| 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 |

| 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) | ||
