Re: KB918899 fails to install

Sorry, used a different ID on that post

I've been trying to update an XP system. All the other updates downloaded
and installed, except the cumalative security update KB918899 fails each
time i try to update it. I was using the WU sight to update. I then
downloaded the update file and tried running it. Seemed to be installing,
then at the end it says setup canceled. I am the Admin on the systen and
was in the admin account. Anyone else have this problem or maybe have
some
insight to whats going on? TIA

Try installing it manually in Safe Mode.

To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include all of
previous message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. I have no idea
what this thread is about or what you've tried previously.

Thank you.
