Well, I think you could have reduced it by trying only one update at a time? ;)
Normally you could have further reduced it by limiting the test to just a download
(e.g. using the prompts) but I don't think you are getting that far.

BTW keep 823353 for last as it has its own problems... <eg>
(e.g. see many other threads about OE6sp1 updates)

Yes. Unfortunately verbose is doing nothing to clarify this portion:

I think you are only going to be able to get a handle on this with RegMon.
It looks as if you may be able to get away with a fairly restrictive filter
(e.g. all entries for wuauclt.exe) so you probably don't need to run
a concurrent FileMon in order to find an appropriate context within
the RegMon trace, though I think it could make the analysis much easier.
Certainly the timestamps in these log records are going to be useless for
telling you when the error was first detected.


> The rest....don't understand.....

Well, I have some ideas but as I said I think you should try
limiting the test to a download *only* of one update *only*.
Trying to do too much at once just makes it harder to figure
out what isn't happening.


As for RegMon it's really pretty simple to use. Just download it
from SysInternals, install it and start it when you want to trace.
It always prompts you for an Include filter before starting.
As I said I think that wuauclt would be sufficient for this case.
If you want to use FileMon, same thing and the filter will be
WindowsUpdate.log Don't forget to check the Clock Time
and Milleseconds options on both. To capture their output
just select all records with a normal Windows keyboard
procedure such as Home, Shift-End,Ctrl-c (actually, I guess
if the selected line is already at the bottom that Shift-Home,
Ctrl-c would be more efficient <w>).
