Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (973923 KB): the Installation fails repeatedly.

Hello

Unfortunately, I can't get this update installed. It fails with error Code 643. I know, this isn't a specific error message, and I tried to follow the advice given here:

http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistawu/thread/89879c8d-a63e-436a-9FD5-6183e39d1ff4/

But this file is not created.

Moreover, I get an error with Logitech SetPoint and a side-by-side installation failed. These problems can be related to each other?

Thank you very much in advance, Rob.

Windows 7 64 bit, all the updates that are installed (with the exception of C++), AMD Phenom II X 4 945, Gigabyte MA-GA770-UDP3

Hi Robseidel,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2 are you able to install any other updates, outside this update?

3. who was the last update installed on the computer? To check the update, open the window update page and click View installed update.

Please let us know what you have already tried, it saved time at both ends.

Just to confirm, did you follow the steps outlined in the article below for Windows Vista as the steps for Windows XP do not work with Windows Vista, and that's why there could be issues in the creation of the files.

If the steps in the link above didn't help then try the steps below and see if that makes a difference.

1 restart the computer in safe mode (to restart in mode safe keep pressing F8 on reboot).

2. click on the start menu and in the search box start type CMD.

3. in the list right click on CMD, and then click Run as administrator.

4. at the command prompt, type net stop cryptsvc.

5 rename C:\windows\System32\Catroot2 Catroot2.old.

6 open the C:\windows folder, and then rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution as SoftwareDistribution.old.

7. at the command prompt, type net start cryptsvc, and press enter

8 restart the computer in normal mode

9. run updates and check if you are able to get the updates without any error.
