Have no Microsoft Office installed, but Windows update keeps trying to install an "important security fix" for Office KB951944
I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 1545 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium 64bits. A trial version of office 2007 has been pre-installed, but I removed it. Because something was wrong with deleting automatically I followed the instructions of a Microsoft Office site to manually remove. Although I followed all the steps, I still think that Windows Update sniffs a bit of the program, cause he mind keeps me with the security patch. Anyone an idea how to get rid of it?
Thank you!
You can 'hide' any updates, but be aware that doing this cannot 'hide' all the new Office updates.
How to hide updates in Vista: click on view available updates (or Select the updates installed). Right-click on the update you want to hide. Click hide update | Confirm the UAC (User Account Control) prompt, as appropriate.
To restore/show updates for Vista: Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step) | Windows Update | Restore hidden updates: Find and select the update you want to install | Restoration of. You can now select once again it and install through the normal process.
TIP: to avoid the downloading/installation, updates that you do not want to configure the automatic updates option second or third parameter in the Edit settings window. See picture here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/learn/windowsvista.mspx

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. »

Regarding the .NET - repeat-... updates just hide them (don't show this update again) in WU, delete them (if they are already listed as installed), and then download and install manually.

Windows Update keeps updated tioir to update installed
I am running Windows XP Professional SP3 on my laptop and installed a number of updates successfully on 11 and 13 July 2013.
But Windows Update keeps me offering updates security KB2729450, KB2742569, KB27789643, KB2804577, KB2833940 and KB2844285 and KB952069. I get no error message and they show installed successfully in my update history.
I ran MS Fix Center several times without success. On checking through my control panel, I discovered that the first 6 had actually been installed - I uninstalled and reinstalled, but Windows Update always their offer. I see that KB952069 has been downloaded, but it is not in the security updates that I can see through the control panel; so I do not know if it is also installed (doesn't seem to be the case). I've now hidden these 7 updates in desperation. How to solve this problem?
Good to know and happy you have sorted it.

Windows Update keeps wanting to install "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP (KB2618444)", even if it appears in the list of updates to inistalled in the control panel. The installation fails. When I use "Fix it", it indicates that default Windows update data locations have changed, but I can't 'Fix It' to do the repair. In what could be a related issue, Windows Data Execution Prevention (part of IE 8?) detects a malfunctioning or malicious add-on, whenever I try to access a video on ESPN3 and closes the Web page. However, 'Fix It' can not detect any problems with the modules. I don't know what else to try to fix any of these problems.

Microsoft digitally signs its Windows updates
My system was infected by a virus after a Windows Update. I don't think Windows XP or other versions of Windows have a form any protection against viruses or malware that can integrate itself in the updates of the program so that they are downloaded or after what they have been downloaded. My system was infected with a virus as a result of a systematic update in the past. I firmly believe that Microsoft checks their updates on the Windows Update Server, but is it possible that Microsoft and check the integrity of the download of updates once the update has been downloaded completely to the user's system?
I call this look of Microsoft in the above suggestions because it will ensure that downloads are safe during the download process.

In Windows Vista and later, including Windows 7, updated using Windows Update which is what exactly is that you mention. When you update in Windows Vista or Windows 7, browser does not open site but Windows Update is a stand-alone application that runs the update. If you access the Windows Update Web site will be asked to open this application. Because the support is extended to Windows XP, no new functionality will change in update. However, you might consider upgrading to Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Update to will not hurt or damage the system, they have been tested but if your system suffered damage by Windows Update, you might do restore to save things under normal conditions. They infect you with the virus.
In addition, you said about Internet Explorer 6, it is very old and is not very safe. I suggest to download and install Internet Explorer 8, which is safer and more powerful. It is also available in Windows Update.

Windows Installer keeps trying to install msi.status but it will not install
Windows Installer keeps trying to install msi.status but it will not install and I think he got the other updates to the installation. How difficult or get rid of it?
Hello
In my view, that it is a software HP printer problem. Please, try the following:If you have the HP software on your PC support (printers, etc.)
the disc when the pop-up window displays a location '1'. Click Browse
then open the HP disc in the CD drive. A named icon status should
appear. Click on this icon and load. This will get rid of the
Status.msi loop.If you do not have the original disc. Uninstall HP Photosmart all-in-One Driver software and HP update program - then only reinstall the HP Photosmart all-in-One Driver software. Do not update, just live with it. The web link for the full features of the software download is provided below.

Windows Installer keeps trying to install an update for Paint Shop Photo Album, which is no longer available. How he remove without disabling the windows installer? I installed v4.5 installer that allows enabling or disabling updates. Paint Shop appears but the box is not checked, so the installer must ignore, right?
Using msconfig, I can find nothing in startup or services that will completely eliminate the problem, Evin with instaler disabled, Setup window will start to blink during boot computer has been scanned and cleaned with Security Essentials, SuperAntiSpy and Spybot. \
There is a key in registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\ referring to it.
What is no longer available - Paint Shop Photo Album or the update?
If you have uninstalled Paint Shop Photo Album, you might see if running free Revo Uninstaller is able to get rid of leftovers that could cause problems.
