Hi,

I use XP-Pro + SP2.

While trying to update OS, it constantly fail to complete the installation.
The process always stops at the same point: during the generation of
restore point.
The failure message is as the follows: Fail to install catalog files. The
Events Viewer presents the combination of these two identifiers: KB936929
and error code 0x8007f01e.

Can someone help with this error ?
Happy New Year
