Re: Cannot install Updates.

follow this link, it is a known safe site for me, install it and run the
select check all,(green check marks next to the GO button, it will take a
few seconds to run, then try your updates again.. I would reboot after I
ran dialafix..
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

from the site:
Dial-a-fix is an advanced utility for 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows
written by DjLizard in Borland Delphi 7 that repairs various Windows
problems, such as:

a.. Windows Update errors and problems with Automatic Updates
b.. SSL, HTTPS, and Cryptography service (signing/verification) issues
c.. COM/ActiveX object errors and missing registry entries
d.. and more.
Dial-a-fix (hereafter known as "DAF") is a collection of known fixes gleaned
from Microsoft Knowledgebase articles, Microsoft MVPs, and other important
support forums, that will assist you in repairing problems with your system.
Although this tool is ordinarily meant for power users, technicians, and
administrators, it is quite safe to use even without technical guidance
(although guidance is recommended). Simply choose the solutions you wish to
apply via checkmarks, and click GO. There are other buttons and tools
present on the main dialog as well, such as the policy scanner. All tools
and checkmarks identify their purpose when you mouse over them.

DAF's primary philosophy is to fix problems by setting various things back
to their original Microsoft defaults. DAF currently does not interface with
or repair any third party programs (and there are no plans to do so).

DAF works on all pertinent 32-bit versions of Windows: 98, 98SE, Me, 2000,
XP, and Server 2003. Dial-a-fix dynamically disables functions that are not
applicable to your version of Windows. The version of Windows with the most
support and functionality is currently Windows XP.

Good luck!!

Yes, I saved it as whatever.bat and rebooted. Added it to my desktop,
clicked it to open it and the command screen flashed on and off for
about 1/2 sec. couldn't read what it said it was so fast. went to
microsoft updates, downloaded then tried to install but everything
failed again.

Hello Clark,
I tried your cut/paste thing and then did what Wootzie did but still
can't install updates.
Wazup ?
Did something get deleted somehow from the files or registery?
I checked the running services and the automatic updates are on.

and you ran it as a .bat file and restarted Windows?

Yknow, Clark, sometimes I can be REALLY dense! I wish I knew how
to delete my last post. I'd replace it with: THANKS!!!

BEFORE, according to Windows Update, I had 88 Critical Updates.
They took more than five minutes to download them all, and less
than five seconds for all 88 installations to fail,
simultaneously.

AFTER figuring out how to use your information, it took FOREVER to
download all 88 Critical Updates, and it took FOREVER for them to
install, but THEY INSTALLED!!! All but one, the Microsoft .NET
Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1, and I've been having trouble with
this one for a couple of weeks. Several of them, in fact.

When a download or installation fails from Windows Update, you can
get free help. Those people have been trying to help with several
weeks now, and some of their advice has been helpful, but
time-consuming and often confusing for people like me. Searching
databases and online discussions for advice has also been mostly
futile. Your advice, Clark, was bang-on!

The person helping me with the MS .NET issue has got my problem
narrowed down to a probably corrupt MS .NET 2.0
download/installation. I have yet to finish following their
removal and manual download instructions, but I'm fairly
confident their advice will help. (At least, I certainly hope
so!)

I don't know how or why a file corrupts, or how or why a Windows
Update fails to work properly. I wish there was an
auto-scan/auto-repair for IE7, etc. for those of us who are
severely technically challenged. I often get lost in searches
for advice.

I stumbled upon your advice, Clark, and I wish I'd found it long
ago!

People with update installation problems: DON'T BE AFRAID TO TRY
CLARK'S ADVICE...IT WORKS!!! Personally, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

Clark, you can be my IT guy any day! Thank-you for helping me
out!

NOTE TO technologically challenged people (like me):

When I saved Clark's code in Notepad, I fully expected it to be a
read-me type of file; hence, what next?
I saved it to my Desktop; opening it caused the code to execute,
and VOILA, no more problem! I went back to Windows Update, and
everything went off without a hitch!
