1330227 2013-03-11 00:23:00 May be not an issue but I have often that the firewall is blocking it.

So I turn off av and firewalls and then it usually goes through easily.

The same with MSE updates.

1330228 2013-03-11 00:25:00 BITS was disabled under msconfig. That'll be a reason why it didnt work. Its working now, activex installed. The only prob now is, it looks like the net files , or some part of (one of the installs) is corrupt. So, will use the cleanup tool. And reinstall all of them again Speedy Gonzales (78)
1330229 2013-03-11 06:39:00 Right looks like its finally fixed. :clapAs above BITS was disabled. After ticking it and rebooting windowsupdate worked, so did activex. Had to use the net framework cleanup tool (blogs.msdn.com), to remove all net files then reinstalled them

Looks like the windows installer was also corrupt / kaputt. Because this error came up - This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package.

After downloading this (www.microsoft.com) 2 net framework 3.5 updates that failed before installed. And so did the defs for MSE

Only thing I have to figure out now why MSE says it needs to scan when I just did one. Unless it means a full scan

1330230 2013-03-11 09:18:00 Good work, I remember that there has been other similar problems where BITS service has been stopped. zqwerty (97)
1330231 2013-03-11 21:37:00 Speedy thank you so much for a job well done! I so appreciate all the time you spent correcting this problem as it has been going on for such a long time. I just did a mse scan and they are all up to date thanks to you. dianne pierce (13385)
1330232 2013-03-11 21:39:00 Sweet! How long did the scan take yesterday? Did it finish? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1330233 2013-03-12 21:45:00 Yes the scan finished rather quickly, probably took 1/2 hour dianne pierce (13385)
