Error - there is a problem with the external Setup program and it must be closed when you try to install windows updates

Original title: How can I fix external MSI?

When I try to download the updates, the error message says there is a problem with the external Setup program and it must be closed.  Updates will not be installed.  Anyone know how to solve this problem...?

Hi John,.

·         You are able to install other applications on the computer?

It seems to be a problem with the corruption of the .net framework. I suggest trying to repair the .net framework on the computer and see if you can install the updates.

    Greetings and salutations:

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I tried to install these 'important' updates several times with the same result - updates failed, error 800b0100 code. I downloaded and installed the KB974821 tool - tells me it installed - same problem. (I don't know if I'm supposed to do something else with KB974821 - I have to "run" or just "installed" it enough?) Instructions could certainly be clearer)

    I tried to download and install the updates manually - without success - I get various error messages, like "does not apply to your system" or "for a different hardware platform.

    I tried this with my firewall/antivirus close as well - using Trend Micro - and still no luck.

    Thoughts, comments, suggestions, help? Very much appreciated. Thank you.

    Thanks in advance


    @stu

    Not because of the number of pixels, in this photo and the chosen level of quality there is no possible way to create a JPG file to the size of file you requested. You must change your export settings.

    Show us a copy of the export dialog box, so we can see clearly the part file setting and the size of the Image.

    Also indicate the number of this image (width and height) pixels after cropping (as appropriate) and prior to export.

  • "Configuration of the Windows updates failed. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer"error when you try to install Windows updates

    Original title: problems with updates

    I tried to install windows updates since the store won't let me update to 8.1 otherwise, but I've been miserably lacking 4 days in a row now. Commissioning Windows Update in Control Panel or the charm of parameters found 133 available updates and informs me that they will install automatically. If I then try to install progress remains at "downloading 0 KB", after a while updates are shown as installation. When the installation is completed I'm prompted to restart my pc. After the reboot if I'm greeted by the "Failure configuring Windows updates" screen for about an hour, then I'm able to reconnect to the desktop computer. I've been searching the forums for similar problems looking for an answer and trying different solutions, such as:

    Stop the update service then renaming or deleting the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution. No positive results on this one.

    Using SFC and DISM, first came up with my system is clean, the second did find and fix corrupt elements of store, but the problem persists.

    Download the tool for troubleshooting Windows Update from Microsoft page, who reported finding and repairing problens with service, but again without success.

    Reduce the installed updates at a time, in the instance that Windows can't handle most of the many updates at the same time. I tried this and it seemed to go well, but a strange point of interest that is so annoying is that several edits I checked are installing somehow, even if it is the only example that shows the number of updates being installed before restarting. Yet I always comes to the same conclusion. Failure of Windows updates the screen. What should I do?

    Hello

    Please update us with the State of the question. We apologize for the delay in responding

    4. Follow the instructions. You may have to restart your PC after that error checking is complete.

    Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

    Step 2: command tool (DISM) deployment image Service and management.

    By running this command, we can retrieve or modify information in an image. To run the DISM command, please follow the steps below:

    2.
    Another method is to use them:

    Use Process Explorer to "Suspend" the process will not stop

    By default, Win7 is more secure than Windows XP, Yes. If you decide to "switch" to Win7, but keep pressing this freebie ugly AOL/McAfee, chances are that you will be infected again later. I wish that you were runningMicrosoft Security Essentials (free), NOD32 or Kaspersky Anti-Virus (not free).

    NB: If you upgrade the computer to Windows XP to Win7, it will essentially be a "clean install". While most of your Windows XP data will be stored in a folder called Windows.old, I wouldn't trust safety of this right off the bat because of the infection aleady-today ' hui.

    However, you can format the hard drive and do a clean install of Windows XP to resolve the infection. Who would you save a few $$ and you would not have to learn a new operating system (e.g., Win7). Details available on request.
