[RESOLVED?] Update for KB2949927 Fails to Install

I took someone's advice and deleted the update from installed updates. Windows Update then downloaded it again, and this time it installed without incident. Tom -- remove .invalid to reply by email |

I had the same problem yesterday after I restored a backup (windows 7 from april 2014). Did you connect your hard drive on an other sata port on your motherboard before the problem occured? I solved this by connecting my hard drive on the sata port where it was initially a few months ago. |

KB2949927 is one of the security updates for Windows 7 that appeared in the list shown by Windows Update for October. I tried twice today to install it, first with the package of other Windows 7 security and non-security updates (KB3000061, KB2977292, KB2984972, KB3000869, KB3000988, and KB2998527) and then alone. Both attempts failed. I called Microsoft's technical support and spent the better part of an hour on the phone while the support person remotely used my PC in an attempt to fix the problem. After she succeeded in corrupting my installation of PGP and deleting my history of previously installed Microsoft updates, she said that she had successfully installed the KB2949927 update. I am quite sure that the KB2949927 update has NOT been installed. It does not appear with the updates listed if I open Programs and Features (also known as Add/Remove Programs) and select the link for "View installed updates". Other of today's updates and also earlier updates -- including those whose history was erased -- do appear in that list of updates; and there are no unknown updates for today in either the "View installed updates" or in the main Programs and Features list. Even more conclusive evidence that the KB2949927 update has not been installed is the fact that Windows Update still shows this update as important and awaiting installation. NOTE: (1) I do not allow automatic downloading and installation of any software updates for which I have that option. I want to schedule updates for when it is convenient for me, especially updates that require rebooting or an Internet connection after the initial download (e.g., Windows). (2) I update the various Microsoft products separately, which facilitates reverting to a prior state. Thus, with the October package, each of the following was done separately: Windows 7, .NET Framework, Internet Explorer, Office 2007. The update for KB2949927 has disappeared from the list of pending updates in Windows Update on my PC. I guess that resolves my problem, at least for now. It was pulled...no longer being pushed down.. It actually said 'pending' ? -- ....winston msft mvp consumer apps |

I solved this by connecting my hard drive on the sata port where it was initially a few months ago. I did not modify any hardware. For 40+ years, I was a software engineer (programmer, tester, requirements analyst, etc). Do you know how many software engineers it takes to change a lightbulb? None! That is a hardware problem. -- David E. Ross The Crimea is Putin's Sudetenland. The Ukraine will be Putin's Czechoslovakia. See http://www.rossde.com/editorials/edtl_PutinUkraine.html. |
