Error Loading C:\documents

[ralexand88]

I got this error message after updating my CD using the rollup instructions.

It said:

Error Loading C:\Documents

The specified module could not be found.

Any clues to what this could be?

are you trying to run Q817787 from svcpack.inf?

[ralexand88]

Yep. I realiza this may be a dum question but Im assuming when I update to WMP9 I dont need this update?

[Aaron]

That's right, you'll only need to install Q828026 after installing WMP9.

I'm getting the same error (I am using the cmdlines.txt method and not the svcpack.inf method)

[Aaron]

There's no solution, it actually works for a few who have mentioned it, but they didn't say how exactly they got it to work.

My tip: install 817787.exe in GuiRunOnce instead. Besides, you don't need this update if you install WMP9.

Seems to me like somewhere in your batch files or other references you forgot quotes around your directories. Since "C:\Documents AND SETTINGS" doesn't conform to the 8.3 naming scheme, and contains spaces, you need to put quotes (" ") around the entire directory and file name, but NOT around your paramters such as "/s" or some other one that you might use. I'm not sure if this answers your question, but how I understand your question, it seems to me like this will cure it. Hope I helped.

No - it's a bug in a inf-file of this hotfix ...

You can use the "/t" parameter for a workaround. I.e. sth like:

WindowsMedia8-KB817787-x86-DEU.exe /q:a /r:n /t:"%WINDIR%\Temp"
