• What should be the file size of Vista SP2 through Windows Update If SP1 is already installed?

  Hello

  Please could someone clarify this? I read on a few messages that if Vista SP1 is already installed then the Vista SP2 update file size should be around 40-50 MB.

  I checked manually through Windows Update > check for updates. He finds updated Vista SP2, but the file size is of approximately of 340-350 MB.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335036.aspx

  Indicates that there should be ~ 43meg for 32-bit and ~ 60meg for 64 bit.

  It can be substantially larger depending on how many updates between SP1 and SP2 are not already installed. Microsoft partner

• Windows Vista SP2 kills Windows Update

  Hello.
  Whenever I have install Service Pack 2 on a computer running Windows Vista (32 bit), he kills the features of Windows Update and stuck on "Looking for updates.

  I tried 3 times from zero (clean Windows from recovery DVDs).
  Up to Vista Sp1, I can install all updates from Windows Update... but if I install the SP2, Windows Update stop in the works.
  I tried Microsoft Fix program, manually delete the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, catroot2, ecc
  "Windows Update Readiness tool" and http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/windows-update-error-8000ffff too.

  This is a known bug?

  Apparently, if you enable automatic updates, a little incontinence appear... (also if it does not work) If you leave it alone for a while (a few hours, a large number of hours) and after rebooting your computer, you will receive updates in the background and it patch the Vista operating system. This solved my problem (a hidden patch?).

  Hi imoffshore,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

  ·         When was the last time it worked?

  ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

  ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

  ·         You get the error message?

  When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

  1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
  2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
  3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

  The options available for automatic updates.

  You must make some changes in the windows registry.

  Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• Windows Update keeps trying to install K2686828 and KB2656369.

  Windows Update keeps trying to install K2686828 and KB2656369.  Whenever I tells me the installation succeeds only to ask again to update.  I tried the fix - it solutions, and they have not corrected the problem.  Also, I did a virus scan and found nothing.  All my other updates were installed without problem.

  This problem is related to the MSI registration information inconsistancies.  I was able to fix by using a cmd "msiexec /i {C09FB3CD-3D0C-3F2D-899A-6A1D67F2073F} ADDLOCAL = ALL/l * v % temp%\repairLog.txt.  At the end of this process, the two installed normally KB and I have now no critical updates in the meantime.  I noticed that article 917964 described a situation where IE would not work if the repairs were made the xp without removal of IE8 or IE 7 first.  My IE 8 works fine.  By 917964, "before you perform a repair of Windows XP installation, you must uninstall Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Windows Internet Explorer 8 of the Windows XP computer.". If you perform a repair of Windows XP installation, when a later version of Internet Explorer is still installed, Internet Explorer does not once the repair is complete. »

• Not able to boot after that windows update, just trying to install the number 3 setting 3, and then restart the computer. With the help of Windows Vista SP2

  Friday morning I wasn't able to boot my computer more. When I start my computer it won't seek to set a parameter nr 3 of 3. And then it restarts again. My computer tried to install some windows update settings the day before with no success. I Don t remember what it was. I got Vista SP2

  The same problem happends to my computer from friends four days, after she start a windows update installation. But it has solved its problem by using the Windows installation CD and use the repair tool.

  For me, my Windows installation CD I got from Dell does not work. Not the tool repair or startreparation. And I have no reference system to return.

  What should I do? I don't want to reinstall windows again, I have a lot of information on the computer I need to.

  All the world has noticed this problem?

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista repair disc.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  There is not a disk of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If the ISP above Mathods to solve your problems, save your data using one of the methods below, and then reinstall Windows:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.

• Cannot install Vista SP2 (or any other update) even after the KB947821 application

  I tried for months getting my wife's cell phone to install SP2 and other updates of security, but they keep failing.  Microsoft's response is to use the analysis tool... but it does not work.

  Unlike some others, the tool reports having installed successfully (KB947821v12) but I then try to install SP2 (or other updates from windows update) and I get an error message.

  The system is a Dell inspiron 1525 Dual core * address email is removed from the privacy * and 3 GB RAM under Vista Home Premium, SP1 (32-bit).  System Norton antivirus installed, licensed and fully updated. I've removed almost any other piece of software besides the pilots, office 2007, and Norton, run a registry cleaning tool, defragmented the drive hard, etc.  Still getting the same error.

  Try to install SP2 (KB948465) starting from the .exe downloaded from microsoft (have tried so many times, I couldn't wait to download each time!), gives me the message "Installtion failed", details show the 0x800f081f error code

  Through windows update, I have the following four updates available, I have several times to install these and get the error code 8007371B for all:

  • KB2508272 (Cumulative security update)
  • IE8 - 8007371B (also tried to install IE8 by uploading it directly on the site of ms, as opposed to windows update)
  • KB2079403 (security update)
  • KB956250 (.net 3.5 Sp1 update)
  • KB68930 (Windows PowerShell 2.0)

  Come to be able to install KB890830 today (27/04/2011), but even after installing that others do not work!

  8007371B ERROR_SXS_TRANSACTION_CLOSURE_INCOMPLETE
  One or more required members of the transaction are not present.

  'Something' interferes with operations in Windows\winsxs. This 'thing' is Norton or malware. Have you checked one of the logs generated by the update system (or CheckSUR) tool when he was executed?
  They are located in and named it.

  Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log
  Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log

  It looks like you will need to either Configure the system to boot or uninstall Norton, then run is the removal tool, in order to resolve the error, 8007371 B, elrao.

  At the moment, it may be too late to solve the inconsistencies that are produce in winsxs. Your other options are-

  (1) contact Microsoft for assistance in obtaining the security updates installed (KB2508272 or KB2079403). However, KB2078403 was published last summer, and should be installed now. This isn't a good sign.

  Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.
