Re: updates won't install

I had the same problem and followed the MS troubleshooting procedure (on
the WUD website) and it worked well. 22 out of my 25 updates pending
could be installed. Here is the script they advice:

1. Re-register the Windows Update DLL with the commands below
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
Type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command.
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wups2.dll
regsvr32 wuweb.dll

Attempt to run Windows Update

The below command will *usually* resolve update installation failures in
XP, * ESPECIALLY * after the application of SP3 has been done.

regsvr32 wups2.dll
