Problem with Windows Update and WinXP

Expand Post »
Hey,

I have a P4 running WindowsXP. One of the latest updates on Windows Update is "Q324929: December 2002, Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1".

I will select this update to install and it will indicate it succeeded. However, the next time I go to Windows Update, there it is again as an available update! This just continuously happens no matter what I do. No other problems with any other updates.

Does anyone out there in internet land happen to have the same problem with this update?

Re: Problem with Windows Update and WinXP
Goto Add/Remove Programs, and scroll to the bottom. There, it lists all of the Windows Update Hotfixes. If that update appears there, mazel tov... its a Microsoft bug (who would have guessed).

Re: Problem with Windows Update and WinXP
Nope, it's not listed there. But I've always noticed that not all of my updates are always listed there, so I just take that for what it's worth.

If I go to Windows Update and then to View Installation History, it's listed there and says "successful".

However, it's still listed as an available download option! Not only that, but if I select it and install it, it installs perfectly and says successful again.

This isn't a big deal. I'm not going to kill myself over a single IE6 bugfix. Was just curious as to whether others had the same problem.

btw

btw ...

only Windows Update fixes with available uninstallers will appear in Add/Remove programs. When I look at the details of the one I'm having a problem with, it says "No Uninstaller Available."

Re: Problem with Windows Update and WinXP
IE 6.0 and IE 6.0sp1 had some "memory hook" bugs which still aren't solved.. It is always good to stick on ie5.5 + sp2 in most cases , imo it is the latest stable version of IE.

CSCgal, you can try these [ which you can also find from http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/ ] and try to solve your problem. I think resetting Windows Update v4 will solve your problem..

Or....

If you go into preferences on the windows update site (which they should have made a program, not a web site but it's ms) you can tell it not to display that update again. I don't know if that's what you are trying to do but I think it would solve the problem for you at least. You'll still be bothered inside your brain though....
