New XP install... Update not working?

[Guest Calab]

I have just installed Windows XP Pro (SP2) on my computer. All the hardware

drivers are installed and working normally. No other software has been

installed yet. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this.

 

I went online and did my Windows updates a few times, installing SP3 and

whatever patches were offerred. I also installed Microsoft Update.

 

Now for some reason, when I do Windows Update, or try to run the MS Live

Messenger installers, I'm told that the installations have failed.

 

Right now the following updates are outstanding:

KB928365 - NET security update

.NET 1.1 SP1

KB951213 - Silverlight 1.0 install

 

The Live Messenger installer puts the following entry in the event viewer,

but I have no idea what it's complaining about:

 

The description for Event ID ( 5000 ) in Source ( WindowsLiveSetup ) cannot

be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information

or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be

able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and

Support for details. The following information is part of the event:

wlsetupdiagnostic, windows live messenger, 8.5.1302.1018, oninstallend_

0x80004002, 12.0.1471.1025, NIL, NIL, NIL, NIL, NIL, NIL.

SP2 & SP3 are fine,however after SP3 windows installer needs to be updated

to v3.1,or installations such as messenger fail.

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft

Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP

installation or you repair a Windows XP installation

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

 

NB: Ignore the title, if necessary; also applies to Upgrade installs, and

Recovery installs.
