Hi I am on the beta release and am trying to install a number of critical patches that I have missed. However everytime I run Windows update it comes back with a FAIL agaist them all? Anyone have any clues as to what the problem could be? Cheers. Robin
Very strange. Tried to run these updates 3 times last night at home and failed every time. Just tried in the office this morning and worked first time!!!!!! Microsoft............. Robin
What was the fail message? At what point in the update does it fail? For instance, maybe it cannot get an internet connection? Also, are you saying that SAME MACHINE failed at home, and worked at the office? That smells like a connection problem, assuming the update was not already on your machine.
Hi Yes it was the same machine and no it did not have a connection problem. I know this because it DID download and install 2 of 13 updates fine!!!!!!! It ws at the download stage I THINK that they failed but I cannot remember for sure. Robin
Get failed updates on Win2k as well All 11 or 13 of the updates report as failed no matter how many times I try it. For the longest time the windows taskbar helper would report that either I need to reboot or that updates were installed after a reboot, and this happened every time. I'm not sure what is up with it.
On the Windows update site, if you don't allow them to install the 'Geniune Advantage' spyware then it will fail (did for me anyway). I allowed the first one and have been blocking any more 'advantages' since then and it seems to have fixed the problem.
