Guest Ian Shaw Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Hi Guys, I am having trouble updating the Windows XP with the latest updates from the microsoft site. My computer appears to be able to download the information, but simply fails to install and when the Wndows icon returns it has all the updates that have not been able to be installed. Some of the updates that have failed are: Security Update for Windows XP (KB928843) Security Update for Windows XP (KB890859) Security Update for Windows XP (KB914389) Security Update for Windows XP (KB920683) Security Update for Windows XP (KB908519) Update for Windows XP (KB894391) Security Update for Windows XP (KB935839 There are 99 updates in all that do not wish to load. there are no error codes, the icon just says that these updates have not been installed. What should I do, my windows XP is genuine!! please help me, it is quite frustrating!!
Guest Jimemac Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Wow, do I know your frustration. I have been trying to download 78 Updates for the past couple of days. I have googled and searched and read a lot of hints, none or which seemed to work. Here is the error from C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log FATAL: Error: 0x80004002. wuauclt handler: failed to spawn COM server I found an article that had some info that allowed me to fixed the error by re-registering dll update files. Worked for me. http://www.wsus.info/forums/lofiversion/index.php?t6026.html This is what allowed the Updates to start working: Re-Register the Windows Update dll files regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wuweb.dll regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wups2.dll regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wups.dll regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wucltui.dll regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wuaueng1.dll regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wuaueng.dll regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wuapi.dll Then restart the Automatic Updates service.

Guest jim Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 No problem Ian, To reregister the dll files you can use the Run Command, click on Start, click on Run, then enter: regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wuweb.dll then click OK, you should get a positive response in about 2 seconds that it completed. Then do the same with each of the following: regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wups2.dll regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wups.dll regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wucltui.dll regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wuaueng1.dll regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wuaueng.dll regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wuapi.dll This worked for me, I hope it works for you.

Guest heysweetie Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 I am having the same problem...79 updates will not install. I had a hard drive crash so I reinstalled XP Pro with SP2. I set the auto updates, downloaded 79 critical updates and now I cannot get the updates to install (failed updates with no error message) and I don't want to add anything more to my computer until it is updated. I tried your 'run' with the dlls instructions and I got an error message: LoadLibrary("C:\winnit\system\wwweb.dll)failed. The specific module could not be found. what do you suggest next? Should I reinstall XP? pls help! thanks, j "jim" wrote: > Ian, > > I am happy that I was able to help you. > > All the best > Jimemac > > "Ian Shaw" <IanShaw@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:62FEB259-3324-4B5F-801D-AC98A31FA38C@microsoft.com... > > Your a genious mate!! > > > > I tried that Jimemac and it works like a dream!! > > > > Many thanks mate, > > > > I am now able to download and install all of the outstanding updates!! > > > > Cheers, > > > > Ian > > "Jimemac" wrote: > > > > > Wow, do I know your frustration.
