I have a brand new machine, installed XP Pro that included SP 2 and
immediately updated to SP 3. I then installed Office 2007, an antivirus
package and printer drivers and and then went back to Microsoft Update
expecting to install Office 2007 SP1, and any other needed update since SP 3.
Every time I try to update I get a failure message, with no real indicators
of what is wrong. The following fail to update:

Security Update for CAPICOM (KB931906)
2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Security Update for Windows XP with Windows Media Format Runtime 9.5 and 11
(KB941569)
Security Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 (KB946983)
Security Update for the 2007 Microsoft Office System (KB947801)
Security Update for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (KB946974)
Update for the 2007 Microsoft Office System (KB946691)
Security Update for Microsoft Office Visio 2007 (KB947590)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB928365)
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
Security Update for Microsoft Office Publisher 2007 (KB950114)
Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Junk Email Filter (KB950378)
Security Update for Microsoft Office Word 2007 (KB950113)
Security Update for Microsoft Office system 2007 (KB951808)

This machine has been running for two days now and I need to finish making
this machine available to my in-house end user. Any thoughts as to what to
try?


See if the information in this articles helps. While it refers to a repair
installation, recent posts in these newsgroups indicate that it may apply to
clean installations as well.

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP installation
