Dave-H Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Just to report all 13 updates installed OK on both my machines. Strangely my main machine never showed a yellow shield in the system tray, whereas my netbook did. It took about 20 minutes to scan with Microsoft Update on my main machine, on the netbook it took a couple of hours! I guess that's because it's a pretty weak machine. The .NET updates took ages to install, but they always seem to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gives no confusion, .NET Framework 2 sp2 is part of the .NET Framework 3.5 sp1 package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Indeed so, but KB40414580 is an update specifically for .NET 2.0 SP2, as can be seen from its standalone file name. One strange anomaly was that on my netbook, but not on my main machine, after I successfully installed all the updates, I was then prompted to install a further five .NET 2.0 updates, which presumably weren't installed before. They took ages to install, and I was dreading that there would then be another prompt to install KB40414580, and then the five updates again, and so on round and round for ever, but fortunately that doesn't seem to have been the case. Whew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD73 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Hey guys, I'm still struggling with this round of updates. Most are failing to install no matter how many tricks I try to get them to go. I'd like to reinstall Windows Update. Can anyone point to to a good download of the latest Windows Update I can use?

glnz Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Wow - those 13 went fast. Probably because I remembered to turn off Avast AV Free. See y'all next month - Happy Springtime ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD73, looks like You're facing problems with Your antivirus software. Try disabling it (or even better uninstall it completely) then make sure You still have POSReady tweak in Your system. And finally try installing updates manually from my list. Do not restart until You install all the updates. After last update, restart Your system and try Windows Update again Edited April 13, 2017 by Bersaglio add quotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD73 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Thank you for your suggestions, Bersaglio. I have tried disabling my antivirus, and I did try loading the patches directly from the downloads and that did not work either. When I tried double clicking the downloaded files I got the below message shortly after it began expanding the file. "The System Cannot Find the File Specified" I've found version 6.2.0029.0 of Updater. Does anyone know if that will work with our XP systems?

It seems that Your system was infected by some virus. You should restore these associations (probably You need ERD Commander CD/erdregedit or other similar tools because regedit won't work on Your system for the same reason). And Windows Update has nothing to do with this problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Windows Update has nothing to do with this problem... That had occurred to me too. However I did run SuperAntiSpyWare, Malwarebytes, and MalwareBytes Root Kit. All came up perfectly clean. All other EXE's run fine with no problems either. I just ran SFC.EXE /Scannow to see if I had any other sort of corruption and also Disk Clean Up. This is a real head scratchier for me.

heinoganda Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 If there is no virus infection, it can not hurt to try the following. Open Notepad and paste the following code regsvr32 wuapi.dll regsvr32 wuaueng.dll regsvr32 wucltui.dll regsvr32 wups.dll regsvr32 wuweb.dll regsvr32 Mssip32.dll regsvr32 atl.dll regsvr32 Softpub.dll regsvr32 Wintrust.dll regsvr32 Initpki.dll Then save it as a batch file (for example, rep.bat) and run it. Restart the computer and try a manually downloaded update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heinoganda Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Then check whether the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" is present in the registry. If this does not help, then my knowledge is unfortunately exhausted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the RunOnce in my registry, but there are no Values. Should it just be blank? I'm getting ready to press my luck and fire off that System Restore.
