Update Problem

[Shaun]

One of the systems I am responsible for has an update
issue. The system will download the updates fine however
it will just stop at the download. It will not attempt to
continue. The download and installation box just sits
there. I reset the i explorer settings to default just in
case one of the employees changed them. I am currently
reviewing other sources of information however any advice
will be appreciated.

If Updates fail to install:-
If you receive a 643 error message or a message indicating that Windows
Update was unable to complete the operation. This may occur if the catalog
database (Edb.log) is damaged.
Try this:-
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
del /q "%SystemRoot%\System32\Catroot2\Edb.log
This command will force the catalog database to rebuild itself.

Site

If the Windows Update scan feature reaches 100%, and then displays "There

Verify that your computer's date and time are accurate and that the Internet

To check the language setting in Internet Explorer:
1. Click "Tools" and then choose "Internet Options"

3. Make sure at least one language is listed in the "Language Options"

Windows Update Is Not Installed
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;811269
This issue may occur if you use the AOL Web browser interface to access and
download Windows Updates. The AOL Web browser does not communicate properly
with the Windows Installer software, and this may cause Windows Installer to
stop responding.

You Cannot Install Updates or You Are Prompted to Install Updates That You
Have Already Installed
