I think that Windows Update tries to install an update that I don't need me

Update of Windows on the computer, I'll put in place says that this important update is available:

KB2699988 - a security update Cumulative for Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Vista for x 64 systems.

When I try to install from Windows update I get this error:
«Some updates have not been installed - failed: 1 update.» Error (s) found: Code 8007371 C - Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
It then provides a link to "Get help with this error" which takes you to a page of results from help and Support Windows. No listed results mention a C 8007371 error, but one of them is "Resolve problems with installing updates" I click on that one.

The upper part of advertising Microsoft 'Fix - it' for "automatically diagnose and fix common problems with Windows Update. I have try this. The file runs and I select "detect problems and patch for me (recommended) - with a single click, we detect problems AND apply the patches on this machine" at the end of its run, the program informs me that "Troubleshooting is complete. He listed under 'Problems found', "components Windows Update must be repaired", followed by 'Fix the status - set' and a happy green check mark. For those interested, here are the details of the report:

Windows Update
Problems found-
Windows Update components need to be repaired - fixed
Fix the Windows Update components - successful
Checked - questions
Update Windows by default data locations have changed - verified

Problems found
Windows Update components need to be repaired - fixed
One or more componetes Windows Update is configured incorrectly

Verified issues
Update Windows by default data locations have changed - verified
The location where Windows Update stores data has changed and needs to be repaired

I then press 'next' and indicate that I do not know if my problem is solved or not among the options "yes/no./i don't know." The window changes, and informs me that insofar as Windows Update will "no problems need attention" with another icon of happy green check mark. A good time to check if the patch can be installed again!

I try from Windows update - fails with an error C 8007371
Restart and try again - fails with an error C 8007371

So, I decide to try to download the file directly from microsoft and bypass the Windows Update mechanism

Downloaded KB2699988 from Microsoft.
Tried to install it in the 'normal' windows desktop: come to the last part of the green bar and then I get:
"Some updates were not installed - the following updates don't have not been installed: security for Windows Update (KB2699988).

Tried again to install the SafeMode file. Had this error:
Setup Windows Update Standalone - Setup has encountered an error: 0x8007043c. This service cannot be started in Mode safe.

Went on the forums and then I tried these challenges listed as possible solutions to this problem:

1 ran the System File Checker scan according to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212. He returned a value of "Windows Resource Protection has not found any breach of integrity."
2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212 (2nd half of the page) listed by using the System Restore tool to move to another point in time. I have all the old points system, restore, so this isn't an option for me.
3. clean start up the PC and then ran Windows Update according to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135: essentially the same as before. However, to stop all services, and then restart the Windows Update service, I tried, once again, to install the stand-alone Installer KB2699988 (file name of this file, for your benefit is .msu Windows6. 0 -KB2699988 - x 64). After the execution of this file, this message will appear: "Setup Windows Update Standalone - the update doesn't not apply to your system" OK is my only option here.

So now the leaves wondering if this necessary update is really necessary at all. Why Windows Update says that I need this file which is not even for my computer?

It is a specific consumer support forum. You will find support for Vista forums in these IT Pro-online http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/windowsvistaitpro

  • Cannot start Windows after trying to install the Vista SP2

    I just tried to install Vista SP2 and now whenever I try to turn on the cpu it gives me a blue screen and restarts. It does allow me to start in SafeMode either. In addition, it seems to be impossible to find my restore points. I was able to stop the screen using the F8 menu and it gives me this error on the blue screen

    STOP: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0X81C223BB, 0X803998F4, 0X803995F0)

    For some reason, when I go to the cmd prompt to advanced troubleshooting guide, I can do, he says that I am the X and not the C drive, if that has something to do with my restore points does not.

    I tried to get the menu of the restoration on C manually through C:\windows\system32\restore\, but nothing was there.

    Any help would be appreciated. I will not lose rather all my data in a reformat.

    Thank you

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you installed SP2?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.
