Windows Updates Fail

[NayrYLC]

I used nlite to create a disk for my HP nc8430 , because of having to have the sata drivers for the install.

Ive created a handfull of disks and have ran into the problem first of all geting a dw20.exe error, then created another disk, performed a repair install overtop that one and now windows will not update. It did however fix the issue with the dw20.exe.

Any ideas, Im at my wits end.

When is that error visible.

On the first logon or while using nLite?

Also attach the preset used.

I recently performed a repair install of WinXP SP2 on a machine that was current on updates. After the repair install, the Windsows Update Site showed that the machine needed 80+ updates, but all attempts to install updates failed. I did a lot of searching for a solution with no luck. Finally, using the troubleshooting link given by the update site when the installation failed, I found a Microsoft document that indicated a repair install can result in a number of dll files being overwritten and listed a series of commands to run from a command prompt to correct the problem. I ran the commands and all was well.

Sorry, I didn't save the info, but you should be able to find it through the troubleshooting link on the update error page.
