RE: All updates after 17 Aug. 07 Not installing

Hi alleyoop,

I am out of answers. Sorry I couldn't help
I'd recommend resubmitting your post here:

Help and Support
http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx?rdpath=1&gprid=9860

OR

I'd recommend calling 1-866-pcsafety if you are in the U.S. or Canada.

Elsewhere, call your local Microsoft subsidiary, or the number for paid
support in your locale--and ask for the free help with virus or
security-patch related issues.

This help extends to spyware removal as well.

Other than that, I'm about out of ideas, so good luck with it.

Let us know maybe someone else can conjure up something else to try.

Hi Engel,
I ran dial-a-fix.exe in both the "windows mode" and "safe mode". Dial-a-fix
did not seem to find any problems at all even though I had every box on the
page ticked off. I still can not install the 6 mentioned windows updates.
This is tough problem.
Any other suggestions.

Hi Engel,
I took your advice and all six updates failed to install.
I thought the firewall was there to protect you from the internet..........
Anyone else have any solutions?

Hello alleyoop,

Try this

Turn off your firewall and go to Windows Update, select Express (Get
high-priority updates), and apply all offered updates
http://update.microsoft.com

I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut.

After dozens of attempts to install the following updates:

KB934180 Error Code 0x80070643
KB934181 Error Code 0x80070643
I contacted MS Help and Support. Needless to say they were slow in
responding and the help they offered was useless. Can someone help me with
this problem. I am running Windows XP and Norton's 360. I had no problem
installing previous updates.

I just found that any and all updates downloaded after 17 Aug. 07 have not
installed, everytime I restart the PC it takes longer because they try to
install, but never an error message. Today I try update manual and find the
updates already downloaded but failed to install then I get a error message,
and see the history of failed installs. error 0x80070017 Is this the
famouse WGA?. The current OS install I am using is OEM disk and MS updates
only. It is not trash or junk and has worked and updated before without
problems, then this starts. I hope they don't say something stuped like
reinstall because I will blow up big time. I have done that Five or six
times for MS after Feb 07 and I am sick of it. They don't have to waste
their time I do.
