Hi, windows (update) does not install Spyware removal (KB890830) every month, silverlight updates and some updates of other applications like the last dropbox update. I download these updates from the site, drag them to the temp folder and install from there. That works. Other (Windows) updates do install fine. But it is a monthly annoying thing so if anyone can help ... that would be great. Thanks Stekel

Hello, proceed like that: Disable all security softwares Run chkdsk /r /g and sfc /scannow Download and install System Update Readiness tool for Windows 7 Reset Windows update Components Once done, check again. If this does not help, perform a repair install of your OS. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hi MR X I tried that. chkdsk /g gave: invalid parameter. sfc /scannow: no problem. I installed System Update Readiness tool for Windows 7 This did not solve the problem yet. Now I have to Reset Windows update Components. How do I do this? Thanks, Stekel

Hi, The codes are 1 and 656. I tried the light version and that didnt help. Ill try the aggressive fix later today. Thanks, Stekel

Hi everybody Thanks so far. The agressive fix seems to work. Updates Spyware removal (KB890830) and silverlight are now installed! However this new update is not installed: KB2478663: Security update voor Microsoft .NET Framework 4 op Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7 en Windows Server 2008 x86 Error code 1: unknown Any suggestions? Thanks, Stekel

Hi, I suggest you install the standalone package to see the result: Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 If this issue persists, try to download the .NET Framework 4 package, then check the how it works: Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer) Alex Zhao Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Hi Thanks I installed the second one. In the first I didnt know which of the 3 options to chose. The second looked like the full version. But I still have 3 updates related to security update Microsoft .Net Framework 4 .. windows ... x86: KB 2518870 KB2478663 KB2416472 Did I miss a clue? Help is appreciated! Regards, Peter

On Vista I can check the Application Log and filter on: Level: Information Source: MsiInstaller EventID: 1022 That should show all successful installation/updates. If your updates are found in there then it's safe to hide them in Windows Update. Because I found the information above in the Event Log I hide these updates in “Windows Update” by clicking with the right button and hide... Erhy

Thanks I tried to find this. I use Windows 7. I didnt find "Application log". I found history in Windows update and installed updates in the control panel. I guess thats not the same? Regards, Peter

Start the Event Viewer (e.g. via Administration Tools) to list the log. Erhy
