XP professional, system checks for needed updates, they are listed, install

is selected, the download window pops up, each download in turn then fails, i

have tried everything i can think of, non of the KB articles seem to deal

with this, there is no warning, no error code, it simply shows download

failed in the download box.

See if the information in this article helps. Note: While the title of the

article only mentions repair installation, it's been reported in these

newsgroups that the suggested fix may help when the issue occurs after a clean

installation.

 

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft

Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP installation

Good luck

Re: update download fails

 

Use my Svchosts Fix tool. Download it here

http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm if that does not fix it then

use the Automatic Update Repair Tool on the same page.

Re: update download fails

 

Sheeesh another stupid MVP troll. Where and when did I ever say that that

was mine, I never said that you just assumed it was was because I offered

it. Is something wrong with your reading comprehension? 77a has been pulled.

That means IT IS NOT AVAILABLE HELLO HELLO! IS ANYONE HOME KNOCK KNOCK. When

it because available I will update my site but until then version 76, which

"IS" still available will stay where it is. Now get lost.

You did in your own post:

 

"Use my Svchosts Fix tool. Download it here "

 

That tells people that it's YOUR tool, that you authored it or had

someone write it for you.

 

If you had said "Download a copy of the MS SVCHOSTS File Tool" you would

be correct, but you didn't.

"It" apparently thinks it's an MVP. It is not an MVP and never has been

one. Perhaps the bust of employees at Ames Research Lab for having child

pornography on their computers confused "it" ?

Oh wait, "it" doesn't work there anymore.

You said the 'Automatic Update Repair Tool' was yours before the author

of the tool contacted you and requested a change on your download page.

You *had* to add that others created " some tools " and the MS EULA

requirement prior to downloading the tool.

At the very least you could use the tool's name that the *author* gave

to it and not make one up ... AU Client and WindowsUpdate Reset Tool

http://www.codeplex.com/aureset/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=13656

 

What is particularly galling is that MS made the author of the tool pull

it for review but "it" still offer a BUGGY version of it with impunity.

Perhaps someone will contact MS Legal for an opinion on that.

Please note I did not write that script, but I forget where I got it from, I

wish I could give credit where it is due.

I'm glad I could help, everybody else is to busy with the pissing contest, I

think they should just stick to the issue at hand.
