Re: KB923191 will not install

Jerry,

What does the KB923191.log show in %windir% (the WINDOWS directory)?
See if there are any error messages present in that log.
You said - " Downloaded KB923191 as a standalone "
Was this from the MS Download Center or via WU ?
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=235bca55-8d43-4eaf-8970-a55bc3165e3d
Download it from the above link, save it, and then close IE or whichever browser is used.
Then try to install it.

Went to WindowsUpdate and downloaded ALL updates on 10 Oct - all install ok except KB923191.

Downloaded KB923191 as a standalone - program starts, inspects, creates restore point then gives error message: KB923191 Setup error - Failed to install catalog files.

Tried Safe Mode - same problem and error message.

Opened System Restore - a restore point had been created.

Opened Explorer - \$NtUninstallKB923191$ folder had been created with subfolder \spuninst and file spuninst.inf in this folder.

No \KB923191 folder had been created under \$hf_mig$

No listing in Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.

WindowsUpdate still listed this as required.

Belarc Advisor listed update as missing/required.

Any ideas as to what's going on?

Thanks.
Jerry
