405237 2005-11-18 07:07:00 Are you trying to install it from the windowsupdate site, or did you download KB898461 and then run it?

This is from a windowsupdate newsgroup.

Click Start, and then click Run.

In the Open box, type %windir%\windowsupdate.log and then click OK.

Scroll down towards the bottom for the latest entries to locate the error code(s) associated with the latest failed attempt to download/install.

How to read the Windowsupdate.log file:

Cheers :)
