Re: Unable to install KB905474

FWIW, in my case, the failure to install is not malware related. The machine
is scrupulously clean. No rootkits, no nothing.

Antivirus being on or off is not involved. I know this because I have
performed the update installation on several PCs and they have the same AV on
them as the one that failed. And the AV was not turned off on any of them.

The WGA Notification tool IS the issue. When PCs can pass the WGADiag2.exe
Genuine XP test but fail the installation of this new tool, it's the tool,
not the PC. (FWIW, these Windows Update WGA tools are the only failed Windows
Updates I have ever had.)

RUBBISH THAT DOESN'T WORK.

Um, it worked on all three of my computers. I suspect your machine isn't
clean; you didn't disable your anti virus auto scan before installing
the update and/or you have beasties on your machine.

On the WU Website, select your history of updates - now click on failed update
(red mark) and see if there is an error code.
If there is an error code, write it down and post back or in the alternative, do
a search for the error code.
