Guest ColTom2 Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Hi: I just refomatted my Sony VGC-716G and Windows Update worked fine with the last update being SP2. Then I upgraded to MCE2005 to complete my reformatting where I would have Windows XP MCE2005 back. I now have 82 High Priority updates that I cannot install for whatever reason. I deleted the Software Distribution Folder and Windows built it back automatically. Next I ran Windows Update and it downloaded all 82 of them , but when it started initializing for install they all failed. I have tried three times and I can get all updates to download, but none will install. Any recommendations to resolve this issue will greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Col Tom

Try this: Get Dial-a-Fix: http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix Use its options to fix: - Windows Installer - Windows Update - All the Registration Center options. Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2" Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution". Then click "GO" and wait until it is done... Reboot may be needed. - Download/Install Windows Update v3. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237 (You may need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce" right after an additional reboot - immediately after logging in.) - Download/Install the 927891 patch. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A - Reboot. - Come back and let us know how things went! -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
