Can't install XP x64 SP2

[Guest Mike T.]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to install XP x64 SP2 (currently running SP1), and I continually

get the following error:

c:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\51f9ddc99bdeac787cf18461eda3f2e5\amd64\update\update.inf

is not correct.

 

This is when I try to install from Windows Update. I've also downloaded the

file and tried to install manually, but the same problem appears. After

doing some googling, I saw that there may be an issue with the cryptographic

service. I checked, and it is indeed running. For good measure, I restarted

the service.

 

There's no rights issue, since my user account has admin rights on the local

machine (in a workgroup), and the Administrators group has Full Control on

the C:\windows\inf

directory. I'va also attempted to install with the Administrator credential.

 

Can anyone think of other reasons why this may not install? Thanks!

 

Mike

If you don't get a reply here, you can check the updates site. Also,

Microsoft does provide free support for installing updates.

Mike:

If you're running IE7, rolling it back to IE6 may cure the error. Have a

great day.
