Cannot install Silverlight (KB2690729) on my Windows XP machine. Suggestions?

As in the title of the post, cannot install the update of Silverlight on my windows machine.  Any suggestions?

Hi takajo,.

·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

·         You get the error message?

·         You are able to install other updates successfully?

Follow these methods.

Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • How to install Silverlight 32 bit in Windows 7?

    Original title: 32 bit Win 7 reports such as 64-bit

    I have an old 32-bit that was running XP.  Due to the end of LIFE, I have installed Windows 7 Enterprise. A ran professional DriverGenius to replace pilots (Powerspec does not support a v220 more, it seems). And then installed all the stuff from Adobe updates, Java, Microsoft, Firefox, Chrome. Everything seemed fine, but I need Silverlight. It is automatically uploaded to a 64-bit version, but refused to install because it was not 32-bit. System icon now reports the system in 32-bit. It is not.

    He broke. How can I fix it?

    I should have mentioned earlier, the reason that has not installed Silverlight, it's that I had installed IE 10. When I rebuilt, I installed IE 9 and Silverlight is now installed and works very well.

    I finally found the system information (directions are not quite right), and everything said 64.

    I still think I ran 32-bit XP for the last 5 years. I know that the Win7 disc is marked for 32-bit.

    But it has been updated and works fine now as a 64-bit system.

    As for the diplomacy of my teaching, it's more having been in IT support (probably around the time that your parents were in high school).

    Thank you all for your help and your quick response.

  • Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

    Hello

    I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

    Thank you

  • Cannot install the update system for Windows 7 tool

    After downloading the installer from Windows 7 64 (October 2014) to "Update the tool of the system", I tried to install the program. However, "Windows Update Standalone Installer" allows you to "search for updates on this computer... "and the status bar continues to streak, but after several hours, no progress has been filed. A backup of hard drive is waiting on this program to solve the problem.

    You will need to stop the search of updated running in background. The value of the automatic updates to "never check for updates" and then restart.
