Re: [XP Pro] Updates Fail after Fresh Install and XP SP3 Loaded
The new Update Agent was not included with SP2.
(It was not even issued until several years after SP2). |

Considering it was a fresh install, I phoned Microsoft support and they listed the following steps, which resolved the issue with installing the aforementioned updates (sharing notes as the other workarounds mentioned in this topic will likely resolve the issue):
Solution: re-registered the .dll files for updates
action: stop the BITS, .ASPnet, cryptographic services
action: rename the software distribution folders, catroot2 folders
action: start the BITS,AUTOMATIC UPDATES ,CRYPTOGRAPHIC SERVICES
action: register the following update files
cd /d %SystemRoot%\system32

==============================================
Wondering if including the update agent in the first round of updates would resolve this issue? If it could be included with SP2, is there something in SP3 prohibiting that possibility? Just curious...
Thanks for all your help, BC!! |

Yes, I would be interested in hearing your results. Certainly if wup2.dll is not registered, and your installation scenario suggests it will not be (see the KB Article I linked earlier), then that aspect has to be sorted.
This has nothing to do with SP3.
On a last note, the toughest installations I know of have been anything related to security or other updates to existing .NET Frameworks, and anything related to Windows Media Player. My own view of the matter is that any update that Windows Update shows an installation failure gets the redistributable download from Microsoft downloads and installed that way.
There is a complication with the .NET framework updates in particular, as they are dependent on their instalation success on another component -- MDAC. It is unlikely at this point in time that your MDAC versioning is correct. If necessary, we can manually correct that later based on your results with the first repair I suggested earlier. At some point the resolution of any issues will require posting at least a portion of the Windows Update LOG.

BC,
I do recall seeing only two updates show up (instead of the typical three) after XP SP2 completed installation (the update agent not included). I forgot about that slight change in the routine as I had noticed during that install...
I will give the workaround a try and let you know how goes.
Melvin,
Not sure if the manual install would resolve the update as I am not clear if the issue is with Windows/Microsoft Update knowing your patch version vs. a dependency associated with the Update Agent, which was not included in the first round of updates after a fresh install of XP SP2.
Keep you posted (most likely tomorrow since this gave me a headache). |
