updates not installing
Posted by Ed Mc on December 27th, 2007


Had to do a repair of XP installation. Had
Service Pack 2 on install disk. Now updates are
notifying me, downloading, but not installing.
When downloading I get everything from Critical
kb885884 to kb944653. I also get updates: kb889391
to kb942840. I've tried "express" install and
"custom". Each time I get a message saying the
following were not installed: kb.......... etc.
Looks like all are listed again.
Do I have to install these one at a time?
Thanks for help.

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

thank you PA Bear for the great help. I went
to the link you sent, followed the knowledge base
instructions and BINGO... my 75 updates installed
without a hitch. I never would have considered the
reason for my problem. Thank you again.
