Hi,

I'm using nLite to slipstream all the updates I have for xp x64, but Windows Update says KB2443685 is not installed. If I let WU install the update, it fails.

Here's the log from the event viewer:

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8007f0f4: Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB2443685).

Does anyone know what might be going on? Thanks in advance.

I had that issue once with a file being open. I had to manually download it and pass it something like a "-o" argument to get it on. That worked in my case.

I need to slipstream it using nLite, not manual installation. You probably mean the /o switch (overwrite IIRC).

Your Last Session.ini might be helpful. Also, the KB2443685.log file in your Windows directory should have some answers within.

Thanks 5eraph. It seems to me that I have an old timezone update already installed. It's going to take a while to find it out

Here's the log:

As for Last Session.ini, it's in Spanish, but the hotfixes section should be understandable

It was kb981793 all along. I forgot to remove it from my update folder. I had to read several journals of replaced upgrades. Thanks!

If you're interested in the latest cumulative update, you could try KB2543367 instead of KB2443685.

Microsoft even keeps a blog related to its time zone updates.
