Update: KB938371 Failing Install

[Dag Magnus Bardal]

Now I did get the errorcode again when I tried to install.
'Code 80004005'.
And yes, I allready have SP1 installed.

Why don't you you just hide the update? Then you'll never have to see it
again.

You can download and install the update manually, it improves performance
and reliability for Vista's installation software.

As for the error code, I thought MS had fixed this bug by now. If you
experience it again in the future, the only known remedy is to temporarily
disable System Restore for all drives, reboot, reenable System Restore and
attempt to update anew.

Turn System Restore on or off:

I've tried this as well.
Downloading it manually then installing, it still doesnt work.
I have to try the system restore disabling tho

 

[Dag Magnus Bardal]

Tried it all now.
Downloading the update from microsoft and installing -> failed
Disabling System Restore, Rebooting, Enabling, Installing -> failed

I'm starting to run out of options now.
I searched google as well, Newsgroups were my last resort.
But it seems I more or less stuck here now.

Then I am fresh out of ideas too.

Vista SP1 installs all necessary prerequisites if they are not already
present. Since you have SP1, this means you should have up-to-date Windows
installation components on your computer. I do not think it is imperative to
get the issue sorted out.

I suggest you just take Mark's advice; hide this KB for now. (Btw, it might
be a good idea anyhow, some users have reported this update to cause
connection problems with USB devices.)

I don't know if this will help, but try installing the Check SUR tool. This
is the overview download link from MS.

I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 Intregated,
and when I ran updates I failed at installing one update;
'KB938371'.

I did some searching, and it seems this is only for those who wants to
install SP1 via the Windows Update Service?

If thats the case, why does it show?
And if that is not the case, why doesnt it install?

I've tried to reboot, then installing only that update.
Downloading the update and executing, downloaded -> rebooted -> installing.
But nothing works.

Am I doing anything wrong?
I know of sevaral people having this problem tho, but what is it? and is
there a fix?

The errorcode is:
Well, um. I did get a error code.
But now I get 'Not needed: 1 update'.

Any way to remove this update or installing it?
