Re: Or have they? What does the cryptic "installer error = False"

Restarting let it try to install 17 more security updates, of which

Security Update for Office XP (KB920821)
Security Update for Office XP (KB934705)
Security Update for Office XP (KB920816)
Security Update for SharePoint Team Services (KB911701)
Update for Office XP (KB913471)
Security Update for Publisher 2002 (KB894541)
Security Update for Office XP (KB914796)

didn't install. And they didn't install on restarting and trying again
either

See Critical Updates Info June 12th. You can view the Message links
regarding affected software.
http://support.microsoft.com/KB/894199

You might try the following:

Start>Run>Type in net.exe stop wuauserv
Press Ok
You should receive success message. Do the same for each entry below:

regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 atl.dll

net.exe start wuauserv

(Many thanks but: Going through the above procedure resulted in the same
error message I mentioned above)
If none of the above works,

Now it seems there was an erroneous error message: When the message
appeared
in the taskbar saying 'click here to install downloaded updates', what it
meant was 'there is a window we have opened in the background which
requests
Office Professional Install Disc to complete, then we will get on with
ACTUALLY installing these updates'

When I put Office Professional Install Disc in, all updates installed,
supposedly successfully, and it called for a reboot.

Now the log shows five similar logs (one for each of the updates):

Uninstalling told me that Adaware and some VoIP service (with both of
which I was having the problem) wont work properly if I uninstall them:
So
I uninstalled anyway and rebooted and ran MicrosoftUpdate which found
KB933566 (a cumulative one), 935839, 935840 and some updates for OE and
something called CAPICOM after it went through yet another annoying and
annoyingly slow validation process. Then it downloaded 62 megabytes of
updates and immediately I clicked on INSTALL, gave me the error message
without even trying to install them that they were unable to be
successfully installed

Is this now time for AutoPatcher or is there a way of installing them?
Through Safe Mode from the downloaded directories?

(The computer has also become slow as moving molasses even to paint its
icons on startup and even on clicking START-PROGRAMS, - though this
may
be unrelated: I have tried Adaware, AV, SFC and defrags but nothing
seems
to make any difference to this)

Scroll down to TaurArian's post (9-1-2006) regarding the same error.


Oh I see: I didnt realise it was an error, I thought it meant that
the
update(s) coudnt take UNTIL reboot but would do so then. I am used to
seeing an error message when it does the update telling me that '5
updates were unable to be successfully installed' which is
apparently
Redmond-syntax for what you suggest: I didnt get any of these (or any
of
the error messages she received just before the one I got which she
found in her log), simply a message telling me to restart.

I will give uninstalling the updates a try
(Two of them werent there at all!)
or re-run MicrosoftUpdate but are
these 13th June updates SUPPOSED TO have anything to do with the
sound
system?
(all the others said that removing them would have an effect on the
VoIP
program whose sound system doesnt now work)

"apparently the updates did not complete installation upon reboot".

Check you Windows Update Log. Post back the KBs as well as any
error
messages that may have occurred.
Click Start, click Run, type %windir%\windowsupdate.log

Scroll to the bottom for recent updates.

This problem seems to have arisen since my last Windows Update
on
my XP
Home
installation: Before then, ActiveSync 4.5 was working properly
on
my
computer. In fact I installed it only a short time ago to get
the
computer
to recognise my PDA which it did immediately

Now the Wizard is reporting that it cannot connect to the
computer
as
ActiveSync 4.5 isn't installed: However, while I am typing this
I
am
going
to Windows Explorer to see if I can tell you that the Wizard is
recognised
and I can access it through Explorer, meaning that the drivers
in
ActiveSync
are in fact installed

As soon as I try to access the device, the whole problem
disappears
(as
does
the error message on the device) and ActiveSync suddenly starts
working.

Something in some recent Windows Update has compromised
ActiveSync.
I
suppose I should now go out and check on the site whether there
is
a new
version of Active Sync out there? If there isn't, they might
take
note of
this problem and try to cure it by figuring out what they have
done
to
cause
it. (It isn't easy to figure out if this is a temporary glitch
or
if
some
update has screwed up something at this stage)

I should also add on a separate point that the newest Windows
Updates
have
screwed up my sound settings which were working perfectly before
the
restart
necessitated by the critical updates: No sounds now work on the
computer.
As
an example of this, when I click the simple volume control in
the
taskbar, I
get some arcane error message suddenly telling me that there are
no
active
mixer devices available. It then pretends that if I go to
Control
Panel I
should be able to click printers and other hardware, (WRONG:
There
is no
sound functionality in PRINTERS in control panel) and install
the
mixer
devices. When I did this, all I got was some endless list of
devices
including lots of sound devices, codecs, sound hardware devices
(etc)
which
I think ARE installed and a question as to what I want to
install.

Is any reasonable Windows user supposed to be able to do
whatever
is
necessary to get his sound system working again by following
this
procedure?

Lastly I thought that critical updates were critical? Aren't
they
supposed
to be applied immediately Microsoft has discovered that someone
has
compromised the OS? Why then are there no updates for weeks
when
auto-update is turned on and then suddenly a notification
appears
in the
systray telling me to install the critical updates which have
been
downloaded and coincidentally there are five of them at once?
Making it
difficult to ascertain which one (for example) has screwed up
the
sound
system
