KB885205 problems

[v1rto]

I have successfully integrated every update from SP2 onwards into WinXP Pro, with the exception of KB885250 for which I get the error message saying "An error occurred while attempting to integrate this this software update package. Verify that the arcitecture, language and service pack level of the software update are valid for the target distribution folder" I am using WindowsXP-KB885250-x86-ENU.exe and as far as I can tell it is the correct update for my 32 bit build.

Any suggestions for this old noob would be much appreciated.

That hotfix was released 5 months ago. You may need to install them in their correct time of release? The hotfix does display the intregrate switch...

if still dont work with latest recommendations or other ways

you can JUST install the hotfix via svcpack.inf

if this doesnt work , change the installation kit .

Search? Yes found it now and lots more on KB885250, sorry!

Thanks for all the replies, no more needed. I will try the svcpack.inf route first and then the starting from SP2 slipstream and working forward to present day when I have a lot more time to spend on it. I suspect there will be 10 more fixes to integrate by then. Good old M$, personally I prefer Xandros 3.

cheers, bob
