    Which edition of Windows and What Service Pack level is on now?

    Please go here, click the Fixit and Save MicrosoftFixit50202.msi. Once the download is finished either click on the link for Vista/Win7 or XPand configure the system to start in a clean boot State: Vista/Windows 7 or XP . NOTE: If a 3rd party firewall was used and the system is always connected to the internet, ensure that the native Windows Firewall is now enabled by opening the Windows Firewall in Control Panel.

    Once the system has been started in a clean condition, run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose aggressive mode. When it has finished its operation, restart the system and see if we can install ONE updates recently downloaded while still remaining in the clean boot state.

    If it's possible, then UNdo the steps to boot, reboot again and see if it can install the rest of the newly downloaded updates in Windows normal mode.

    I had to disable the "User Account Control" (UAC), which allows you to run as administrator in Vista.  After that I turned it off, all 4 of these updates installed and it doesn't require manual installation.   Follow these steps:

    In the case of Vista view:

    1.) go to start; Control Panel; "User accounts and family safety"; User accounts.
    2.) click on 'Enable user account control or disable' (last point on the page)
    3.) clear the checkbox "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer" and click "OK."
    4.) restart the computer, and then run the installation of the system and they work.

    If you are in Classic view:

    1.) go to start; Control Panel; Security Center
    2 screen.) in the "Windows Security Center", go to the last item "User Account Control" and click the button to turn off.

    You can also see the security shield in your Start menu.  You can also access the UAC via this.

    After that the installation of the system have been updated, make sure that you go back and turn the UAC "" and then restart your computer so that unauthorized updates do not occur.   Always try this turn off if install doesn't work.
