Any clues in the install log or whatever other diagnostics the install
is creating?
Hint: Search all files that the update is changing (e.g. all files changed
during that minute of that day) for either 652 or the decimal equivalent
of that hex value, 1618.
You might also be lucky and find more details about it in the Event log.
E.g. Run... eventvwr.exe
Also, be on guard for the possibility that the message is bogus
and then would just be an indication that *something* is wrong
but not necessarily that there is an update which has not completed.
In fact, if you have been attempting this update more than once
the message might be reporting such a previous attempt. In that case
it would be best to go back in the log and find whatever diagnostics
were given in the *first* install attempt.
Good luck
Robert
