Automatic updates fail to install

[Guest Ed H]

After a repair installation Automatic updates doesn't work. My computer

seems to constantly be down loading files, and I keep getting messages that

"so and so" update was not successfully installed. Checked for

spyware/virus, all clear. ???

Download the latest Windows Update Agent: (Applicable to your version of

Windows)

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891

Type "Location of your file here" /wuforce in the run command and press

Enter. You don't even need to restart your PC!

For example: if your file is stored in C:\Downloads, you need to type

exactly like this:

 

"C:\Downloads\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" /wuforce

See if this helps,

Have you looked at : Updates are not installed successfully from Windows

Update, from Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you

repair

a Windows XP installation

Ignore the title.

Re: Automatic updates fail to install

 

I think that did it. The yellow flag is gone and the CPU is finally at rest

but when I go to the update site it says I need to register so I click yes

and then it says the page can not be displayed? I don't know if I or windows

is the problem.

Re: Automatic updates fail to install

 

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

 

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.

Re: Automatic updates fail to install

 

What is the *exact* message displayed ?

 

Regarding KB943144, did you install the latest Version of the Windows

Update Agent *and* register wups2.dll at a Command Prompt ?
