| 367240 | 2005-06-26 11:29:00 | Running XPhome SP2. Although the critical updates are downloaded,I continually get the message "updates failed to install". Can anyone shed some light on this problem. Thanks Hook |

| 367241 | 2005-06-26 12:07:00 | From here (blogs.msdn.com) , comes one problem similar to your own... " So, I decided to go to Windows Update manually. And there they were waiting for me, 5 high importance updates. 4 critical updates and one update for the Windows Installer 3.1. So I went on and chose to install them all. An error message came up telling me that the updates failed to install. strange! So I tried again. Same error. am running XP SP2. Then I thought that the Windows Installer might need to be installed by itself. So, I went to Windows Update and deselected all the other critical updates (strangely they now became 6 up from the 5 they were the previous times) and left only Installer 3.1. It worked, so after Installer was installed I went back and installed all the critical updates. " |
