Hi

I keep trying to upload this update but it repeatedly fails with this error
code. Has anyone got any ideas how to solve this, or alternatively, do you
have a view as to whether is really matters and make it vanish if not?

thanks
Gavin.

Please always state what OS you're using as it does make a difference -

Try a manual installation of the update - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938194

You can check which updates are installed on your computer by -
Start button || Control Panel || Programs
Under Programs and Features - click View installed updates.

If it doesn't work try renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder (Vista) -
1. Stop the Windows Update service (make sure you are logged on as an Administrator)

Start button || Control Panel ||System and Maintenance ||Administrative Tools
Double-click Services
(Provide the Administrator password or confirmation if prompted to do so.)
Right-click the Windows Update service and click Stop.

2. Click Start, type %windir% in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

Locate and rename the SoftwareDistribution folder.

3. Start the Windows Update service

Start button || Control Panel ||System and Maintenance ||Administrative Tools
Double-click Services
(Provide the Administrator password or confirmation if prompted to do so.)
Right-click the Windows Update service and click Start.

This procedure will erase your history on the Windows Update Site. Not important.
