Hello Sir, I want to install hotfix KB2553549 on my server (Platform:Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard). When installing fix, it pops out a window shows the update is not applicable to my computer. And I check event viewer, the error message is ""Windows update could not be installed because of error 2149842967". I've checked there is no installed updates on my server. May I inquire is there any other issues may cause this problem? Thanks a lot for your help~

Hello, Thanks for your response. This server cannot run Windows Update since it only connects to the private network in our company. Therefore, it never ran Windows update since it moved into our company. Is this possible the cause of why I cannot install hotfix? Thanks a lot for your kindly help~
