Guest travisM Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I just reinstalled windows xp sp2 and when I went to update, there were many critical updates (71) and when I went to install them, thay all failed. When I go to the windows update site and click "Review Update History" they don't even show up. Why are the updates failing? How can I fix this?
Guest justinmshawpa Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Believe it or not, I'm having the exact same problem! I just reinstalled XP SP2 and was told I had 77 critical updates. They all downloaded but failed to install. I tried again, selecting only one of the 77 and it failed immediately. I tried the first one in the list, the last one, etc... and they all failed. Like travisM, would appreciate any help and/or advice!

Guest Wadonald Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I am having the same problem as you guys are. Critical updates are not being accepted. I was going to remove SP2 but it does not show up in the Add/Remove programs list. "justinmshawpa" wrote: > Believe it or not, I'm having the exact same problem!

Guest travisM Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I reinstalled again, hoping to fix it, but still no good.

Guest justinmshawpa Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I found a solution that worked for me posted on the windows update discussion. I'm at my office now so don't have the details of which one discussion thread it was, but can post the details later. Basically, you have to disable auto update service, run a batch program from command prompt, uninstall the auto updater, reinstall the auto updater, and then retry the critical updates. I did all this, tried to install 1 critical update (which worked), then tried 5 (which worked) at a time, then did 16 at a time which also worked. I left for the office after starting the computer on doing the remaining 55... hopefully they will all be done when I return home tonight. If you don't want to wait until later... I was able to find the solution by getting the error code from the windowsupdate.log file and then searched on that error code in the discussion groups.

Guest travisM Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I FIXED IT!!!! You have to use dial-a-fix. It fixed WU 100%!
Guest justinmshawpa Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Here is a copy of the solution that I found that worked for me... it was a post by tourque3000@gmail.com on 6/21/07.... I was able to install all the critical updates this afternoon after going through this fix process... Okay. So this is the process that I went through to get it working: 1. stopped the windows update service ( Start > run > net stop wuauserv ) 2. renamed the directory windows/SoftwareDistributionto windows/ SoftwareDistribution.old 3. uninstalled the windows installer 3.1 (KB893803) 4. created a batch file that went through and registered the associated DLL's, Here is the structure of that batch file net stop wuauserv regsvr32 wuweb.dll regsvr32 wups2.dll regsvr32 wups.dll regsvr32 wucltui.dll regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll regsvr32 wuaueng.dll regsvr32 wuapi.dll regsvr32 wups.dll regsvr32 wuaueng.dll regsvr32 wucltui.dll regsvr32 wuweb.dll regsvr32 msxml.dll regsvr32 msxml2.dll regsvr32 msxml3.dll regsvr32 urlmon.dll regsvr32 softpub.dll regsvr32 initpki.dll regsvr32 mssip32.dll regsvr32 wintrust.dll regsvr32 dssenh.dll regsvr32 rsaenh.dll regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll regsvr32 sccbase.dll regsvr32 slbcsp.dll regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll regsvr32 jscript.dll net start wuauserv 5. restarted the computer 6. Opened a browser and went to windows update 7. Downloaded the Windows installer 3.1 --> success! 8. Restarted 9. Downloaded the rest of the updates If you have any comments or want any clarification on steps, dont hesitate to post! -Jared "travisM" wrote: > I FIXED IT!!!! You have to use dial-a-fix.

Guest Mickey Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 -- What is "dial-a-fix"? where and how do I get it? How do I "create a batch file" that will go through and register all of the associated DLL's? I downloaded all of the 77 udates to a removable hard drive from another computer and manually installed all of them, however, I still can't get any new downloads nor can I get the newest definitions for microsoft defender because they won't install. The manually downloaded updates show in my add/remove program folder but not in my updated history folder.
