"Microsoft Update" critical updates will not be installed.

I use Windows XP with all updates installed.

I recently installed Nero Suite 10. Now when I go to Microsoft "Update" I find 5 'Critical' updates for Net Framework. I tried to install these about 5 times without success. In addition, I now have an icon on my task bar showing these same 5 "Updates" are ready to install. Same story. Although I have tried again and again, they say that the installation was successful, but the icon remains and the updates are NOT installed.

Help!.

Hi JimSULLIVAN,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2. you receive an error message during the installation of the updates?

3. are you able to install all other updates on the computer?

4. do you have security software installed on the computer?

Method 1

See the article and try the steps mentioned, check if it helps.

Troubleshooting Windows Update or Microsoft Update when you are repeatedly offered an update

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/910339

Method 2

If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you use the .NET Framework cleanup tool and remove the version of .NET Framework for which you are unable to install the critical update and check if that helps.

  • Microsoft Update will not work

    Microsoft Update will not run through Internet Explorer.

    I seem to encounter two different errors and there seems to be no trend about which error appears where or when or why.

    One is 0x800A138F: the site has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view.

    I don't remember exactly what it was or said, but it was similar.

    I tried the solutions so far:

    -restart the computer, internet, etc.

    -added the Windows Update and Microsoft Update for Trusted Sites (I did years ago)

    -reset of Trusted Sites as the Internet zone settings

    -connected Microsoft Fix - It here: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/en-us

    -a attempted to run the windowsupdate.diagcab from here: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/windows-update-issues?wa=wsignin1.0

    As with many other users of this forum, I can't run this .diagcab file. Looking at the many messages on this file, no one has yet solved anything. It seems that Microsoft has yet to recognize or acknowledge that they're providing a tool that is unusable. I hope I've provided enough information to lead to a resolution. I also sent a report through the Fix - It tool when it has not changed anything.

    Hello

    Please go to the Microsoft Community Forums.
     
    You did changes to the computer before the show?
     
    I suggest to refer to the links and follow the steps in the articles:

    WARNING: Reset Internet Explorer settings can reset security settings or privacy settings that you have added to the list of Trusted Sites. Reset the Internet Explorer settings can also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the reset Internet Explorer settings.

  • Unable to use wireless internet. In addition, my windows update will not be installed.

    Original title: extended error code = Oxfof4

    I have a couple of different symptoms. My laptop acts like it doesn't even have wireless capabilities although the exact model the same sitting next to her was a strong wireless signal (I still had internet capability on this laptop also). In addition, my windows update will not be installed.  I checked "Event Viewer" in system tools and have all sorts of errors. Error service Control Manager, "Warning b57w2k", code error Windows Update Agent and more. Still, the laptop doesn't move and accesses files, but no internet. I scanned with AVG and Malwarebytes 0 infection. Uugh!  Any suggestions?

    Many laptops have a switch that turns on or off the wireless radio.  This can be a physical switch somewhere on the laptop or a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys.  Read the user manual for the laptop for more details.

    The warning includes "b57w2k" seems to be linked to a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller (not wireless, wired).  You can click the copy (just below the up/down arrows) on the property sheet for the event and paste the content in your next post here.

    In general, the report that you have 'all kinds of errors' in Event Viewer is not very useful.  We do not understand what you're watching.

    good on computer maybe I severe dyslexia and her take my 45 minuets just for this deal.

    I guess I'll have to find a service online, I hope, or a professional come to my house to fix my old

    Hello

    · What are the security updates that you are trying to install?

    · What is the error message or error code you receive when you try to install the updates, and also when you try to open a mail?

    · Do you remember all the recent changes on the computer before the show?

    The question doesn't seem to be intertwined.

    Search for the installation error code that your computer has saved when the Windows update installation failed. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. Click Start, click all programs and then click Windows Update or Microsoft Update.

    b. on the Windows Update Web site or on the Microsoft Update Web site, click on view update history. A window opens that displays the updates that have been installed or that have failed to install on the computer.

    (c) in the status column of this window, find the failed to install update and then click on the red X.

    (d) a new window opens that displays the installation error code.

  • kb2539636 security update will not download/install automatically

    Download Vista security
    I have a laptop with vista family premium, sp2, 32-bit windows. I need to download kb2539636 security update. It will not download/install automatically. The MS website shows three different files for this download. They are: a 64 x, an IAH64x, an x 86. Since I was a 32-bit system, no sounds just. Which one should I download?

    Hi Ranchman,

    x 86 is commonly used instead of 32-bit (and no, I don't know why)-if it's one you need for a 32-bit system.  I looked up the update here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2539636.  Then I went to http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27017 and I think that what you want is NDP40-KB2539636 - x 86 .exe.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck.

  • Update Windows on Windows 7 remains at 0%. Updates will not be installed.

    Windows 7 update does not install updates.  It is said there are 35 updates installed.  The Update window remains at 0% for hours.  I tried to FixIt - no result.  I checked, that is to say, that everything is as it should be.  This computer is a system that adjusts only once a month.  Should I do a clean boot?  I really don't want to reinstall Windows 7.  Any help would be appreciated.

    You receive errors related to updates?

    1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programs and then click Windows Update.
    2. In the left pane, click view update history.
    3. Find an update for Windows that has failed to install, and then double-click the update to view more information.
      Updates that have failed to install will display failed under status, next to the name of update.
    4. In the Windows Update dialog box, next to the details of the error, review the error code for the update has failed.

    Follow the links in the Windows Update dialog box under more information or help and Support to resolve the problem, then try to reinstall updates by using Windows Update in Control Panel or by mail with the error code and maybe someone may be able to help others.
