Windows updates do not install

I have Windows XP Professional, Build 2600.xpsp.050329-1536 (Service
Pack 2).

I get notification of windows update and apparently download them
successfully.

I then say install them. This always fails and gives me the notice
that all the updates have failed to install.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Method 1:
You may wanna try downloading Windows Update Agent 3.0 manually,
save it to a folder and run the EXE with parameter "/wuforce"
(without the quotes) afterwards:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe

Start -> Run ->
"[Complete Path to EXE]\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" /wuforce [Hit Enter key]

Method 2:

If both fail, please provide the error code to be found in the
"Windowsupdate.log" file in your Windows folder.

I Had success with this numerous times in last 2-3 weeks. s

I re-registered the Windows update dll as suggested by the following
post from http://forums.vnunet.com/message.jspa?messageID=870658

Try re-registering the windows update components. This may help fix a
corrupt installer


1. Click on Start and Run,
2. Type "REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL" (without quotation marks) and press
Enter.
3. Should get the message "DllRegisterServer in WUAPI.DLL succeeded"
Click OK.
4. Repeat above for each of the following:

REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL
REGSVR32 ATL.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL
REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL
REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL

5. Reboot

Now try to install your updates. Luck, s

Dear All,

I followed a lot of the suggestions here. Nothing seemed to work, and
then, suddenly, the downloads did work. I am not sure what did the
trick, however.

In any case, thanks very much to all!
