Latest Updates.... 1 Failed. Happen to You?

This is the problem. Do not install automatically. Set to notify and you do the installing. When there are many and a restart is necessaary conflicts occur. Set update to notify and do one or two at a time.

Welocme, if you have any questions about the forum, just contact me and I will help.

One update Failed Installation... but I just hit try again and it installed.

The update is for #2388210 = Application Compatibility Update for Windows XP Professional x64 edition, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Embedded Standard 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2: October 2010 .

I believe I encountered the same error message this evening while including all updates. I then followed rich46s method of installing updates and the matter was resolved IE: after the first 3 updates installed successfully I retried the failed update & it installed successfully (sometimes a reboot is required).

If all else fails follow the Microsoft link contained in the error message that states how to resolve this error.

I had the same issue on both of my machines just now. 2nd attempt at the failed one succeeded.

I had the same updates. One at a time a no problem. Set the updater to notify.

It's not so much as to the number of updates but it's the size of the update.
I usually download all the updates sized Kb first, then do the MB sized ones separately.
The optional ones I read to see if I really need or use it and if not I hide it.
This is just the way I do business and haven't any problems with downloads. IMHO
