Problems with installing updates KB943411 and KB935509

[Guest]

I'm running Vista Ultimate (x86) on a Dell laptop. I can't install the two
critical updates KB943411 and KB935509. Have shut down firewall/AV and other
unnecessary stuff. Also have tried installing them individually. No luck.
Never had an update fail before and it's frustrating the hell out of me (and
Vista has been doing for a couple of months, really).

Anyone had any luck in getting these updates installed? Any advice?

For what it's worth I've the same problem. Using msconfig to start with all
non-MS services and all startup apps disabled (including FW and AV) made no
difference.

Vista Ultimate (x86) on a custom PC with Intel 975X MB, SATA (AHIC,
non-raid) HDs and Nvidia 8800 GT video. No hidden/uninstalled updates other
than language packs. BitLocker pre-config tool installed but BitLocker not
enabled.

Has anyone encountered this and found a fix? The "I had no problems" voices
aren't much help.

I have problems too. First all 7 latest updates failed.
I noticed that KB905866 has different error code than other updates.
I installed all other but KB905866 and then updating was successful.
Then I tried to install KB905866 alone. But after several tries KB905866
failed every time to error 8000405.

I have Vista Ultimate x64. Athlon X2 4200 and Radeon graphics.

I make searching with Google and find some other people with same problems,
but no solution yet. Someone think it is bitlocker. I don't understand whole
Bitlocker at all. I never used it for nothing and I think I don't need it.
Maybe i still have it in use somewhere in hidden?

Have exactely the same problem and is driving me crazy because I try to
reinstall it a lot of time.

My laptop is an Acer 7720G and I have windows Vista Ultimate in French.

Thanks for response to fix the problem.

Oh no! Now I noticed that I used wrong number here. It is KB935509, not
KB905866, where my problem is. Just like it reads at subject. Anyway I still
try to find a solution.

I re-posted this problem in the Windows Update section of this forum in hope
that someone there might see it. Someone did.

The suggestion was made to uninstall (not disable via msconfig) Comodo
firewall. That did the trick for me. Re-installing afterwards seemed to go
fine.

KB935509 has something to do with bootloader.

I have two harddisks. Disk A I have Vista, Suse 6.3 Linux and
Grub-bootloader. This is my normal boot-disk. I have drive B where is XP and
Vista own bootloader for XP-Vista (Vista is still on disk A) selection. Today
I boot from drive B and KB935509 installed without problems.

I select drive A again to my boot-disk and Vista started well. Good, but I
wonder what happens to SP1-installation when available. Maybe KB935509 makes
something to bootloader and that modification is now on wrong disk.

I have 2 partitions, first - marked as active - with Linux (Fedora 8)
and bootloader GRUB, second - with Vista. I have the same problem. But
when I'm marked second partition as bootable this update installed
without problem.

For me it was the Comodo Firewall V3.0.14.276. Comodo released an upgrade
V3.0.14.277 on 1/11 that fixes everything...a fast response and a great
firewall.

Very very frustrating with KB943411 and no answer to the problem, even
Microsoft don't listen to us. I tried everything and we just have to wait
till the Vista Team will hear us......................

I have the same problem on my Lenovo t61p running vista 32 business. It is
driving me nuts as it reboots constantly. Microsoft team: please escalate,
this is clearly a bug in the install script of these updates.

You might have to uninstall the version you have and reinstall the latest
update. The update resolved two issue: Windows updates and Comodo's own
firewall updates.

I don't have Comodo Firewall, it must be something else....it makes me
mad...Wish Microsoft would help us out
