    I had troubles after applying KB4487085.  After installing KB4487085, many programs would not run correctly and I would sometimes receive errors like the following:

    "The procedure entry point sprinttf_s could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll.""
    "Error loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\NvCpl.dll"

    The second error message appear to be for the nVidia driver software.
     

    I removed KB4487085 and things seemed corrected.

    I've had this happen too.  I got two messages:

    1

    rundll32.exe  
    procedure entry point spintf_s could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll

    -------------

    2

    Rundll
    Error Loading C:\windows\system32\Nvcpl.dll
    Specificied Procedure Could Not be Found

     

    I also used the recommended /O switch and the results were the same.

    Any words of wisdom?

    Most likely, with such values everything will be fine. Removing them are unnecessary in this case.

    Interestingly, I had backed up both those keys before I deleted them.  Mine were also set to "0" and everything had been working well.  It may have been a non-issue for those of us who missed it.  Regardless, thank you all for the input!  

  3. I really want to triple check this before I delete.  Remove everything then with the exception of the POSReady key?

    Ah, okay.  So now I've removed WES and WEPOS keys.

    edited again

    I manually ran the MU and it picked up 4 of the 5 updates.  It did not find the Office 2003 update, so I downloaded and installed that one by hand.  All went well.

    Thanks again, fellas!

    P.S. Windows Embedded Standard 2009 (WES09) support has ended. WES registry keys should be removed. There should be only POSReady key left from now on.

    So I've removed the WES key.  Shall I leave the WEPOS and the rest of the keys here?

    Thanks!

    I guess it's important if you actually use IE8 these days.... :unsure:

    Edit: Looks like the vulnerability exploits Javascript in IE8

     

    Haha.  I'm with you.  I only use IE8 to update my XP.  That said, MU found it quick and it installed without a hitch.  It almost seems as if XP is becoming a reliable O/S.

    That brings a tear to my eye.

    Yes, I had to do that too!
    I also can't install KB4457046.
    It throws error 0x66A every time on Microsoft Update, and when I try the standalone installer, I get "KB4457046 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer."
    Anyone any ideas about that?
    I can't find any reference online to that specific problem.
    The other .NET 4.0 update installed fine.
    :dubbio:

    Hey Dave, until you get some replies from the heavy hitters I'll add I do my installs with my virus protection disabled.  Also have you tried clearing your temp folder for your updates?  The last thing I can think of is check your logs for a clue.

    Hey, SD73 - could you give me the complete instructions for running it with /OVERWRITEOEM ?

    Do i go into cmd, use cd to go to my download folder, and type in the whole long [filename].exe followed by /OVERWRITEOEM ?

    If I never did /OVERWRITEOEM before and this would be the first time, should I go back first and re-do some of my others that way?

    Thanks.

    Yup, you've basically got it.  As an admin run CMD and from the directory you've downloaded the file to, and after the filename use the switch you've typed.  There isn't anything else you need to do before hand.  However, full disclosure I don't know if on my PC things would have installed okay or not without the switch.  I've been using it out-of-hand because I haven't had a problem any of the times I've used it, and it has helped me solve some repeating kb install problems I've had in the past.

    Heinoganda - my oleaut32.dll file matches your specs.

    However, I did not shut off Avast when I installed KB4134651-v2 and KB4339291.  I can UNinstall those two, shut off Avast and REinstall those two.  However, how in tarnation do I shut off Avast?  I can "Disable shields", but is that enough?

    Is it possible to install those two in Safe Mode (no Avast)?

    Thanks.

    Hey Glnz, for what it's worth I gave up on MalwareBytes a year or so ago.  I can't remember exactly what the issue was, but I was having some conflicts on my box.  I still run MalwareBytes Anti-Exploit, but for virus protection I've moved to the free version of Ad-Aware Antivirus.  It's fast and effective and no issues to date.  I also shut both my Anti-Exploit and Ant-Virus down whenever I install updates.

    Yes, I always do it that way too. Only the cumulative update of IE8 manually and then I search with IE, because it is not always necessary to install them all and it depends on the particular system.

    Just to clarify, I ran the MU first through the unupdated IE8.  It found all the updates except the IE8 update, which after all the updates had installed I manually downloaded and ran myself.  My previous experience had been as you suggest.  First updating the IE8 and the other updates followed, but on a lark I decided to try running it as-is and got everything but that one.

    Den and Mcinwwl - You two are just jealous!

    EDIT - MSE is no longer being updated?  MS has advised, "Definition updates (antimvirus/antispryware ) for Microsoft Security Essentials (v.4.4.304.0) on Windows XP will no longer be provided automatically as of July 14, 2015." 

    See ☺ LINK ☻

    Unless, of course, you are getting updates from an alternate universe,  In which case, please SHARE.

    Glnz, if you're looking for something that's free and seems to be working well without conflicts you may want to give BitDefender a whirl.  It's been pretty reliable for the past 3 or 4  months that I've been using it,
