When I look at the file KB899589.log in my c:\Windows folder it contains the following ;" Setup has detected that the Service Pack version of this system is newer than the update you are applying. There is no need to install this update. 4.235: Update.exe extended error code = 0xf06b" Nevertheless I am receiving recurrent notifications that the update is available for my system. Gerry Atrick

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Re: KB899589 failed to instal This appears to be a bug in the Windows Update detection logic. KB899589 should not be needed if WinXP SP3 was installed properly. 1. Stop the Automatic Updates service: Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK] Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Stop (Stopping the service will take a moment) 2. Delete the contents of the Download folder: Start > Run > (type in) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK] Open the Download folder and delete its contents Close the window. 3. Go to Windows Update website > Select CUSTOM and allow the scan to complete > Uncheck/deselect KB899589 and hide it ("Don't show me this update again"). 4. Start the Automatic Updates service: Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK] Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Start (Starting the service will take a moment) -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ Jeff@unknown.com wrote: > I am running XP SP3.

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Re: KB899589 failed to instal YW but I was replying to Jeff, not you. It's not always safe to follow instructions/recommendations posted for another user, Gerry. It's always best to begin a new thread about your problem, even if it appears to be identical to someone else's.

Guest Anthony Buckland Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Re: KB899589 failed to instal Without having read this thread, here's how it went with me. Offered updates to download, accepted. ...589 was one of them, only the rest (one, actually) got downloaded. Offered opportunity to install that, did so. Rebooted. Smelled rottenness in Denmark's atmosphere, went to Windows Update tool. Offered nothing. Did it twice, to make sure. ...589 seems to be off the radar, for me.
