KB943729 fails

Currently I have around 6 out of 60 Vista business PC's that are failing to
install KB943729 (server 2008 clientside update) they fail with error code
80079643. I have tried a manual install of the hotfix but this also fails.
EventId 4375 and 4385 are recorded in the system log.

cheers

Really? Or is that a typo for 80070643 (which is much more common
but equally meaningless without any context:

<cmd_output OS="XPsp2">
E:\>set /a c = 0x643
1603
E:\>net helpmsg %c%

Fatal error during installation.
</cmd_output>
)

Then your problem is more related to the product than to the method
of distributing the patch. Cross-posting to a Vista newsgroup.

So did you open them up? Details?

in your post... ; }
