I am unable to install the new Windows Update installer - and hence any
Windows Update files. I am on Win2K SP4 and accessing the Internet via a
WiFi card and router.

I get the following message. There is no entry in Update History.

Failed Updates
For help installing an update successfully, see the solution under each
problem description.
Problem: Please check your update history for a description.
