Re: Defender Update v.1.37.1.0 failed Vista Ult 32

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



No Ult came with SP1 and the Def update internal failed miserably but the
second try using the direct download worked but it still gave me one more
BSoD, but it wasnt that bad. The main thing is that although both places are
offering the same version, the implementation or installation thru the
internal updater in defender must behave differently in some
not-so-publicized way. why not just make things that work BEFORE you release
to media? thanks yet again, Micro$oft!!! This thread may now be
locked/closed. Thank you those of you who replied including myself. lol.

Did you install Vista SP1 via Windows Update or manually?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were any of these applications running in the background when you
installed Vista SP1?

As of this post, both Windows Update and the Security Portal are currently
offering definitions v1.37.1.0.

All attemps to install the latest version of definitions fail for

update 1.37.1.0 both from Windows Update and the direct download from
the
portal site. Error details:

Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.37.1.0)

Installation date: ‎6/‎25/‎2008 7:42 PM

Installation status: Failed

Error details: Code 800706BE
<error details truncated>

It also gives me a BSoD upon shutdown since the failed installation
refuses
to die and forces shutdown and after hanging at shutdown get BSoD. Will
have to write the 0x0** codes next time if it happens again (I have to
restart again after another failed installation). Thanks again
Micro$oft.
