Hi all. I've been trying to install the latest Windows XP updates to no avail. I also tried manually downloading from the windows site, but it gives me an error when I try to install. I was hoping to be updated before tomorrow (April 1 -- Conficker!). Any suggestions? Thanks.

The problem is with the IE7 Cumulative Security Update (kb961260). I downloaded it from the Window's site. It put it on my desktop. When open it and run the update installer, it gives me the window saying Setup Error: Access is denied. Then it reboots my computer.

What version of XP are we working with?

[kiks]

Can you install any other updates?

It is currently the conficker virus blocking the update. It will block any updates from being installed even before APRIL 1st.

Just as an aside, here's a nifty little "eye chart" that tells you if you've got Conflicker on your system: http://www.conficker...cfeyechart.html

Doesn't work behind a proxy server tho'.

I was able to install the other March 2009 updates; it was only the IE7 update that was blocked.

The "eyechart" indicates that my system is ok.

Lets try resetting IE to defailts and running update.

Step 1
Reset IE to defaults.

• Open up IE.
• Press the ALT Key.
• Click on Tools.
• Click on Internet Options.
• Click on Advanced.
• Click on reset.
• Click ok.

Step 2
Run windows updates again.

• GO to http://update.microsoft.com.
• Click on express.

Ok, I did the reset, etc., but when I try to update from that link, I get the error 0x8007005. By the way, I don't want Service Pack 3. Maybe the problem is that it won't download IE7 update without having SP3?

You can download IE7 without SP3.
Is the error code 0x80070005? That's an access-denied error from Windows Update.
Try having a look at your Windows Update logfile for more info about this error: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902093

Step 1

Start >Run, type
regsvr32 jscript.dll
<enter>

Try Windows Update. If it is still not working, then try this:

Start >Run, type
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll
<enter>

Try Windows Update. If it is still not working then lets try this:

step 2

Download and install the following

Windows scripting host 5.6 for Windows XP and Windows 2000

Tried those .dll and the scripting hose. Still no luck.
