I am finding this very exasperating and hope someone can give me the correct

fix, as nothing on MS's site helps at all.

 

1.I get a notification that there are updates

2.Vista (HP) download the 5 updates and installs them

3.Vista Requests I restart the computer

4.Upon restart I get a message that the install failed

5.Updates redownloads and goes through the whole process again

 

I have followed all the steps in the MS Help Files (stopping the service,

deleting all the files in the updates folder, starting the service, etc.

etc. etc. Nothing is working. I am pasting one of the errors from the 5

updates below:

0x80070002 = The System cannot find the file specified

 

Which antivirus software is installed ? Perhaps it's corrupting/blocking

the downloads of the updates OR, there's a router issue if the system is

on a home network, OR, there's a 3rd party firewall installed.

 

Suggest you try a manual download with the AV temporarily

Paused/Disabled from any monitoring of the system.

 

Create a folder on the root drive [usualy C:\ ] and name it

935807.

Download KB935807 and SAVE it :

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=e9b64746-6afa-4a30-833d-e058e000c821&displaylang=en

 

Close the browser and any other open programs.

Now open a Command Prompt with Elevated Privileges by going to

Start, type cmd in the Start Search box, and then *right-click* cmd in

the Programs list.

Click 'Run as administrator', and then click Continue.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation,

type the password, or click Allow.

 

At the Command Prompt, either type this in exactly as written or

copy&paste it:

 

wusa.exe C:\935807\Windows6.0-KB935807-x86.msu /quiet /norestart

 

Press Enter

The update *should* install now

If the Command Prompt window does not close, then type in

 

exit

Press Enter

Restart the system if prompted to

Did that get KB935807 installed ?
