Solved Microsoft security update (KB2993651)

[themorus]

Belarc says I need update KB2993651 but when I try to install it manually it says not applicable to your computer. Maybe Belarc is wrong. Any ideas?

Belarc is usually pretty good, but it's not perfect. Here's the direct Microsoft download link. Read through the system requirements, additional info, etc. If you still think this update applies to you, try installing.

If it still doesn't install I wouldn't worry about it.

It still won't install.

I just looked at your system specs. If you're still running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit then this update won't install. According to the provided details it's for an x86 (32 bit) version of Windows 7.

Yes I'm well aware of that and downloaded the 64 bit version and the same thing happened.

This update was published 8/26/14. The only other thing I can think of is Microsoft either updated this update or incorporated this update into a later update which is already on your machine and that's why it won't install.

I can't find any related later update for this patch.

Back to basics...

Please follow the Windows Update Posting Instructions and post the requested data

If the file is too large (8MB compressed), remove the older CBSPersist cab files until the final file is below the limit - you can always post them separately after zipping them. (the forum doesn't allow the upload of bare CAB files, for a number of reasons)

Please also post the C:\Windows\windowsudpate.log file

Here's the CBS file.

There are no errors in either CBSPersist,CBS, SFC or CheckSUR files.

Please post the windowsupdate.log file - it may have something more than just a bald error code (though I wouldn't bet on it!)

Below is the windows update file.

There are no significant errors in that log, either.
The KB2993651 patch hasn't been detected for download since before the log started (25th March)
Have you actually checked to see if it's installed already?
Open an ELevated Command Prompt, and run the following command.

DIR C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Package_for_kb2993651*.*

If you get at least one response (I get 3, since three versions of the patch have been released), then the update is almost certainly installed.

What are the version numbers of the C:\Windows\System32\gdi32.dll and C:\Windows\System32\drivers\win32k.sys files??

Below are what you asked for. Not sure you can read the rar file, what application would you use to read that file?

 

[NoelDP]

The installed version of the GSI32.dll file is higher than the one in the patch - you can ignore the patch, since all higher numbers will already have the necessary changes.

Thanks for all you help, much appreciated.
