Vista SP2 downloads continuously through the update without installing really

Auto / Updater wants to continually Download Vista Home SP2. End of the installation but SP2 isn't really here so the cycle repeats. Belarc reports 17 missing updates so far and I can't find a solution.

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support, initially planned to end on November 26, 2009, has been postponed until February 26, 2010, so move on! Availability of support chat or messaging differs depending on your location. Some questions may require that more support for which he is advanced a charge.  Go to http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034 & select appropriate category (i.e., download problem;) Installation problem; Problems after installing a service pack). ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

  • Vista SP2 not provided in the updates

    I use Vista Ultimate SP1 of the initial installation.
    I noticed that SP2 is available for some time now.
    My question is - why has it not been downloaded by automatic updates.
    Does this mean that I have to download myself and hope _ as it installs OK. Seems that people have had a few problems with SP2 installed.
    Maybe better to leave it where it is.
    I can get some advice please.

  • Firefox 9.0.1 "apply the update"? I can't get Firefox 9.0.1 to install and be usable by the other account on our desktop. as the administrator that the update is installed, other user accounts cannot get beyone 'Apply Update' - what is happening?

    Sorry for the long question. The issue is that totally impossible to install Firefox 9.0.1, so it can be used by the two user accounts on this desktop computer. I tried several times to download the update and install when running the second user account. It does not seem to install - page 'About' Watch 'Apply Update' - which then seems to do nothing. When I go to the primary account user Firefox is fully installed and functional.

    If files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder of updates\0 and updates or you need to run Firefox once as administrator on each account where the files for the update has been downloaded.

    You can also remove active - update.xml, or even updates.xml (stores the history of update).

    Hi hunneebun,

    These mentioned updates are released to fix application compatibility issues.
     
    It may or may not be important depending on the types of applications you have installed.
     
    However, you can try the following steps and check if they help install the updates without any problem.
     
    Step 1:
     
    Disable all security software temporarily and try to install the updates.
     
     
     
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Step 2:
     
    You can place your computer in a clean boot State and install the standalone updates below.
     
    Note: follow step 7 to your computer as usual.
     
    Stand alone package.

  • Can not get the Vista SP2 download

    I have a problem installing Vista SP2 on my laptop Gateway MT6821.  It is 32-bit.

    Windows downloads fine, but when I start the installation process, it stops at this way:! 0xc0190036! 1713/48896 (nwiri.sys)

  • When Vista SP2 will stop receiving the normal Windows updates.

    It was mentioned in another thread that Vista (I guess that SP2) reaches the end of mainstream support in April.

    I have seen this document,

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/lifecycle#section_2

    which suggests to me normal stop support (Windows updates) in April.

    Could you clarify it please exactly what it means for a 'regular' customer with a preinstalled copy of Vista or someone who installed it themselves via a disc OEM etc.

    This means that Windows Update will cease to provide patches, etc from April this year for Vista SP2?

    Thank you...

    Hi Mooly,

    Updates will still be available after April, there will be always some support for updates of security which are sent to the bottom of the Windows Update. According to article http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifepolicy

  • Impossible to install Vista Service Pack 1 through Windows Update

    Hello

    Recently I had to reinstall windows vista home premium 32 bit on my old acer aspire laptop. I did a "clean install", all was well with this operation. I had to install a large number of various updates after doing, now I am notified via windows update vista service pack 1 is available for download/installation. When I try to perform this action, I get a popup window that informs me of what to know before installing sp1, then I reach a window where I have to accept the terms of the software installation. Once I click on the little square and accept the conditions, it goes to another window with two choices... install & cancel, when I click the button install... instead of windows update download and install the update, I am presented with the view of windows update, the update has been installed successfully When in fact it was not. I prefer to install sp1 via windows update, because she was supposed to be a size smaller than the stand-alone version available on microsofts website. Has anyone else had the same question, and if so how do you fix? Of course this laptop is not my main computer, but as it still works very well I continue to use it.

    Thank you

    Support for Vista without SPs is complete.

    Use the standalone version for both SPS.

    Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

    It will also tell you which SP you have installed.

    Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, installation of SP1 first if it is not already installed.

  • 64-bit Windows vista hangs after you run the update

    Hello

    Last night I ran the update of windows on my 64 bit vista laptop, he said there are 2 updates important (I don't remember what they were) and 1 optional (for security essentials).  I chose to install them all, let run updates, restarted the computer when he was asked and then pinned the problem.  Windows starts up nicely, all my startup apps pop up like normal (things like security basics, steam, etc.) and, if I don't touch it, it looks fine.  Sometimes I can get as opening firefox, sometimes just moving my mouse t - it, but the computer just hangs.  I can still move my mouse (sometimes it turns in a circle, as the computer working on something) but I can't click on anything whatsoever, cannot Ctrl + alt + delete... my only way of l ' down made a difficult start.

    I tried to use the tool of the previous version to roll back to before the update, the Wizard works well and said completing, but I still have the same question.  If I'm in safe mode or safe mode with networking, it works fine. I even tried to delete pending.xml to see if it was an update stuck but who did not (cmd said that there was no pending.xml found to remove)

    Anyone know what this might be or how to fix it?  I'm fresh out of ideas
