Windows version? What update(s) is throwing this error?
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional x64 Edition
Version 2003
Service Pack 2
27 updates failed to install all with the same error code when
I click on the question mark next to each failed update.
During shutdown it says updates being installed, don't switch
off, the PC will switch itself off automatically.
It switches off, but next restart Windows Update finds
the same updates, goes through the same failure
routine, and it's as it was before, 27 failed updates.
Surely MS is capable of diagnosing these problems,
and why on earth do we have this busy group,
and nothing seems to get fixed?
Surely this group is itself an admission of failure,
we can't fix things.
