OK I open the update log and noticed the mention
Ee Hndlr FATAL MSI.DLL version 3.0 version 3.1 is required.
I made a research and find in
C:\windows\sytem32 msi.dll version file 3.0.3790.2180 2.67 MB
C:\windows\software distribution msi.dll version file 3.1.4000.2435 2.75 MB
Out of that every time I install the update from differnt Microsoft sites I
have at the end a warning to tell me that the update was not installed.
Thanks for your help

Did you try manually downloading the latest installer and installing it?

 

[andrede32]

The error message after I click update say :
updates were unable to be successfully installed.
I reboot and again I have a message to say that update are ready to be
downloaded.

This morning I decided to remove the old version of msi.dll inside system 32
and to copy and paste the new version coming from software distribution.
After thay I try to reinstall the update and happy ending it works.
Thanks anyway for your help
