your reply, please.

Thanks, will do as you suggest and get back to you within 24 hours. If you
are there, one question. I am on SP4. You mention a download of SP3
(KB927779) ?

Okay, all done but no success. I installed the exe after the download and it
reported install successful. I then tried the Update file (still 0kb) and it
failed to install. Did a reboot and tried again. It installed successfully
(?) but I still have the Update icon in the system tray. The history now
shows 12 "successful" installs of KB832483. I do not have a log file called
KB927779.log but I do have a "reporting events.log" in the
"SoftwareDistribution" folder. It is a big log with a lot of text. Are you
sure this is what you require. Thanks for taking all this trouble. As a
matter of interest, where is the file that it has downloaded for KB832483 ?
Would it be worth deleting it ? Meanwhile, I am turning autoupdate off.

This has no relation to Win 2K SP4. It has to do with the SP level of MDAC.
KB92779 replaces KB832483. So, if it installed properly, then there's no
need for KB832483. There should be a KB927779.log located in the WINNT
folder. The update will show in the registry as -

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Data Access\MDAC25\SP3\KB927779\Filelist

To see if the files for KB927779 are of the correct Version, go here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS07-009.mspx

Click the plus sign next to Security Update Information under 'General
Information'
Now click the plus sign next to
' Microsoft Data Access Components when installed on Windows 2000 (all
versions) '
Scroll down to 'File Information'
Check the files listed for Microsoft Data Access Components 2.5 Service
Pack 3 and compare them against the files on the system using the steps
laid out under 'Verifying that the Update Has Been Applied'

To stop the reoffering of KB832483, please do this ... open the services
console ...
Start > Run > type in

services.msc
Click OK or press Enter
Double click on Automatic Updates
Click the Stop button
Navigate to the WINNT\SoftwareDistribution folder
Open the Download folder and delete *all contents* of it
Do the same for the EventCache folder
Close the window and empty the Recycle Bin

Go back to the services console and reenable Automatic Updates by
clicking the Start button
Make sure it's still set to Automatic under 'Startup type'

Initiate a manual visit to Windows Update and see if KB832483 is
reoffered, please.

MowGreen thanks. I have found the log under a different name. It is the
complete file name log. I will check the registry references you have
provided and the file list link. If there are problems will get back to you.
Will respond anyway.

MowGreen. I have followed the instruction in respect to offering up the
update again (service.msc etc). Yes it did I am afraid but this time it was a
2MB file. I have not installed. I will now move on to the second part of your
message, checking that the correct files are installed with the MBSA Setup
software. Will get back to you, probably tomorrow. Many thanks.
