update download fails

[wesleyj]

XP professional, system checks for needed updates, they are listed, install
is selected, the download window pops up, each download in turn then fails, i
have tried everything i can think of, non of the KB articles seem to deal
with this, there is no warning, no error code, it simply shows download
failed in the download box.

See if the information in this article helps. Note: While the title of the
article only mentions repair installation, it's been reported in these
newsgroups that the suggested fix may help when the issue occurs after a clean
installation.

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP installation

Good luck

Use my Svchosts Fix tool. Download it here
http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm if that does not fix it then
use the Automatic Update Repair Tool on the same page.

 

[wesleyj]

the .bat did it, i had already tried the KB article and the dial-a-fix, none
of those worked, thanx for the help.

It was not, the page now states that others created "some", and now
includes a copyright icon. Also, one must agree to an MS EULA before
downloading it.
In addition, this Version of the tool is BUGGY and is the PREVIOUS
Version, v76.

There is a subsequent Version, v77a, that has been pulled for review by
MS Program Managers. The real name of the tool is * AU Client and
WindowsUpdate Reset Tool (v77a) *
Here is the page where the author had made it available:

Sheeesh another stupid MVP troll. Where and when did I ever say that that
was mine, I never said that you just assumed it was was because I offered
it. Is something wrong with your reading comprehension? 77a has been pulled.
That means IT IS NOT AVAILABLE HELLO HELLO! IS ANYONE HOME KNOCK KNOCK. When
it because available I will update my site but until then version 76, which
"IS" still available will stay where it is. Now get lost.

"It" apparently thinks it's an MVP. It is not an MVP and never has been
one. Perhaps the bust of employees at Ames Research Lab for having child
pornography on their computers confused "it" ?
Oh wait, "it" doesn't work there anymore.

You said the 'Automatic Update Repair Tool' was yours before the author
of the tool contacted you and requested a change on your download page.
You *had* to add that others created " some tools " and the MS EULA
requirement prior to downloading the tool.
At the very least you could use the tool's name that the *author* gave
to it and not make one up ... AU Client and WindowsUpdate Reset Tool
http://www.codeplex.com/aureset/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=13656

What is particularly galling is that MS made the author of the tool pull
it for review but "it" still offer a BUGGY version of it with impunity.
Perhaps someone will contact MS Legal for an opinion on that.

Please note I did not write that script, but I forget where I got it from, I
wish I could give credit where it is due.
I'm glad I could help, everybody else is to busy with the pissing contest, I
think they should just stick to the issue at hand.

Liar. I never said that and the EULA was there from the beginning you were
just too stupid to notice it. I'll call it what ever I want now get lost.

You did in your own post:

"Use my Svchosts Fix tool. Download it here "

That tells people that it's YOUR tool, that you authored it or had
someone write it for you.

If you had said "Download a copy of the MS SVCHOSTS File Tool" you would
be correct, but you didn't.
