Guest mariner Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Windows automatic download alerted me to downloads awaiting to be installed. Clciked on `install now` but the installation keeps failing? Have tried to manually install them one at a time but it still fails?? Any help will be greatly appreciated..... :-) -- A lie gets halfway round the world before the truth has a chance to get it`s pants on - thats a fact!
Guest TaurArian [MS-MVP] Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 How to view the Update log in Windows:- Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type: %windir%\windowsupdate.log and then click OK. Scroll down towards the bottom for the latest entries to locate the error code(s) associated with the latest failed attempt to download/install. If appropriate copy and paste the error codes into this thread so someone may be able to assist you. On the other hand, you may be able to find the error code and other suggestions by searching the Newsgroup. Also check Windows folder for file called KB******.log (****** = number of update ie KB896688) and post the contents of the failed update. This may provide further clues as to why the update failed.
