Vista 32 bit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=D8F9D963-5D01-411F-BBA2-B57FE0D4204C&displaylang=en

After the downloads are completed close the browser and any other open programs.
Install Windows6.0-KB940520-x86.exe first, restart if requested to.
Then install Windows6.0-KB939159-x86.msu.

Redownload KB938979 once more and SAVE it:

When the download completes close the browser, *right* click Windows6.0-KB938979-x86.msu and choose ' Run as administrator '.
Enter a password if one has been created and follow the prompts.
Restart after it installs.

STRONGLY advise you to temporarily DISABLE the installed antivirus program prior to installing KB938979. Please consult the Help file or the manufacturer's web site to learn how to acoomplish this.
You may want to disconnect the system from the internet/network while the AV is disabled.

REMEMBER to reenable the AV after installing the update.

Is the Software Licensing Service disabled ? If so, reenable it by setting the Startup type to Automatic.



Thanks for your reply.

The mentioned service was already enabled and is set to "automatic".

Unfortunatly, so what should I try next?
