Guest Smirnoff Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 I have my auto updates set to inform but not to download or install. Today, the yellow shield appeared and I was informed of 3 updates: Win Defender Windows SP3 (YES) Junk filter for Outlook Clicking on SP3, I was informed that some elements had been released individually but this update included them all in one pack. I clicked "Download" and a minute or so later the yellow shield disappeared! As SP3 showed over 100MB, I thought I'd give it a while but nothing has happened since. Before going to the MS Update site, I thought I'd post to see if anybody has had a similar experience.

However, still don't know why the auto update (inform only) download aborted.

I went to Microsoft Ofice Update and downloaded the program from there. Is it the size of the upgrade that stops it from being downloaded. Serge

It would be interesting to find out the experience of other users who have the other two options for Auto Update selected i.e. Auto download and install, or Download but do not install. It may be that it's only the "Inform" option that has this problem with large files.

Guest Thiggy Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 The installation may fail if there are any Office programs open during installation attempt, like Outlook, etc. Also it may be helpful to temporarily quit or exit any security programs during the installation. If there is a HIPS program running, set it to learning and/or install mode during the service pack installation. "TV" wrote: > I have down loaded the updates but the installation failed.
