MSAS kills windows update?

Hi,

when in instaled MSAS i had a problem with the firewall,
which was resolved by using that netsh command thingo.

however, i have noticed that windows updates now refuse
to work. what happens is that the file downloads (doesnt
matter which update, they all fail in teh same way) when
it gets to 100% downloaded, it says verifying, then the
update starts downloading again with an extra 100kb to
go, this gets tp 100%, verifies, then grows by 100kb,
then continues downloading again, repeat ad infinitum.

i ran filemon and saw that what's happening is when it
creates the blob file it gets access denied when reading
it, it's using NT-AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

why post here? well, seems to be tied in with when in
installed it (more specifically when i completed my first
cleanup). uninstalling doesnt fix it.

hopfully someone's ligh bulb will get lit, and we can
work out what happened.

thanks!
Rich

net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
net start cryptsvc

Hi, thanks for that suggestion. as it turns out, it was a
bug in the mcafee antivirus cuasing it (disabling the on
access scan didnt remove the problem)

there is a patch available for supported users on their
website.

MSAS is innocent! :)

cheers
Rich
