Cannot Install Updates with XP Pro

[Martin]

After serveral years with XP HE, I recently updated to XP PE. When running
Microsoft Update, I get a list of required updates. I am able to download
them and verify them, but they will not install. They ALL fail almost
immediately. Any ideas what might be happenning? Did I miss some settings.

Thanks for the help.

The issue is usually caused by corrupted system DLL files try the following:

1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer
2. Click Start and Run, type "REGSVR32 ATL.DLL" (without quotes) in open box
and click OK.
Note: There is a space between REGSVR32 and ATL.DLL

3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:

REGSVR32 MSXML3.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL
REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL
REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL
REGSVR32 QMGR.DLL
REGSVR32 QMGRPRXY.DLL
REGSVR32 JSCRIPT.DLL

You should get a "succeeded" message.
If this doesn't work, re-post a message letting me know and we'll try
something else.

Go to Start > Run > type in

cmd
Click OK or press Enter
Enter the following commands pressing Enter after each one:

net stop wuauserv
regsrvr32 wups2.dll
net start wuauserv
exit

Restart the system and the updates will install now.
