Suggest you check the KB2619340.log, located in Windows, for a possible clue to the installation failure, Jim. Since this is a Security update you can also seek "no-charge" support from Microsoft for the installation issue - " How to obtain help and support for this security update For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in the United States and Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft subsidiary. For more information about how to contact your local Microsoft subsidiary for support issues with security updates, visit the Microsoft International Support website: http://support.microsoft.com/common/....aspx?rdpath=4 North American customers can also obtain instant access to unlimited no-charge email support or to unlimited individual chat support by visiting the following Microsoft website: http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...spx?&prid=7552 " The only hangup about contacting MS is that they are "evolving" User support options and "no-charge" support appears to be becoming extinct. In this case, evolving means that MS is reneging on their previous offers of "no-charge" support for the cleaning of Home Users infected systems and may include the installation of Security updates. With MS, one never knows as they don't even know. MowGreen ================ *-343-* FDNY Never Forgotten ================ "Security updates should *never* have *non-security content* prechecked |

PHEW thanks: Failed Windows Update
Dear Mowgreen & Peter,
Many thanks for your prompt responses to my posting. Had alook at the KB2619340.log - but got rather mind boggled! [happy to send a copy if you would like one] Couldn't find a way of accessing Ms support without giving them my credit card details! But - following your links came accross "MicrosoftFixit" - tried the default mode several times It found and fixed some errors BUT still no success installing the upgrade then came accross this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910339 [a clear and not too techy set of suggestions] and so: Tried installing in safe mode got the message KB2619340 not able to backup registrykey HKLM\Software\MicrosoftUpdates\WindowsXP\\\SP3\KB2 619340 to file C:\windows\NTUinstallKB2619340$\reg00003. 87:the parameter is incorrect RETRY and it carried on BUT still no joy. Eventually ran MicrosoftFixit again in "let me select the fixes to apply" mode. (though the link above didn't recommend it!!) It found and fixed "another problem" - but then ran on with no manual fixes suggested AND after this The upgrade reqirement does not list on reboot OR on running Windows Update on the web SO - I hope it's now ok !!!!!!! EXCEPT that it doesn't show as having been updated successfully on the Windows Update page (show history) ERR - should I carry on living in hope or investigate further do you think? !!!!!!!

PHEW thanks: Failed Windows Update
Jim,
I'm busy with out of town visitors and don't have the time to boot this system to XP Media Center ... but, what I've seen from perusing the drive it's installed to is that the update replaces a .dll, specifically - Encdec.dll version number 6.5.2715.5512 It's copied to system32 and system32\DllCache. There's an .inf file copied to WINDOWS\INF\KB2619340rg.inf It's installed, registered, then unregistered - Starting process: C:\WINDOWS\ehome\medctrro.exe /f C:\WINDOWS\INF\KB2619340rg.inf UnRegister The information in the registry that shows the update has been installed is located at HKLM\Software\MicrosoftUpdates\WindowsXP\\\SP3\KB2 619340 There should be a file list, that shows Encdec.dll has been replaced/updated. If those exist on your system then the update has installed. When I get time later this week ( Thursday ), I'll boot to MCE and see if it shows in Add/Remove Programs.

Failed Windows Update
Seems as if quite a few people hae had recent problems with some recent Xp
mediacetre edition updates flagged by the MS update system What seems to work in general is to down laod the updaste from Ms Download [eg Google msdownloads KB2628259 - the id of the failed update shown when it fails] Download the update onto your machine and save it. Then double click the saved file (what is called a manual update) If an error message is displayed in a message box then click Retry. This generally seems to result in a reported successful install If commputer doesn't automatically reboot then reboot anyway. Go to MsUpdate http://www.update.microsoft.com/micr....aspx?ln=en-us If you list you update log the success is not reported. HOWEVER if you carry on with the Update system it no longer lists the update as required - So one assumes that the update was successful.

Is any of this because of MS UPDATE pushing out
updates that require the newest installer without first pushing out that installer? Did MS ever even fix THAT little piece of genius? |
