the updates may have already downloaded into the softwaredistribution/download folder
that's why they are 0 in size.
You may need to view the WU log to see why they are not installing -
How to view the Update log in Windows:-
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type: %windir%\windowsupdate.log
and then click OK.
Scroll down towards the bottom for the latest entries to locate the error code(s)
associated with the latest failed attempt to download/install. If appropriate copy and
paste the error codes into this thread so someone may be able to assist you. On the other
hand, you may be able to find the error code and other suggestions by searching the
Newsgroup.
Also check Windows folder for file called KB******.log (****** = number of update ie
KB896688) and post the contents of the failed update.
This may provide further clues as to why the update failed.
How to read the Windowsupdate.log file:

|
| After it fails, I go into my history. Nothing is there except for "windows
