Security updates not installing

thanks for the advice, will try it asap and reply to inform you as to progress, seems like some detailed instructions, so many thanks!! again thanks for your time i am v greatful for all your help so far

To update, I tried both options, the first didnt work, and alas, so did the second one, exiting the attempted install of of the hotfix with error 0x800736B3 saying "the referenced assembly is not installed on your system".

This a strange problem indeed, it seems.

Maybe this will work

remove all files and folders from

C:\Users\<your account>\AppData\Local\Apps

//remmeber this folder is hidded//

There is no folder named "Apps" in C:\Users\civint\AppData\Local, only the following

Microsoft
Mozilla
Temp
VirtalStore

and some single files.
:S

This option is possible.Create new admin account and on the new one try install updates.

On the new 'update' account the same error occurs. I'm stumped!

I tried the first option, however, the download link posted kept failing on install (corrupt file, apparently) so I tried a newer version of the software which installed fine, but instead of

cd /d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin"

I only found

cd /d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin"

I ran the command and nothing occurred.

So I looked for the registry key and it was not present.

I am currenntly downloading from cnet the .NET 2.0 SDK to see if it works, and if it does if it affects anything.

Otherwise, updates still failing.
Many thanks for your continued help.

Ii's no strange it didn't work.mage.exe file is included in NET Framework SDK 2.0 if you don't have installed it,the command will never work.Install NET Framework SDK and try again.For me mage.exe is located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin,and first you have to navigate to folder where this file is stored otherwise it will never work too.Thus is neccessary following command in console

cd /d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin"

If mage command fail too try this method

rename C:\Windows\Assembly folder

I had a look, and after installing 2.0 AND 3.5 (the newer one reccomended from the MS download site, and the 2.0 from cnet) and it still only has a 6.1 folder. But mage and mageui are still there.

I ran "mage -cc" and it gave me the result 'application cache cleared', but the updates still fail.

Again sorry for my lack of understanding, what should I be doing to

rename C:\Windows\Assembly folder

?

many thanks
