• How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?

  Question

  I have another type of problem with Firefox

  Description

  Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?

  Version of Firefox

  3.6.3

  Operating system

  Windows XP

  User Agent

  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

  Plugins installed

  • npmnqmp - 989898989877
  • NP-mswmp
  • Adobe PDF plugin for Firefox and Netscape "9.3.2.

  • Foxit Reader plugin for Firefox and Netscape
  • Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
  • Version 1.0.3 copyright 1996-2009 The VideoLAN Teamhttp: / /www.videolan.org/

  You can manually reset the software update feature by closing Firefox and remove the file "updates" (which seems you have done) and the two files "active - update.xml" and "updates.xml" - these are in the installation (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) directory or in the profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something.default).

  If it does not, see our KB article How to resolve the failure of the update of Firefox update error message - the section of 'last resort' can be useful, or or read this article from MozillaZine KB, software update.

  Please let us know how the above work, and if we can be of further assistance.

• Updates Windows will not download.

  I'm loading to the top of page update on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 x system and it shows that I have updated security to install windows. I had about 11, but some of them downloaded and installed correctly as Security Essentials definitions etc, however; the security updates are not download. It showed 0% about 3 days now.

  Is this a problem with the microsoft Server? I tried to download them directly from the site, but I had the same problem there. They will not download and install. I don't know how this has become a problem so I can't give the last update, I installed before that happens, but I can say that it's happened with other updates. Only once.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Updates, I am trying to download are:

• Windows Update does not install some updates; can not download iTunes or Adobe updates

  For about a month now I had trouble downloading the updates. Windows Update is not good download and install an update called update security for Microsoft Works 8 (KB973636). The details of the error say Code 646. I was try and do not install this update for a month. Other updates are installed automatically without any problem. I was also unable to download iTunes and Adobe updates. During the download, a window pop up that says "Error in installation" and the program closes. I don't know if these issues are related to a problem with a previous update, which I downloaded from Windows Update?

• Update Windows XP, SP2 is not keen to download...

  I just did a fresh install of XP on a hard drive extra and I'm trying to update XP, automatic updates are on and I even went on the site for updates to check updates. SP2 has tried to download overnight, but it is not nothing, or do anywhere. Anyone happen to know why this is? All small updates have been downloading fine until updated SP2.

  (Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum, I thought I chose the Windows XP box)

  Download the complete file and install:

  There is a known issue with Windows Update that address priority before you visit Windows Update

  Manually download and install the latest cumulative security update for IE8 and restart before

  visit windows update via the shortened link in your Start menu.

  When you have Win XP SP3 and IE8, it will be the necessary file

  http://download.Microsoft.com/download/1/9/A/19A6AC47-9EA0-455F-B918-A44D25B5304C/IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-enu.exe

  It often happens that the installation of SP3 will break the windows update feature by not properly installing the windows update agent.  An older version of the windows update agent can be downloaded and saved in the C directory and installed by an execution command.

  Windows update agent is available during one of the linked pages

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943144

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104/en-us

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2714434/en-us

  A reboot is probably a good idea after each intervention.

  Now connect to windows update manually through your browser using the shortcut in the start menu link and your chances are better that it will work.

  When the latest version of windows and to connect to Windows Update will detect the old version of Windows update agent installed update agent will be installed after consenting to the ActiveX installation.  It will be the first thing that happens when connecting to Windows update if things continue normally.

• Automatic updates is stuck, includes most of it resources, is not download the updates (windows xp) & how to use FixIt

  Automatic updates is stuck and includes most of the computing resources, does not download updates (windows xp).

  After restarting a couple of times and the computer almost melt it finally resolved itself but would like to know how to solve/speed "constipation" where it would happen again.

  Have automatic updates set in place to be notified, but not to download or install before you have manually committed.  Launched the download but then icon taskbar disappeared and cannot cancel downloads when the computer started to overheat.  Restarted.

  East went to the Microsoft Update Web site, but got stock without ever generating the list of updates.  Restarted.

  Went to link to FixIt for this type of problem and it just downloaded WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab and indicated that nothing was available to open this type of file.  Should a FixIt application be installed first?  He is yet to provide suggestions on how to proceed.

  Aversion to disable the automatic updates if would like more information on how to have a greater mastery of the process that it hogs computer and interfere with the realization of planned work.

  Kind regards.

  Thanks for the reply.

  I agree that it is not dust on the fan - read my response above.

  As I said above, I have concluded that the solution to the problem of automatic updates are unruly must all just use to be notified when updates are available, but then go on the site of Microsoft Updates and make the download / installation of the updates from there.  Doing it this way is much less likely to cause problems and offer better control of the user.  Once Microsoft Updates ends the taskbar icon disappears until the next time updates are available.
