Automatic updates being continuously re-offered for install


Recommended Posts

I have recently had to re-install (update only not clean install) my

Windows XP SP2 PC. I have turned on Automatic updates and got offered

79 critical updates.

 

I followed the process and let XP install all of the updates. Quite a

few of the updates (about 20) were reported as not install. After

reboot and the completion of the update install for those that

reported as installing OK I again selected the remaining updates.

 

The process repeated with most but not all of the remaining ones being

installed. I again rebooted and repeated the procedure for the

remainder. However at the end of the last lot Windows Update proposes

all of the updates for installation again.

 

I went to the MS update site and had it scan and propose what needed

to be updated. This also suggested a very large list (I assume the

same 79 as originally). I let it install/attempt from there but that

has not helped.

 

I am now getting offered all 79 updates again.

 

Can anyone suggest how I can fix this. I know I could just tell Live

Update to ignore these but I am not sure if they have actually

installed correctly or not.

 

Cheers

TonyS.

Hi Tony

I have that problem with one update only and the MS crew is working on a

solution but as yet they haven't found it. In my case it is only 1 update

and a lot of people had this same problem. I don't know if it is the same

problem you are having though. Just figured I'd give you some type of

answer.

Thanks Bill,

 

Good luck with the "M Screw" <g>.

 

Let me know if they come up with anything.

 

I found a reference to a similar problem that referred to using a

Microsoft "Windows Installer CleanUp utility". It suggested

uninstalling .Net Framework (of which I have versions 1, 2, & 3 plus

several updates and patches) then running the utility to remove

references to the .Net framework.

 

This was useless as it only appears to remove the entries in the

installed software list, which were removed by the uninstall anyway.

However this screwed up my software that used the .NET software which

even reinstalling has not fixed.

 

So at the moment status is SNAFU.

 

 

Cheers

TonyS.

 

PS. Attackmeister. My situation was reinstall of Windows XP (my

install CD included SP2). I didn't remove SP2 on its own. Does that

make a difference?

Had success with this.

 

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.
