Target File Size Mismatch during installation of KB916281

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to solve the following:-

I have been trying to install KB916281 on my parents PC. Thye have XP home
SP2 and is a new dell machine. When they running windows update,
automatically or manually they get an error sayign cannot copy the update.

I've attached the log to the bottom of the email, but it looks like the
chekcsum on the wininet.dll file is wrong. Not sure if this is the existing
one that is corrupt or the one that is being put there is wrong somehow.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix?

Thanks

Ian.

Ian,

Download the update from here and save it, do *not* run it from it's
location :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Close Internet Explorer. Now try to install it.
If it still fails, then post back with the last entry from the
KB9126281.log, please.

Thanks for the quick response, that was very helpfull.

I downloaded the update from the location you suggested and ran it. This
worked and the update ent through ok.

Unfortunately, after i tried this i went back into WU as i knew there was
one more update to install. When i ran this through windows update i got
exectly the same thing about the checksum (I can't attach the file as its too
big on the reply, but its exactly the same errors at the one on the main
posting although this time its for KB908531 and the file having problems with
is shell32.dll)

Do you think its worth doing the same with this update? And do you think
there is something corrupt with the update on their computer at the moment as
i suspect that they may have tried downloading this update in the past.

Any ideas? Obviously my parents wouldn't be able to download and install
patches manually as they aren't that good with computers and i really need to
get WU working for them again.

Many thanks for your help so far.

Ian.

Ian,

What is Automatic Updates set to ? Make sure that the following Services
are not Disabled by going to Start > Run and typing in

services.msc
Click OK
Scroll down to Automatic Updates. Double click it.
AU must be set to Automatic for Startup type.
Next, check on Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
BITS must at *least* be set to Manual for Startup type.
In can be set to Automatic but is not required.
Next, check on Cryptographic Services
Cryptographic Services must be set to Automatic for Startup type.
Next, check on Event Log.
Event Log must be set to Automatic for Startup type.


Next,suggest trying these 2 steps :

Show hidden files, folders, and system files :
http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

Go to Start > Run and type in

net stop wuauserv

Click OK
Navigate to WINDOWS\Software Distribution
Rename the Software Distribution folder to
Software Distribution.old

Go back to Start > Run and type in

cmd

Click OK
At the Command Prompt, type the following pressing Enter after each entry :

net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
net start cryptsvc

Now type in exit
Press Enter
Go back to Start > Run and type in

net start wuauserv

Click OK
Restart the system and revisit Windows Update to see if the updates will
install successfully now. When the Information bar pops up in Internet
Explorer and you are prompted to install an ActiveX object, allow the
installation.
If the installed antivirus | security program monitors the installation
of ActiveX objects or prevents scripts from running then either
temporarily disable these components prior to visiting Windows Update or
specifically allow the installation of the software controls from the
Windows Update web site.
This will depend on which antivirus program is installed.

Mow,

Fantastic, that worked after going through your routine.

All the services were ok, it must have been the 2nd part that sorted it out.

Thank you very much for your help, its much appreciated.

Ian.

Mow, do you have any other suggestions pertaining to this type of situation?
I'm running XP Pro, and none of the updates in the last MS Software
Distribution will install. I have had occasional problems in the past, but
this time seems to be different. Each of the update logs has lines very

I followed your suggestions re cryptsvc and wuauserv, but the updates still
will not install.

Not sure I understand everything I know about this . . . but believe
something that Microsoft did caused the Windows updates to install.

Yesterday during two non-consecutive reboots, the option to "install updates
and shut down" appeared. First, six of the updates installed, and then later,
the final three updates installed in the same way.

Haven't enountered this before.

Dial-A-Fix would have worked out nicely and quickly.
It has saved us tons of time troubleshooting Windows Update issues.

I think the cryptography update may work alone, but I usually check all
three of the following just in case...

FIX WINDOWS INSTALLER
FIX WINDOWS UPDATE (Also checks Programming Core Runtimes)
SSL/HTTPS/CRYPTOGRAPHY
