no updates after repair install
Posted by KG on May 14th, 2008


This system, WinXP home SP2, failed to boot, didn't even get up to windows loading, unable to get
to safe mode IPL. After a repair install which went fine the system will not install any of the 93
outstanding updates. I use custom & choose "Review and install other updates
If you do not install Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB936929), other updates might still apply to your
computer. "
There is no error code given. they show 0 size and a disclaimer that the update is downloaded & if
I select it will finish installing, which it does not do when selected.

I have turned off virus scanning and used the Windows update trouble shooting to no avail. The
system appears to be operating normally other than this problem. Any ideas or suggestions?

See if the information in this articles helps.

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP installation
