I am unable to install the updates below
Anyone have any ideas?

Could it be anti-virus/firewall preventing install?

I suggest you try this workaround for Windows Update issues...

How to Repair the Windows Update Files.

1. Go Start > Run.
2. In the box type REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL > Enter.
3. A message saying, "DllRegisterServer in WUAPI.DLL succeeded" will appear > OK.
4. Now it is necessary to repeat these steps for each of the following files commands:
Hit Enter after each line

REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL
REGSVR32 ATL.DLL
REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL
REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL

Once finished; since the temporary folder of Windows Update may be corrupted, please carry out the following steps to rename the folder:

1. Go Start > Run > in the box type cmd > Enter.

Type the following command in the open panel.

net stop WuAuServ

(Please Note: the computer may need to be rebooted before the net stop command will work.)

2. Go Start > Run > type in the box %windir% > Enter.
3. In the opened folder, rename the folder ( by Right clicking) SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.
4. Go Start > Run > type in cmd > Enter. In the open command pane, please type:

net start WuAuServ

Once that’s done, Go Start > All Programs > Windows Updates and see if it will allow the downloading/installation of Windows Updates.

Post back with the results.

Kind Regards,

Hi Svillie
I managed to get half the updates downloaded and installed
I don't understand the commands but they worked on some of them

Following downloads have not worked:

Win UP Updates

Hey Abarbarian
Also tried that as well. Some of them help to solve problem

 

[Abarbarian]

I posted because some of those updates are not for the Windows XP opereating system . They are for Office or some other windows product . So if you are trying to install them in the os they will not install as they are meant as updates for the othere products .

 

[mancub]

Thanks Abarbarian
That makes sense
They are to do with Office updates
