Skraelos Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Is it possible to make this link work or somehow bypass it? I've removed IE and even when I use the IE-engine plugin for Opera and go to http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftu...v6/default.aspx it let's me press "install", choose whether to change updates setting etc, but the it just gives me the following error:Microsoft Update could not be installed on your computerMake sure that you log on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group, and then try again. More troubleshooting optionsIf your computer is connected to a network and the problem persists, contact your system administrator to see if your Microsoft Update settings are managed using group policy. If your computer is not connected to a network, or if your system administrator has not disabled Microsoft Update, check if the Windows Update service is disabled or stopped. To see how to start a service, search Help and Support on your computer. Note: If you experience problems with installing Microsoft Update, you can continue to get updates for your computer by going to Windows Update in Control Panel. [Error number: 0x80004005]So, how can I make windows update install updates for other MS products now? Do I have to leave IE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skraelos Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Well I believe then there should be a reminder that IE is "needed for: microsoft update" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) Nope not needed there are plugins for the other browsers that allow the use of the MU\WU services...NM after doing some googleing it was a myth.
