On my laptop I try to use Microsoft update to install updates, using IE.
Any update I try to install fails.
I have tried deleteing the SoftwareDistribution folder but did not help.
I have seen that the update gets downloaded but fails to install.
After it fails the software just shows a fail screen but without an error
code or explanation.
Also in the update history the Failure does not appear. Sonow that I have
deleted softwareDistribution the update hostory is blank and there is no
entry appeariong for the latest attempts.
Automatic updates seem to work, but I never see the update Icon on the
bottom Right.
I Only got to do the updates using the Install updates and shutdown during
the shutdown process.
I cannot install the non critical updates. (since the don't get
automatically installed).
This problem first appeared after a long time of inactivity (and offline use
of the laptop).
When I first tried to update it it was trying top install an Genuine
advantage validation tool or something like that (I don't remember the exact
title).
The something that happens now happend then too!
So I downloaded it manually from microsoft downloads and installed manually.
That did not help as still no others updates could get through.
As I had a network install SP3 from XP I installed that hopping that since
it installs a lot of updates it might fix microsoft update as well.
That went fine so now the system is Windows XP Pro SP3.
But newer updates do not install manually.
I used (as i said before) Automatic Updates, through my companies WSUS to
install most updates from VStudio and Windows and IE, but that leaves some
updates out Windows Search 4.0 and some drivers specific to the system.
These updates fail consistently with the symptoms I have described in the
start.
Please note that Ia have tried witgh both my own account which is an
administrator of the machine and also with the local administrator with no
difference.
Before I validated that the download is OK i thought that bits might be to
blame and did all repair options I found for bits but that did not help
(obviously the problem is not with BITS).
can anyone suggest some solution?
