Windows Updates fail to install

There are fixes there for the different operating systems.

Rick

How much free space do you have?

Pudgy One, I ran the Microsoft Fix It, and it said that the Windows Update component needed to be repaired  & the program fixed it.

Now I just have to see if I restart will anything happen, or if I receive the same results.

theflash1932, 2.46 GB free, but it always seems to fluctuate up and down since these Windows updates been acting funny.

AfroSolace,

Did you restart your computer after running the fix?

Rick

PudgyOne,

I restarted it & it restarted normally. Does that mean everything is alright?

AfroSolace,

If the updates are installing, then it seems that everything is ok.

Rick

The problem is still occuring :-/...anymore suggestions? Or solutions?

AfroSolace,

Can you tell us which updates are not installing, maybe the KB numbers.

Rick

KB2468871

KB2656351

KB2539636

KB2656362

Those are just a few

AfroSolace,

All these updates are for .net framework. Iu using XP, go to Windows Updates click on custom and download all version of .net framework. Every version needs installed on an XP system. If Vista/Windows 7 they're not all needed.

I have Windows Vista, so I just don't worry about them? Or what do I do?

AfroSolace,

You can manually download the package from the blue KB articles I have listed above and see if it installs. In the one article it showed a Windows installer than may be needed to continue installing Windows Updates.

You could put the Vista operating system disk in your computer and stop it from running.

Start, all programs, accessories, right click on command prompt, left click run as administrator. Type

sfc /scannow          (space between the c and /)

Hit enter. This will replace any Windows files that are missing or corrupt.

When it's finished, take out the disk and restart the computer and try Windows Updates ot the above links to see if everything installs.

Rick

I ran the Command Prompt while the Vista disc was inside. It said some files were found corrupt but some weren't fixed. I tried downloading one of the KB files afterwards and received this message:

"Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile

Patch (d:\f7f23d7b2853cdd1202b2149bd00f441\NDP40-KB2656351.msp) Install failed on product (Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile). Msi Log:

Final Result: Installation failed with error code: (0x80070643), "Fatal error during installation. " (Elapsed time: 0 00:01:12)."

AfroSolace,

I think you should ask over at Microsoft Answers. There are Microsoft technicians there to help you get the .net framework installed and will help remove these error messages.

The last resort I would use is to backup all files and folders and restore the computer back to factory, but that's drastic.

Let me know what the people at Microsoft have to say.

Rick

Ok, Thanks so much for the help though! :-)
