Re: Unable to install KB905474

"adtilley" the problems you refer to are to do with the update installing and
then suggesting that the user has a pirated copy.

Quote - "I do have a genuine copy of XP Prof but since running the latest auto
updates
it is now saying I have a pirate copy, does anyone know how I can fix this ???"

In this particular case, the OP said the update failed to install, which is
different thing entirely. Updates may fail to install for many reasons, that is
why I requested further information.

Quote - "This "genuine" validation tool will not install. Error msg: "Updates
were
unable to be successfully installed". Web site validation runs successfully.
Disabled anti-virus - same problem."

"adtilley" if you wish to make a complaint, I suggest you contact MS directly
yourself.

Have a good evening/day.
