Disclaimer first. I have not used scedit, and today's update went thru fine with usual process.
Recheck your typing in the command prompt. You would use
C:\Windows

Hi I have xp pro and have tried this and it didn't work for me. It
opened a help box with data on secedit but that was it. I checked the
command line carefully and don't think I made a mistake. I substitued
/C:Windows for the %winddir% was that correct?

Thanks

Many users have the same problem I had today, when tried to install
KB892130 from windowsupdate. It cannot be installed and returns
0x80070005 errors. No need to say that as usual, I didn't found any
useful information in MS knowledgebase (...)

I tried to install it manually getting cab contents in a temp folder
and running update.exe. After restore point creation, installation
failed with an 'Access denied' error message. I thought that
something is wrong with security and access levels of my system
folders and files.

Anyway, if you have the same problem, try the following steps.

1. Boot in safe mode
2. Login as administrator
3. Open command prompt (Start - Run - cmd.exe)
4. In command prompt enter next command (omit quotes): secedit
/configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb
/verbose
5. If it fails on 3-4 percent, reboot in safe bode and try a second
time. When it finish (100%) ignore any error message and reboot your
computer.
6. Login as usual, clean IE hostory, cookies, temp files and go to
Windows update

This time KB892130 will install successfully.

Good luck,
