Virtual Server Update KB937986 - reoffering itself


Recommended Posts

A single patch has failed to properly install on a Windows 2003 SBS server

for Virtual Server 2005 R2. The update is KB937986. The update goes through

the install, says it is comlete, requests a restart, and once restarted is

again reoffered. This is also a WSUS 3.0 box. Initially I tried to install

solely by WSUS but having had this time consuming (server reboots are 10-15

minute cycles - Exchange & SQL logs ...etc) is really painful to find the

time to make trial & error attempts. I also tried once through MU & then

also downloaded the patch directly to the desktop for the last try.

 

How can I troubleshoot this?

Has the Default Temp/TMP environmental variable been edited, Dale ?

That was the cause of the update failing to install or being reoffered

in various earlier threads.

The value of those environment system variables is both the same: c:\temp. I

assume you are refering to system variables and not user variables for

tmp/temp. If the user variable if of some noteworthy importance please let

me know where I can read more information about this.

 

I really don't remember having every altered this on this box in the 3 years

it has been in operation.

 

Any other ideas?

See if you can locate the KB937986.log. That should provide a clue as to

where the update is failing to install.

It may be in WINDOWS\Temp if not in C:\temp or, in %userprofile%\Local

Settings\Temp.

Here is the contents located under the %userprofile% path:

 

"Patch applied successfully. Resource copied from

C:\DOCUME~1\Dale\LOCALS~1\Temp\vssrvc.exe to D:\Program Files\Microsoft

Virtual Server\vssrvc.exe

Return Code = 3010"

 

So this doesn't clarify much of anything. The patch thinks its installed

until the next scan of the system reoffers it again.

 

Any other help you can offer?

Try setting TEMP to the D:\ drive, Dale. It appears that the drive with

TEMP must be the same one that VS is installed to.

Here's the KB937986.log from my system for the VPC update:

> Patch applied successfully. Resource copied from D:\DOCUME~1\MOWGRE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\

> Virtual PC.exe to D:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC\Virtual PC.exe

> Return Code = 0

 

Return Code = 3010 A restart is required to complete the install. This

does not include installs where the ForceReboot action is run.

I'll look into this suggestion but I have a couple of reservations:

 

This TEMP path is pointing to my personal profile which isn't so easy to

redirect without significant ramifications. There are time intensive

considerations in doing so and this is still for an unknown result.

 

My should a patch be so convoluted? No other product requires this

workaround and I'm not going to swtich TEMP variables every time patches are

released for one server. I'll never get anything done growing business with

new customers.

 

Does Microsoft provide any deeper support for problematic patches rather

than the public newsgroup method? Do you know of any phone number I can use

besides the generic one for PSS?

Well despite the mentioned reservations I reconsidered that a temporary swith

of the user system variable would be of little consequence as long as I

flipped it back. So I set it to D:\temp. I then tried installing the WSUS

offering from the yellow alert that has been sitting there for weeks and it

failed. After that I clicked on the downloaded patch file that was already

pre-positioned ready-to-go on the desktop.

 

The result in the log file match the previous attempts:

"Patch applied successfully. Resource copied from d:\Temp\vssrvc.exe to

D:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual Server\vssrvc.exe

Return Code = 3010 "

 

So what is Return Code = 3010 as opposed to the Return Code - 0 that you had

gotten? Please advise.

Here's a list of codes generated from Windows Installer:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304888

 

ERROR_SUCCESS 0 Action completed successfully.

 

ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_ 3010 A restart is required to complete the

REQUIRED install. This does not include installs

where the ForceReboot action is run.

Note that this error will not be available until future version of the

installer.

 

It appears that 'something' is amiss if rebooting the system does not

get the update to install properly or, it's being redected by AU.

 

Since this is a Security update, then you're entitled to 'no charge'

support -

> Customers in the U.S. and Canada can receive technical support from Microsoft

> Product Support Services at 1-866-PCSAFETY. There is no charge for support calls that are

That's as deep as it gets, Dale.

 

Two things that I'd try would be

 

1) Make sure that all Services for VS are Stopped prior to installing

the update.

2) Download the update once more and save it to or move it to the D:\

drive and see if it installs from there.

After the reboot the update seems to have taken this time, which of course is

very welcome news. What a strangely written patch I hope I never encounter

this again

I'll second that, Dale. So I take it that it's not being reoffered

again ?

Interestingly enough the update has not reoffered itself since the steps

taken on my last post. So it would seem this time consuming patch

installation is over.

 

This is a very strange patch and I hope Microsoft fixes this for the future.

Thanks for the assistance.
