Oops sorry 'bout that. The error is rather odd since it would initially install, then goes through that "Configuring updates, don't turn off pc yada yada" then reboots, black screen with command like messages. Not exactly errors but rather sort of copying files or something to some folders. Then it reboots again, now with a message like "unable to apply updates, reverting changes etc.), then reboots again. It will then reboots normally. But that KB update will show again in the important updates. If you update it, it will just repeat the same process.

Here's the sessions.ini on my vlited vista

I read the KB detail and it says something about POP3 email update. I removed the windows mail components in my vista. Could it be the caused of the error or there is something else?

Other than that, all the rest of the updates were installed successfully.

Windows Mail, QoS are the cause. they may have other components btw

[MagicAndre1981]

you can take a look at the "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log" to see the error message.

[nuhi]

Yeah this "hotfix" is actually a collection of hotfixes, it updates a bunch of components, meaning it is best to consider it as micro service pack, integrate and reinstall.

[oskingen]

That's what I did. it's better to do it this way.

Just that KB or all the recent hotfixes? For now, I just hid that particular hotfix since most of the the things it fixes are the ones that I removed and don't need in my UMPC. I just like to know if there is anything there that I really need that is worth reinstalling my vista. Thanks.

[MagicAndre1981]

I was able to install it on top of a vLited Vista Version and I have no problems.

[DrewWinters]

I have the same problem (x64 version though); I'm also fairly certain it's because of Windows Mail.

Just these "Performance and Compatibility" hotfix packs. Unless you are lucky to have kept all the needed components like MagicAndre1981 did.

[mOBSCENE]

Same problem here, running Vista x64 SP1. But I don't think Windows Mail or QoS are the cause, because I did not remove these. Here's my session log:

any workaround for this? i have the same prob. Reinstalling is not happening, it boggles my mind how some folks take reinstalls so lightly.
