Re: Updates are downloaded but fail to install

I have another solution!
I'v found that this solution didnt work for me even after I tried 3 times.
This worked builtifuly: (taken from: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144 )

Method 1: Register the Wups2.dll file in Windows (I didnt need to try the
method 2)
To register the Wups2.dll file in Windows, follow these steps:
1. Stop the Automatic Updates service. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
b. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
net stop wuauserv

2. Register the Wups2.dll file. To do this, follow these steps:a. At the
command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll
Note For a computer that is running Windows XP Professional x64 Edition,
type the following command, and then press ENTER:
regsvr32 %windir%\syswow64\wups2.dll
(I didnt use this one)

b. Click OK on each verification message that you receive.

3. Start the Automatic Updates service. To do this, type the following
command at the command prompt, and then press ENTER:
net start wuauserv
4. Exit the command prompt. To do this type exit, and then press ENTER.

Than I went to the Windows Update Web Site and installed all 77 updates
gracefully

Good luck guys

Benny, you are MY HERO! I had 85 updates that failed to install until I tried
your "quick fix"! Thanks very much for your valued contribution.
