Windows XP Update Package, October 25, 2001] I think the first download I tried got corrupted, everytime I redownload it just tries to run the already downloaded copy and gives the same error. Any idea how to remove the downloaded patch?

[Reply or follow-up to this message] re: XP updates Monday, December 3, 2001 at 2:59 pm Posted by Craigey (5 messages posted) Try downloading the updates manually, using getright etc. The easiest way to find the name and link to the file you were downloading that caused a problem. Is to go into your WINNT / WINDOWS folder and find the file called WINDOWS UPDATES.LOG. open the file and you should find the internet location of all files that windows update has downloaded. It also tells you where the files have been downloaded to, but i can never seem to find them in the WUtemp folder!! Anyway just copy & paste the link to the file into getright or even straight into your browser. Download the file to a directory of your choice and run the file when it's completed. Hopefully that will sort it out.

My updated downloads in XP Pro freeze when its meant to execute the files. Downloading manually and executing them woz the only way! It's bloody annoying but I cant find anything relating to this on the Net. Can I delete the downloads folder?? All the files are HIDDEN and you have to find out how to 'unhide' them.

In the log file the error seems to be that the digital signature on the file isn't trusted! That's after I clicked the dialogue granting the Evil Empire full rights to run/install their patches. What's happening? Doesn't Micro$oft trust itself? Has the digital cert been corrupted?

Manually installing the file doesn't fix the problem as widows installer is unaware the file has been installed. My work around was to manually download the file (in this case): http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/auw2k_3C8035DBB28438CD88AA04C74B64ED642530AD48.exe Then to copy it into the place where windows installer expects it to be using the name it expects: C:\WUTemp\com_microsoft.AU2_2_W2K_5435\auw2k.exe I then re-ran Windows Installer, which then happilly installs the update.

Disable the Automatic Update feature. Find the \WUTEMP folder (should be on the specified TEMP drive). Take ownership of it and delete it. Windows Update works fine after that.

Start/Run --> SecPol.msc Then go to "Local Policies> User Rights Assignment" Verify that the "Administrators" group is a member of the following policies: Back up files and directories Debug programs Manage auditing and security log Restore files and directories Take ownership of files or other objects The last item on the list is usually the culprit.
