Windows XP update (KB910437) and IE Update (KB905915) install fail

Hello All,

I ran Microsoft Update this monrnig on my XP Pro box and these updates
failed Update for Windows XP (KB910437)
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer for Windows XP (KB905915)

I was running no other apps.

The Self Help options returned: Sorry no help available.

thoughts?

 

Hello also,

I ram the same updates for XP Pro and getting the same thing.

looks like microsoft update has a problem??

 

After I installed these updates IE was unusable. I had to do a system
restore to get things working again. Here's what happened . . .

When I opened IE, it started to spawn multiple windows - at one time over
100!!! - and none of them worked, Obviously that locked everything up and
there were at lot of hard shutdowns. I was unable to connect to the internet
(dialup) to send the error messages during this ordeal.

These are the error messages (more or less):

Quote:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have
appropriate permissions to access this item.

Quote:
An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist.

Same thing whether I tried to open files locally, through local host (on
XAMPP) or on the internet.

Has anyone else had this problem?

 

Hm, have a look into the WindowsUpdate.log file to be found in the
Windows directory and post the last ~30 Lines. If you can find a
KB910437.log and/or KB905915.log file in the same directory, post
their contents here too.

You've SP2 for Windows XP installed, correct?

Bye,
Freudi

 

The Windows directory means Windows folder. Open Windows Explorer
and navigate to the "Windows" folder. There you'll find the LOG
file to look into.

Freudi

 

Windows update fails on installing
KB910437.log KB905915.log

This bug seems to occur if you have changed the default location of the
"program files" folder.
Registry path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Key name: ProgramFilesDir

Just temporarily change the key data of ProgramFilesDir back to
"C:\Program Files" (on an us/english system), and install the update.

// Andreas

 

The LOG files aren't installed ;-)

That's not a bug but intended for KB905915 like it has been for
KB896688.

See the articles/thread I've linked too ;-)

Bye,
Freudi

 

I am experiencing the same problem. I checked my
registry for the above and ProgramFilesDir was set to: C:\Program Files

I am including the last few lines of each of the log files
if that will help anyone with this. I'd welcome any help!

Yep...this fixed the problem for me...thanks for the post.

I appreciate this being intended by MS...but it would be a realatively
simple thing to have let us know ahead of time rather than wasting a
tremendous amount of our combined time. I searched the security bulletin
(MS05-054) and there is no mention of this there.

 

....

I suspect a permissions problem of some kind, e.g. either in the file system
or in the registry. Unfortunately there is not enough detail here and I have
no insight into the implementation to be able to infer anything more specifically.
Therefore, unless resorting to a /verbose install yields better clues
I would use RegMon and FileMon concurrently to try to track down
which specific file or directory needs to have its attributes changed
or which registry key is causing a similar problem (or which other account
you might be able to use without changing any of those things.) Etc.
For more information about this technique search my posts with
keyword: Milleseconds

The two first lines in my letter were not supposed to be read as a
sentence. The log-file names should not be there at all (my reminders).
Having installed and the Windows Updated reported success, I restarted
my system, and the same old update 905915 was available again...! :-(
At least on my machine, my trick with the registry only made the
difference from Windows update reporting error to Windows Update
reporting success when it's not.

Could you please recapitulate the links that help?

Thanks, Andreas

Then you have a different problem. Note that installation failures "may"
occur for different reasons.

Which AntiVirus software are you using?
Did you try to install the patches while the AV software has been
*completly* disabled?

Any chance it's working under a additionaly created Windows account
with administrator user rights?

I Have Windows XP Professional And Can Not Get Windows To Shut Down Without
Pressing And Holding In The Off Button On My Tower And Windows Up-date Will
Not Open. Also No Audio!

 

I find on update history that I have now "successfully" updated with Windows
XP update (KB910437) a total of 13 times. No failures are recorded. I am now
being prompted to install it again! Here is my Log file, don't print it, the
forests need saving. My logfile is too long. I shall delete it and try one
more "Sucessful" install and post that resultant log.
