Re: Unable to update Win XP Home to SP2



there is free technical support
from a certified microsoft technician
for issues with updates.

the info to open a ticket can
be found via the microsoft update
website.

Unfortunately, the link has never
been in big bold and flashing words so
look around for it a bit carefully

hope this helps, if not let me know..

Hi,

I'm running windows xp home edition currently with SP1 and when trying to
update to Windows XP Sp2 via the windows update site it advised that there
were various downloads I needed to install to use the update site but when
trying to install these it fails on them all the first two are:
Update for windows xp (KB898461)
Update for background Intelligent transfer service BITS 2.0 (KB42773) in
the
status windows both have errors code ox8007f0e9 and if I search for these
kb
installs and try and install them that way I get the error "The
updatebr.inf
file is invalid.

I have obtained SP2 on CD and tried from there and get the same error.

I also tried article KB193385 - Problems when viewing or downloading from
Windows Update, but that fails when the article asks me to navigate to the
windows update folder in program files as it does not exist.


Any help would be really appreciated


Thanks in advance


Cheers Tom
