Windows updates do not install


Recommended Posts

I have Windows XP Professional, Build 2600.xpsp.050329-1536 (Service

Pack 2).

 

I get notification of windows update and apparently download them

successfully.

 

I then say install them. This always fails and gives me the notice

that all the updates have failed to install.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Method 1:

You may wanna try downloading Windows Update Agent 3.0 manually,

save it to a folder and run the EXE with parameter "/wuforce"

(without the quotes) afterwards:

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

 

Start -> Run ->

"[Complete Path to EXE]\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" /wuforce [Hit Enter key]

 

Method 2:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914224/en-us

 

If both fail, please provide the error code to be found in the

"Windowsupdate.log" file in your Windows folder.

Using Microsoft Update or Windows Update. Either way do you get a

Hexadecimal error code when the installations fail ?

 

The number of conditions for updates to fail is numerous. There are a

few Microsoft Knowledge Base articles you can research. I'd start with

the following:

I Had success with this numerous times in last 2-3 weeks. s

 

I re-registered the Windows update dll as suggested by the following

post from http://forums.vnunet.com/message.jspa?messageID=870658

 

Try re-registering the windows update components. This may help fix a

corrupt installer

 

 

1. Click on Start and Run,

2. Type "REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL" (without quotation marks) and press

Enter.

3. Should get the message "DllRegisterServer in WUAPI.DLL succeeded"

Click OK.

4. Repeat above for each of the following:

 

REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL

REGSVR32 ATL.DLL

REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL

REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL

REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL

REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL

REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL

 

5. Reboot

 

Now try to install your updates. Luck, s

Dear All,

 

I followed a lot of the suggestions here. Nothing seemed to work, and

then, suddenly, the downloads did work. I am not sure what did the

trick, however.

 

In any case, thanks very much to all!
