Windows 7 on my recent build just for music enjoyment - I would like the courtesy of receiving a solution to this issue.
Leave out the fixes for the fixes. You should know what we need. Try to do it in time for Christmas - it will do a lot for Microsoft's image. Have a Good Thanksgiving to all! This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. Hi Joseph, Please do the following. Checkmark the bottom option to disable automatic updates. If it does, do the following. Maybe the reason that we all have this problem is because we all used the same update packs that included installer 4. By observing the network icon in the system tray, nothing much is happening; it flashes briefly just once or twice every minute.
I haven't used any special tool to monitor traffic, though. Incidentally, I seem to have fixed it on the PC at hand. I let Microsoft Update search for updates once again, and then inspected WindowsUpdate. After rebooting the machine, Microsoft Update gave me the list of updates to install in less than a minute. It's now installing update 57 of One problem: on attempting to install the May cumulative rollup for.
Net Framework 3. This causes the SoftwareDistribution folder to become corrupt once again. Luckily, the same fix delete entire SoftwareDistribution folder fixes it. According to an entry in Event Viewer, the update doesn't apply to my PC.
But why would it have to trigger an automatic reboot? This sounds like the HDD is getting reset before all data is written. You might want to disable write caching when doing these updates. I was able to delete windows installer 4. I'll let you know.
I am curious about. Microsoft update forced me to install msiexec. I have the solution. I figured out how to fix it. This only solves the problem with XP and office With the compatibility pack. This does not fix other installs. There is an Actual update order. I know it sounds totally ridiculous but its true.
The problem is not the compatibility pack. It is the compatibility pack SP3. Uninstall Office Compatibility pack sp3. SP3 should be below the compatibility pack when you view all updates. Run windows update and reapply the some of the patches patches you installed in step 4.
It's not all. Install clean Office with clean SP3. I haven't tested Hotfix integration into the source. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.

Apparently, each time MS releases new updates for this patch usually in the first two weeks of each month , something is also changed in the update process on the Windows update site so that the previous month's culmulative patch is no longer 'syncronous' for lack of a better term with the current Windows Update Page routine.
I learned this the hard way, but this is the ticket why so many failed when using the KB version cited in this thread--they had already expired. Locate and install the updated Windows Update Installer Agent installer, of which there is only one version.
Do a search for this file: windowsupdateagentx Download and install it. You'll be surprized how quick it is too!
You can go back to the WU site and get the rest. No more problems. This is not to say that the customer will subsequently install something else or otherwise mess with the settings that will screw up the update process, but if all related system elements stay clean, automatic updates will work as they should from then on. Tell employees that to remove it will result in at least three Biblical plagues that will inflict them and their descendents for uncounted generations.
The KB number you'll see in these posts is likely already defunct when you encounter it. As of this writing, the current one is KB from I believe December It's about to change again almost any day now.
Every time. I cannot say if this will work for everyone, nor can I say if it will work after some of the other suggestions have been executed and the OS is messed with. I can only tell you that it's working flawlessly, time after time, machine after machine in assembly line fashion.
Simple, quick, uniform. Just the way warwagon, myself, and those like us need. Praise the Lord. What happened to the "best answer" on the front page? Would have saved this guy from an essay assignment. Sorry but there are 3 official versions of WUA from whenever I started keeping track. There's probably many more versions before that.
The ones I know about are.. I think you're confusing the issue. So what if there may have been others in the past? All cars used to drive on bias ply tires too, Microsoft currently has only one version as a standalone download, and that version WORKS. The ONLY ONE that is currently available from MS for a standalone download gets the job done, and so from a practical perspective, my statement was absolutely correct in that this is the only one available from MS for download, my point being that the person does not have to worry about different versions to get the job done as they do with the IE8 culmulative update version I was trying to make the solution the least confusing as possible.
That's all the tech needs to get the job done. That's what warwagon, myself and other professionals are seeking. I looked at your site, and it appears fabulous to me with LOTS of good stuff.
And sometimes there's a real need for this kind of deeper esoterica of compiling scripts, expired certificates or reviewing source code. But here, your attempt to label my statement as wrong a disagreement from a practical perspective for which any ensuing debate will have absolutely no practical relevance to the theme problem of this thread or its solution and then use that as a launching pad to promote the impressiveness of your own site and work is essentially moot.
Yes, I agree that if someone said that the only car tires that exist are radials would be technically incorrect, but from a practical view, it would be completely correct to say radials are the only tires they need to be concerned with. The problem is that there's a subliminal inference that because there exists other version numbers of the file in question, that somehow the solution I offerred may not work right.
That does the readers who are looking for answers in here an injustice. Rest assured folks that the existing files that anyone anywhere can currently obtain directly from the MS site with very little technical prowess are all that is needed to get the job done easily and consistently. That's what most of us who have come here to study this thread are really looking for. If you follow the steps I laid out, it will get you where you need to go. A highly sophisticated robot is a thing of wonder and beauty, but you don't need to build one when a screwdriver will do the job, at least not in this instance.
I'll need to carve out time to check your site out more thoroughly. It looks to have very interesting and useful content. This is the scenerio I'm addressing:. My elderly Aunt Mary has a question for the guy with the 8" floppy,how does he bypass the activation stage prior to accesssing the updates? Please let dear old Aunt Mary know that you don't need to. You don't even need to use the IE browser.
Activation has nothing to do with the theme issue of this thread. If you are installing from a manufacturer's Windows branded re-install CD or recovery CD s specifically for that computer, or running the built-in recovery routine in the hard drive, the Windows installation will be 'pre-activated'.
This step is unnecessary with a brand new drive. These should be on the original mobo disk if it was a custom build or a branded computer with an off-the-shelf mobo replacement, or having downloaded them from the computer manufacturer's site drivers can be a whole other bag that would be the subject of a different thread.
If you only had an original version disk, you'll have to install SP1 or 2 first before SP3. Follw the instructions in the activation wizard. Now, if by your question you were referring to how someone might bypass the activation process or circumvent the WGA so that they can successfully run a bootleg or 'illegal' copy of XP, then forgive me for misunderstanding you.
But in that case, I'm not the person to ask.
