Update For Windows Vista For X64-based Systems, Update for Windows (KB938371) Can't Install

Hi All,

Is NE1 else having problems with this Update, All that happens to my machine
is that it asks to be shutdaown to Install Updates, Installs, then the same
thing happens....

I have tried Installing via Windows Update/Standalone, disabling UAC,
Anti-Virus etc, even deleted the SoftwareDistribution folder, but nothing
has worked...

Can't use system restore as restore doesn't go back far enough, i.e before
the 12th of February

I have "hidden" the Update....

My qyestions are:

1) What is causing this problem, how do I solve it, or is a format the only
way??
2) Do I need this Update to Install SP1, or is it only used to Install SP1
via WU?? or will I still be able to Install SP1 via the standalone package??


Thanks For Any Advice

Manually install it, as the version from WU is messed up.

Hi,

I've downloaded the Standalone already, available here.....

It was the KB938371 which was released to WU on the 12th February. It came
down with "other" Important updates from MS

Article ID : 938371
Last Review : February 12, 2008
Revision : 1.0


It was 5.8mb in Size,

After it failed via WU, I Downloaded it manually from MS

http://lb1.www.ms.akadns.net/downloa...DisplayLang=en

As far as I can tell, It has failed with the following Error Codes

Code 8007371B & 80070005

It has failed on my Main Machine, which has NEVER been subjected to ANY Beta
software, as it's a very critical machine, No Registry Hacks etc to enable
SP1 Installation, Just a NORMAL IMPORTANT Update from MS???

I have Windows Update selected to Download & Install Updates
Automatically....

Redownload the update
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
or locate the update that you've already downloaded
or locate the update that downloaded automatically in the softwaredistribution folder

Wherever you find it etc, right click on the update and make sure you run as an
administrator.

Thanks For the Tip,

When I Right-Click on either the Downloaded MSU File or Extracted CAB File,
I do not have anything that resembles "Run As Administrator" ??

You need to download KB937287 as a standalone and install separately first (no reboot required) then install KB938371 and reboot. Microsoft have admitted that a problem exsists if you don't install seperately.
The standalone for both can be downloaded at: Download details: Update for Windows Vista (KB937287)

Yes, Microsoft has admitted that 937287 could cause problems for some users.

Here is the location to download 937287
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

A KB article is also being drafted and it will be sent out shortly.

To GRZYB

If you can't get System restore to show an earlier point try going into Safe Mode to System Restore and see if there shows an earlier point there

.To do this, boot up the machine, press F8 during startup to get a menu of choices, and select the Safe Mode option. If you can't open the System restore applet from the Start menu once Windows has started in Safe Mode, click Start, Run, enter rstrui.exe and click OK. This launches System Restore, and you can then see if can choose a date before the constant rebooting problems started If it works out reinstall the two updates separately

Here's the KB article -

Updates do not install successfully and your computer is continually
restarting when you try to install updates from Windows Update on a Windows
Vista computer.
