"8007F0F4 - STATUS_PREREQUISITE_FAILED"

This issue is being looked into by MS. You may not have the Encoder 9
installed (hence the error code) or it may have been removed or you have an
old version. You are being offered the update because of a particular
registry entry which may have been left over from a previous
installation/removal etc.

Hopefully there will be a resolution soon.

Hi Alias,

It appears as though for WinXP X86 "2003", for Win XP X64 "2006"
See:
http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWS/WIN...R/DEFAULT.MSPX

I've been unable to find anything more recent.

The detection logic checks this subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media\Encoder

If 'Encoder' exists, the update is offered whether Media Encoder 9 is
installed or had been installed and subsequently uninstalled.

If Windows Media Encoder 9 is *not* listed in Add/Remove Programs in the
Control Panel, then one can install it from the MS Download Center and
then apply the update or, edit the reg subkey by deleting 'Encoder'.
That *should* stop the reoffering of KB954156.

so do I on like 20 computers running xp sp3
only one it installed because it had the Encoder 9 in add/remove programs
the others did not have it

Maybe MS needs to pull it and fix it and not let it show for those who do
not have the Encoder 9 installed?
