Hosting environment which only allows Windows security patches to be installed once a quarter. When accessing the Windows Update site, it is only showing 3 Critical security updates available: Windows 2003 Service Pack 2 IE 7 Windows Malicious Software Tool Removal [KB890830] On a single server, all but IE7 was installed, the server was rebooted, but the other critical security updates are still not showing up. Can anyone tell me why ?

I'm installing the service pack 2 and it says in the end of extrating files. /Failed! The language from update it's not the same that you have on your Windows XP!/ What should I Do? I don't know what's the language from my pc... Who should I know? Thanks, for helping me.

I've tried five times to intall this security update, both from "Automatic Updates", as well as from Microsoft's web site, but each time I receive an update failure notification. When I tried to update from microsoft.com, the Excel Viewer 2003 update showed as ZERO bytes, and taking ZERO minutes to install. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. tcm

When i click on check for updates, no updates are coming I wanted to install a MUI but they dont come in the update list

My install for this failed, and failed again on a second attempt, so for the third go I decided to disconnect from the internet and shutdown my firewall, anti spyware and antivirus. I then used the shield in the icon tray to start Microsoft Update and as the item was already downloaded, clicked install. And it did! Horay!!! May be I was lucky but it might be worth a try before any more complicated procedure.

I have vista HP. Automatic updates tells me I need update KB93680707. It has failed. When I go to updates it tells me I don't need any more updates. Error code is 80071A90..no record of this in support..HELP. -- darkvampire

When I attempt Windows Update, I get the above error number. I've discovered that's an "access denied" message. I tried running %windir%/windowsupdate.log but I get the message: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." I also downloaded Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool 1.7.0039.0, which provides info, but I can't see anything in the results that would lead me to the problem. I've tried the obvious (clear temp files) and the not-so-obvious (deleting files in my Windows\SoftwareDistribution\WebSetup and WuRedir directories), but no luck. Any ideas? I'm dead in the water with my updates.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936357 ? As it says on the above site, it maybe needed if u use one of these. . Mobile: Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processor. . Desktop: Intel Core 2 Duo desktop processor, Intel Core 2 Quad desktop processor, and Intel Core 2 Extreme processor. Server: Intel Xeon processors 3000, 3200, 5100, and 5300 series. I havent got any of these CPU's (This is a 2.4 HT CPU). Should I still install it?? It wont screw anything up, if I do will it? This update did come up when I went to the Windowsupdate site. Any info appreciated Thanx

I say forget about these updates until MS finds a fix. You can set up to ignore these updates at the windows update page or turn off all updates by going to the control panel and clicking on Automatic updates.

Every time I try to run Windows Update from the control Panel I get this error error found Code 80004002 Try Again? Please Help, I had this problem for about a month now and still no luck. There has to be a way apart from reinstalling Vista -- GAgira

Dear all, I use a screensaver that I wrote myself in .NET 1.1 whose job is to kill off unnecessary processes (ITunes' Ipodservice, Realplayer update, etc) that vendors in their infinite wisdom choose to make next to impossible to disable permanently. It has worked fine until today's updates, when the call Process.Kill is now throwing a 'permission denied' error. I see nothing explicit in the update release notes to suggest that anything's definitely been locked down in this area, though I can well imagine that it might have been. Can anyone help me confirm what's going on? Was there something in today's updates that would stop a screensaver having the abili…

Disabling Spysweeper was insufficient to get this update working. Refering to the \Windows\WindowsUpdate.log, there was a key that SYSTEM did not have permission to write to. In my case it was: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\xmlfile\ShellEx\IconHandler By changing the permissions for SYSTEM on the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\xmlfile\Shel from "this key" to "this key and subkeys" the install succeeded through Microsoft Update.

It's worked for 3 years, until today. Now, I get: "We've made improvements to our website. To download the new version of the software and begin using Windows Update, please click Install Now." What appears to be a small ActiveX component tries to install and I get the message: "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem." Two other computers in my local workgroup -- an old Windows 2000 server and a co-worker's Windows XP -- got the same message from Windows Update ("We've made improvements to our website.

I am frustrated. Just did an update, but I am unable to install 10 important windows updates. The error message is 80200010. I do not have Panda. How do I get these updates?

Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit MSI.dll version 4.0.6000.16386 dated 02/11/2006 10:46 size 2,095,616 bytes I manually run 'Windows Update', for Windows and other products from Microsoft update, at least once a week on a Wednesday, and at other times during the week. A number of times over the last few months, usually when there are a number of updates part way through the installation process i get a popup message stating 'Windows Modules Installer stopped working and was closed'. The installation process hangs at this point and i have to restart the computer. Running the update again finds the previous update which usually installs the second time arou…

Every Time when I click on the "Details ... " of an item to be updated, nothing happen, is that what it's suppose to be? Or I'm missing some software on my pc? Thanks.

I keep being told this update is available. I let it do its thing. Everything appears to go fine. Says the update is complete. The little install shield goes away. Less than 30 seconds later it comes back up with the same update. What gives?

KB 723923 downloaded successfully several days now but reappears as a required update.This happened a few months ago and stopped LOC from working ..I had toremove and reinstall LOC
