Hello. Every time I go to the Windows Update site and I try to install the
Windows Genuine Advantage Tool I get an error that says:

Updates were unable to be successfully installed
The following updates were not installed:
Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892139)

How can I fix this so I can install the tool and get my updates? Please
help. Thanks

The Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) validation check process
does not complete when you try to validate your copy of Windows XP
or Windows 2000 Professional

I did all that on my XP SP2 machine and I still get the failure... Like the
original writer, I've tried the install at least 5 times to no avail. I ran
the malicious software removal tool today after getting the latest version
via the webpage, and it detected none of the "malice" in the list. I'm
running MS Anti-spyware, Norton IS 2005 updated 9/26, Firewalls, WinTask Pro
5 (absolutely marvelous tool for stopping many malware processes DEAD!)
Ad-aware SE 1.06 updated today is running and found a mere 88 problem files!
along with 12 registry keys. ZERO Processes identifed and ZERO Modules
identified with infections.

Can you assist with the install of the "Genuine" Tool, PLEASE?

MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE.
