SP2 Update Errors

[Eric]

I just installed service pack 2 and when I went to the windows update site I
found several critical updates. Some of them will not install properly.

It appears to get stuck on downloading where it appears to indefinitely
continue to download.

Here is a an excerpt from a log

Hi

See if this helps:

Clean out the Download folder (WU5's temporary download folder)
located here:

%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\

(%windir% is typically C:\Windows)

You can use the procedure described here:

http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5consumer/showarticle.aspx?articleid=11&ln=en

You might need to delete the DataStore folder mentioned in the link
above, as well as the Download folder.

Note that a side effect of deleting the DataStore folder is that you
lose your WU v5 History listing (not critical).

Thank you. That worked. It seems that I have to do that each time though.
