Hello,I am having trouble getting sce to install updates on the client system, I am testing the sce software on one client. The updates that were approved have downloaded to the test system but have not installed. There are at least 50 new folders created on the clients system. Also If I go to the client and shut the system down the client tries to install some updates but after abount an hour waiting the updates never install. Can someone please help me get sce to install updates on my client system?Thanks

Hi, What is the Operations System on the client machine? From your description, it seems that Automatic Updates service caused the problem. Please try to re-register the Windows Update dll files to resolve it: 1. Run CMD.exe and launch the commands below: regsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wuweb.dllregsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wups2.dllregsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wups.dllregsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wucltui.dllregsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wuaueng1.dllregsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wuaueng.dllregsvr32.exe c:\winnt\system32\wuapi.dll 2. Restart the Automatic Updates service. If the above steps cannot help, check if any error message in the windowsupdate.log from %windir% on the client machine. Thanks,Yog Li - MSFT

Thank you for your reply,the client I am testing has windows xp pro sp3 and I did follow your suggestion (using c:\windows instead ofc:\winnt)and I tested the client again and the client hasn't installed nor downloaded the approved update.I checked the windowsupdate log and there is no mention of the approved update.Is there something else I am missing?

Hi,Did you run the command"wuauclt /detectnow" on the agent after the updates approved?Did you use anyproxy serverwithout the proper rules?Is this client shown as Healthy in the SCE console? Could you test on another agent?Thanks,Yog Li - MSFT

ok, it seems like the update did install, I needed to go to wsus to accept the agreement for windows xp sp3 in addition to the steps you provided. Now I have a lot of warnings that state script or executable failed to run for the health service.
