I was asked to repost to other newsgroups as I did not last week...

I wanted to step back and make sure we have the signature updating mechanism
in place and working for all the beta testers. To make sure we are firing in
all cylinders, I am asking any user to let me know if signatures are not
downloading and installing for them. One caveat is that users behind SUS or
WSUS servers may be running into issues set by their system admins, so I
cannot help there. However, home users and others not behind corporate
update servers please let me know your signature woes (if any). My contact
information is below; just drop the "online" from the email.

Yes it works but it is really slow loading and you think it has timed out and
lost the connection. It would help if Microsoft posted the latest version
number on its website so you knew it was the correct definition version

I have been unable to install the last two definition updates (1.14.1530.8
and 1.14.1525.2) both give the same errors (0x80070643 as shown in Event
Viewer).

If rather than using Windows Update or Microsoft Update I instead ask
Windows Defender itself to get the update then I get a different error as
follows -

"Windows Defender was unable to complete the update: 0x80240022: The wrong
diskette is in the drive. Insert %2 (Volume Serial Number: %3) into drive %1.

I have tried uninstalling Windows Defender, redownloading and reinstalling
it (several times now) and this makes no difference. I have also tried
removing all registry entries relating to Defender (before reinstalling it),
and I have also removed the downloaded definition updates so as to force
another download.

I have also tried the steps detailed in
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=915105

Note: Each time Microsoft Update does show the file has been downloaded
successfully, it is the installation that fails each time.

When you reinstall Defender you start off back at definition update version
1.00. If I 'hide' the two definition updates (listed above) in Microsoft
Update then it finds the next oldest one which is 1.14.1521.63 and it _DOES_
successfully download and install this version.

Note: my machine had until the two versions listed above, been updating
Defender for several weeks successfully (ever since I first installed it).

Currently my Windows Defender versions are as follows

Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1347.0
Engine Version: 1.1.1481.0
Definition Version: 1.14.1521.63

My machine is on a home network so it is not behind any SUS or WSUS server.

John--this is excellent information. If you didn't email Steve Dodson
directly with it, I'd urge you to do so--stevedod @ microsoft.com

Puzzled. Windows update, when i ran it, said there was an update for
Defender. I downloaded it. I got an error notice that said it did NOT
install. When I look at the definition version, engine and version, they all
are the most current - i.e. those listed on this site as of 7/18 (def.
1.14.1530.8; version 1.1.1347.0; engine version 1.1.1508.0). So it appears
that despite the error message, it did update.

And..... in spite of having it listed in services, and permitted under the
firewall settings (xp), and trying to turn it off, then on, or change times,
it will STILL still not run automatically.
