Hi, all. I'm unable to install one of the Security updates that came out
today on two different XP Pro systems. It gives this error,

Installation Failure

Error Code: 0x80242006

Install it directly from here

I was able to install it by going here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

But why the Windows Update site can't install it is a mystery.

I am having the same problem. I can't find this update listed on Microsoft's
site anywhere. Yet it's on Microsoft Windows update. Anyone have any ideas?

I did the work around suggested by Peter. The update shows in Add and
Remove Programs but not in my installation history and the wee yellow shield
is still showing that I have to download it. How can I get rid of it?

The Link worked to download and install it.

Thanks.

I called Microsoft Customer Service to report this problem and was told that,
because my Windows XP Professional was installed as OEM, I needed to call the
manufacturer about this problem!? Go figure!

Have you rebooted?

Any wonder why we hate their guts! It's their damn update, and they should
provide an answer!

Thanks, Peter, this worked perfectly. The "tech" that Lou Svach called

I have the same problem. I tried downloading the update twice, once from the
Windows Update site and once from Technet site. Both didn't work. The
Windows Update site failed and the technet site cancelled. I have little
failed and cancelled icons next to the failed and cancelled update. I
finally successfully downloaded the update from the Microsoft download site.
It shows up in my Add/Remove folder, but not in my Windows Update folder. I
rebooted and nothing changed. Then I completely shut the computer down and
rebooted and again nothing changed. How would I get it to show up in my
Windows Update history?

Try again. It's been fixed, supposedly.

I rebooted and it was still there, but after about an hour I noticed it had
disappeared, and has still not returned this morning!

B*** S***, Peter. Their first response is always to "blame" OEM, and, as in
this case, it's usually their fault. Too many people waste valuable time
contacting their OEM when, if MS did their job correctly and had any concerns
for its customers, would look into the problem first before sending people
off on a wild goose chase.
