Win Update error

Howdy all -
I've not been able to install this update (listed below) for several months
now. I've tried all the validatation things, etc - still no success. Has
anyone else had this problem? What can be done about it? Is there a way to
fix this? My PC keeps telling me to install this, as it's "important".
Thanks.
David

Windows version? Any error messages?

Here's one possibility:

When you try to install an update for the .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, or 2.0,
you may receive Windows Update error code "0x643" or Windows Installer error
code "1603":

Hi. I've been receiving the same error message, which I realize is a generic
error code for updating issues, but I'm unable to install the Windows Destop
Search 3.01 for XP update. Any ideas how to resolve this problem. And do I
even really need this update?

NO. Do not install it. It's not needed and it has caused issues. Just
search this newsgroup <w>

Thanks for the heads up! I was able to fix my update issue before I received
your response. But I quickly began to realize what a resource waster this
WDS was and after reading through some of the forum responses you directed me
to check out, I quickly moved to uninstall this unnecessary piece of CPU
draining rubbish from my system. Thanks!
Take care!
