Re: Updates fail

I downloaded them all manually one by one. Those which wouldn't work had the
following error message:
update\update.exe is not valid Win32 application. 12 of the 87 updates were
not downloadable. When I had finished all my downloads manually, I restarted
the PC and when it had rebooted, would you believe it did download the error
message ones. So so far so good. But I do not understand why this happened.
FYI the 12 error message updates are:
Security Update for Windows XP (KB944653)
(KB935839)
(K943485)
KB935840
KB920213
KB932168
KB917344 (NOT ENGLISH)
KB925902
KB911564
KB941644
KB924667
KB928255

What error number are you getting?

1]Click Start, click All Programs, and then click Windows Update or
Microsoft Update.

2]On the Windows Update Web site or on the Microsoft Update Web site,
click Review your update history. A window opens that shows all the
updates that have been installed or that have failed to install on the
computer.

3]In the Status column of this window, locate the update that failed to
install, and then click the red X.

A new window opens that displays the installation error code.

4]Note the error number.
