Currently running build 5608 on 10.5.3. When I shut down Windows, the updates that have downloaded automatically appear to begin installation (1 of 7), but never gets past 1 before shutting down. It appears that they are not installing as this happens every time I exit Windows. Have searched the forums and googled as well, but can't find a resolution. This is happening on two Macbook Pros in our office (same issue on both).
Do you mean you downloaded update from Microsoft and it fails to install, I mean download executable from Microsoft and install
I mean that I go to update.microsoft.com and run the updates manually. it downloads them, but the actual install fails.
Something wrong with Windows, Check for viruses, , perform VM backup as described Parallels Desktop for Mac user guide from http://www.parallels.com/en/download/file/doc/Parallels_Desktop_for_Mac_User_Guide.pdf on page 243 than Windows repair
Not a virus - it's happening on two separate Macbook Pros - the exact some scenario. The other mac is running anti-virus and it is clean. But thanks for taking a guess.
I am having the same problem on build 5608 on 10.5.4. Fresh install of XP SP2. I had no problem installing the SP3 update. All updates required after the SP3 install download successfully, then fail when they try to install.
Does anyone have a solution? I am having the same problem described above with the same build (5608) and Windows XP after installing SP3. Updates will download but will not install. Does anyone have a solution?
More testing results I've done some more testing with about 5 different machines. It seems that after SP3, Windows Update shows that new update files are downloaded and ready to install when in fact they are not. If I find each update on the microsoft website, download and install individually everything works fine. I had the same results on all 5 machines. I believe this is a Microsoft issue and not a Parallels issue, although I don't actually own a non-Mac machine. Hope this helps.
Same issue here... I can confirm I'm having the same issue with XP in build 5608, having installed SP3 yesterday. As far as I can tell it's not affected by AV or network settings. Can we confirm whether it's a Windows issue rather than a Parallels one? Rob
