Re: Error 0x80074273 installing KB911562

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I tried again, this time wating twelve minutes for
Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 Setup to detect
files in use and complete its installation. Having
done so, I was able to install update KB911562.

Problem solved.

Still haven't found a solution, but here's more background:
The Knowledge Base article describing the patch is
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=911562

Here's a list of possible error messages
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/915731/
however 0x80074273 is not among them.
They are all in the range 17001 - 17040

I noticed that Windows Update labelled the failed KB911562
as "Security update for MDAC 2.5 SP3." But the web page
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911562 says that KB911562
applies to MDAC versions 2.6, 2.7, and 2.8. So I thought
perhaps my MDAC is downlevel, so I downloaded MDAC 2.8 and
tried to install it.

Running MDAC_TYP.EXE (version 2.8) got to this point:

Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 Setup
Detecing in-use files
Scanning uyour system for tasks currently using
files that setup is going to install...

That screen displayed for nearly ten minutes with no obvious
activity, so I aborted the installation. Same thing happened
when I tried again.

Any suggestions for what to try next?

When attempting to installing Windows Update KB911562
(security update for MDAC 2.5 SP3) to Windows 2000, either
via Automatic Updates or Windows Update, I get error code
0x80074273. "Search for more info" finds no results.

I tried quitting all security software (Norton Antivirus,
Webroot SpySweeper) and trying again, but I still get the
same error message.

What should I do next?
