updates instal failure & WGA

[Guest maria]

I have been trying to install WindowsXP SP2 & office 2002 updates (following

a system crash & re-installation of Windows) without sucess. I have

validated & activated Windows (a retail copy) with assistance from this forum

but downloading WGA(N) has not helped. What else can I do? Updates on other

programmes (ie explorer)are bieng installed but not windows.

As you are using that cranky error prone web interface discussion group, the

second one is suggested as more appropriate.

 

Windows Update specific newsgroup:

 

Via NNTP server (your newsreader):

http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsupdate

Via WEB:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsupdate

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft

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

installation

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

 

You cannot install some updates or programs: Go to:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822798&Product=winxp

You may receive an "Error 0x80072EE2," "Error 0x80072EE7," "Error

0x80072EFD," "Error 0x80072F76," or "Error 0x80072F78" error message when you

try to use the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941

 

Please copy and paste the following into a Notepad and safe as Reg.bat on

your Desktop then double click the Reg.bat to execute it and click "YES" to

register the Required DLLs for the windows updates engine.

 

regsvr32 Msxml.dll

regsvr32 Msxml2.dll

regsvr32 atl.dll

regsvr32 wuapi.dll

regsvr32 inetcomm.dll

regsvr32 wups.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

regsvr32 wucltui.dll

regsvr32 wuweb.dll

regsvr32 MSXML3.dll

regsvr32 cryptsvc.dll

regsvr32 dssenh.dll

regsvr32 qmgr.dll

regsvr32 wuapi.dll

regsvr32 oleaut32.dll

regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

regsvr32 wups2.dll

net start wuauserv

 

 

Reboot the machine and see if you will be able to get and install any updates.

Glad to read your probs are fixed - I was a bit lazy not to have given you

the more direct links provided by nass.

Have you considered using newsgroups rathert than the web interface.

It is so much easier to handle - just like sending an email.
