KB967715 update

Many times now, the update manager downloads and installs KB967715. Is
there something wrong with the installation and it tries to correct it?
Or what?

===============================
Maybe it would be worth a try to download
the update to your hard drive and install it
from there:

I have seen this happen as well and often times it's just that the WU
catalog file that knows which updates are and aren't installed needs a
proverbial kick in the pants to tell it you already have or don't have
the needed update.

Check your C:\Windows folder for the versions below (based on SP
level) and if you have the update already installed, go to Windows
update and then select the box below where it says Don't Show Me This
Update again. Eventually when a newer catalog file gets published and
pushed out via WU, it should correct your issue automagically.

Hi Eustace,

You're not alone. I wrote regarding the same thing during the last
update cycle (or maybe the one before), and faced that on reboot on a
lot of workstations. What a pain MS made out of a simple procedure.
After verifying it had in fact completed, if it was still persistent, I
disabled it from asking using the options in Windows Update.

Why are you asking the wrong newsgroup?

I reckon you can get it installed properly, if it is not installing
properly figure out why and fix the problem so it will install
properly, tell Windows to stop bothering you (if it is really
installed), or fool Windows into thinking it has been installed when
it really has not.

If it keeps trying to install and doesn't finish, WIndows will
consider it uninstalled and try again. It really wants you to be up
to date, but maybe you don't want or need the updates or it is really
installed and you know it is.

Name your poison.

Thanks. That did the trick.

Eustace,

Why are you asking the wrong newsgroup?

microsoft.public.windowsupdate

Because I am only subscribed to this windows newsgroup, and thought that
my question was general enough.
