Re: Problem installing KB901214



0x80070003 = COR_E_DIRECTORYNOTFOUND
The specified path couldn't be found - ALLUSERSPROFILE Microsoft network dir doesn’t exist

Make sure the following folders exist under %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\
Note: (%windir% = C:\Windows)

DataStore\
Download\
EventCache\
SelfUpdate\
WebSetup\
WuRedir\


Some have had success with clearing the contents of the Datastore and Download folders. http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5consumer/showarticle.aspx?articleid=11&ln=en

If the above doesn’t assist, suggestion by Torgeir Bakken (MVP)

If the directory "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network"
does not exist, you will get this error.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE% is normally "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users"

To verify existence/create this folder, you can do like this:

Press Start/Run, and fill in this:

"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft"

Press OK, and the Microsoft folder will open.

If no Network folder is found there, create it (File\New --> Folder).

Failed to install this latest update. XP SP2. Error 0x80070003. Looks as
if there may have been a problem a few hours ago with KB912919. My last .log
file in the Windows directory is for KB912919 and says: KB912919 installation
did not complete.
1.109: Update.exe extended error code = 0xf201.
