Hi Shenan Stanley.
I am having the same problem with the error code coming up everytime i try
to download MSN messenger live, and after searching everywhere I could think
of on the net... ( a couple of hours) I have finally found some advice which
provides a plausable solution!... (you're advice :-))
I did everything that you said, step by step however the error message is
still showing??? However, I didnt understand the bit where you wrote about
the command line switch "wuforce"???
Could you please offer some advice?
VERY FRUSTRATED!

I have been trying to do updates for months now, thinking it was
just a problem within Microsoft windows. I still can't install,
don't have a clue as to what that error code means. Does anyone
know or can you tell me how to find out what that error code
means??? I'd be extremely grateful for anyones help on this
matter...

Well gee thanks Shenan, that was about as helpful as a cut finger
in a glass of vinegar! I'm having the same problem as Hinkywil and
your smart response directing us to a link explaining how to ask
questions the smart way was, well, simply pathetic. Did it not
occur to you that Hinkywil and people of a similar frustration need
help and not some smart geek telling us how stupid we are. It's bad
enough Microsoft not making matters easier by introducing these
issues without people like you adding to the frustration!
Does anyone have a suitable and acceptable answer to this annoying
issue with Microsoft update?

First off - that is always my signature - never changes. Has been
for two+ years. If you took offense to it - it was for lack of
research on your part and knowing that is *not* directed at anyone
in particular - but is left there as a general reference - always
in my signature.
If you had actually took what I said and searched for Hinkywil's
other posting you would have not only seen that my signature was
the same in the other answer - but that there was a suggested
procedure to follow to help resolve their issue (assuming they were
usiing Windows XP - like you there has been no information of
substance given to resolve a problem that only the poster sees.) I
told the responder to see my response to their other (identical)
question as they must have mistakenly posted it twice and I saw no
need to answer it twice - they could just see the message they
posted earlier about the same issue and the associated answers. I
am sorry you did not take that advice and decided to take out your
frustrations on me.
For *your* benefit - here is what I asked/told them:
Operating system in question?
Updates in question?
What have you 'tried'?
Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix
Use its options to fix:
- Windows Installer
- Windows Update
- All the Registration Center options.
Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".
Then click "GO" and wait until it is done... Reboot will be needed.
- Download/Install Windows Update v3.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=889482fc-5f56-4a38-b838-de776fd4138c&DisplayLang=en
(You *will* need to install it using the command line switch
"/wuforce" right
after the reboot - immediately after logging in.)
- Download/Install the 927891 patch.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A
- Reboot.
- Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan for/install
updates.
- Come back and let us know how things went!

In which case I sincerely apologise.
My frustration clearly caused a narrow focus and I'd not understood
the first line of your response.
I've experienced too many pointless and superior responses to
questions in the past, having clearly explained the particular
problem, and have grown tired of knowledgeable people putting down
the less knowlegeable.
I'm grateful you don't simply ignore my purile response and
repeated your previous advice to Hinkywil which, I'm glad to say,
has solved my problem.

I am gload the solution worked for you. Hope your computer and yourself
stay healthy - for the former, you can always come here and ask for help.
