What is your XP version and Service Pack?

How did you determine that you have duplicate Windows updates and
which updates do you think are duplicates?

If you would supply a few more clues, you might get some better ideas!

Thanks for the reply .
I found these in " Update History " .
XP home SP3
These are the duplicates :
kb 983583
kb 982524
kb 979909
kb 982168
There are multiple ( 5-6 )
entries for all of these .
TIA ,
D.

Hi,
I have the same errors in the applications events.
I notice that I cannot complete the windows update and I got errors. So I
decide to read the event viewer and this is two of the 5 errors that I get :

My os is XP Pro SP3.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: HotFixInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5000
Date: 8/13/2010
Time: 10:54:47
User: N/A
Computer: IGA006621
Description:
EventType visualstudio8setup, P1 microsoft .net framework 2.0-kb979909, P2
1033, P3 1605, P4 msi, P5 f, P6 9.0.40302.0, P7 install, P8 x86, P9 xp, P10 0.

AND

Event Type: Error
Event Source: NativeWrapper
Event Category: None
Event ID: 5000
Date: 8/13/2010
Time: 10:55:02
User: N/A
Computer: IGA006621
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 5000 ) in Source ( NativeWrapper ) cannot be
found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or
message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able
to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and
Support for details. The following information is part of the event:
visualstudio7x80update; msiexec.exe; 1.0.1683.4989; kb979906; 1033; 64c; f;
install; x86; 5.1.2600.2.3.0.256; 0.

Some thing is wrong so I cannot do the update of any .Net.

Try running the Patch Registration Cleanup Tool -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976220

If no joy, then run the .NET Setup Verification Tool to see if the
installed .NET Frameworks can be Verified as properly installed -

If they can't, then see - Updated: what to do if other .NET Framework
setup troubleshooting steps do not help

Then neither KB982524 nor KB982168 are installed. That being said, both are
Optional, non-security updates which can be hidden.

1. Stop the Automatic Updates service:

Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Stop
(Stopping the service will take a moment)

2. Delete the contents of the Download folder:

Start > Run > (type in) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
Open the Download folder and delete its contents
Close the window.

3. Go to Windows Update website | Select CUSTOM and allow the scan to
complete | Uncheck/deselect KB982524 and KB982168 (and KB983583 & KB979909,
if still offered) then hide them ("Don't show me this update again").

4. Start the Automatic Updates service:

Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Start
(Starting the service will take a moment)
