MSE Update KB2754296

Last night I was notified that new updates were availible. I went to the update page and selected all of the important updates.

KB2754296 failed to installed. I have tried several times to get it to install.

Attachment 233668

During the attempt to install the update I get this message:

Attachment 233669

After a few seconds the top two (2) parts of that message go away. Then I get this:

Attachment 233670

MSE seems to be working normally but I can NOT figure out why this update keeps failing. Any suggestions would be helpful.

BTW is there any place I can download this update and install manually?

Thanks

I had similar problems. It looks for a file epp.msi but it appears it has trouble finding it, the file is in the Backup folder or MS Security Client but in the AMD64 folder.

I found epp.msi in:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\Backup\x86

Where should it be ??

On a Win 7 64 Bit system i found epp.msi in \Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\Backup\amd64
On a Win 7 32 Bit system i don't find epp.msi

The MSE update worked on both of these systems.

I found epp.msi in this log (Win 7 64 Bit)
\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Security Client\Support\MSSecurityClient_Setup_4.1.522.0_epp_Upgrade.log

See if you have this log file and if it shows any errors.

I was mistaken, the 32 Bit system i looked at does not have MSE on it.

I just checked a 32 Bit system with MSE and the file is:
\Program Files\Microsoft Security Client\Backup\x86\epp.msi

At the moment I have NO clue why the update is NOT working. As long as MSE continues to work in a way I think it should, I will leave it alone.

If MSE should stop working then I will uninstall it and then reinstall the latest version.

Right now I can't think of anything else to try.

I am getting the same failure to install update. It also crashes MSE. Had to do a system restore and hide the update.
