I received a failure while trying to install KB913446. Error Code: 0x80242006.

Since this is a critical update, is there a workaround?

Thanks,
David

I received the same error, haven't found a solution yet.

I have the same problem, but not getting any error code, just says failed to
install. I cannot find anything in the knowledge base. One of the post says
to manually install it, but I can't even find the page to manually install.
 
I just read Dave's post up above to go to Downloads and download it manually
as a standalone installation. I was able to install it successfully this way
after four failed attempts trying to use the Microsoft Update Site. Good
luck!
 
Today Dave commented courteously on the subject at hand
Go download the update manually and install it. I did that
and it went fine that way.

I just got a notice for 5 updates for XP Pro SP2, but this one
isn't among them. For what version(s) does it apply?

Never got it, and I don't believe in looking for trouble. I do
download "critical updates" and "security" patches, but look
very carefully at each one. Occasionally, I will bypass
updates because I believe they will do me more harm than good.
e.g., the one-time malware detection tool - not!

Windoze somehow turned auto update on sometime last night and
installed their patches despite my refusal to let it download
because I was busy doing useful work at the time. Apparently,
my bud Bill got tired of me ignoring his pleas of "I'm from M
$ and here to help you" with his little exclamation point sign
in my systray and overrode my settings. I don't like that. I
/never/ allow unfettered access to my PC, and I install the
patches one at a time so I can back it out if anything goes
wrong.

People should look askance at this stuff because "Microsoft
Security" and "critical update" are two classic oxymorons in
the best tradition of "military intelligence" and "postal
service". I learn a lot in these NGs but have never gotten
anything useful from an MVP, largely because they are such
shills for the company that they're blind to the software's
many shortcomings. Just because M$ is big, does not make it
great.

Meanwhile, I've re-turned off auto update and will keep a
careful eye should Bill come again at 11:00PM with another
gift for me.
 
I never use Automatic Updates. I start the Automatic Updates service and
BITS service once a month so I can visit Windows Update and see what I want
to download and install. Then I stop those services and disable them until
next month.

Automatic Updates and the BITS services have to be running to get Windows
Update to work.

I got two Updates yesterday, kb913446 & KB911565.

I also delete the contents of the POS C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution folder
after I am through with updates. And I delete all of the logs that WU
recreates. comsetup.log, FaxSetup.log, iis6.log, imsins.log, MedCtrOC.log,
msgsocm.log, msmqinst.log, netfxocm.log, ntdtcsetup.log, ocgen.log,
ocmsn.log, tabletoc.log, tsoc.log and WindowsUpdate.log

Don't read much, do you? I know of about two MVPs who'd fit that
description.

Maybe you accidentally clicked the Turn on Automatic Updates button at WU.

When you're done with WU for the month, stop and disable Automatic Updates
and the BITS services.

Also...
Paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK...

control Sysdm.cpl,System,5

Either set to Turn off Automatic Updates, like I have it.

Or set to Notify me but don't automatically download or install them.

Then you won't get surprised.

I still haven't got the first one, the one everybody's been

wrt Autoupdates, I found out to my chagrin that it was Norton
System Works Security Center and not my bud Bill that'd turn
Auto update back on. Seems like I clicked before reading when
I got a securiy alert from Norton with a "fix it now" button.
Both Norton and SP2 are like the classic "I'm here from the

First Amendment rights to ignore their advice.

Thanks for the many tips, Wes. I normally have Auto update set
to "notify me but don't download" because I found I always
forgot to do a daily check manually. What I didn't like was
when it did the full download and install in the background. I
only found out when XP wanted to restart Windoze. Live and
learn, every day is a new adventure.

Wes, I have always been an advid computer geek, albeit with
limits on my knowledge and experience. That goes back to my
FORTRAN and Apple ][ days, DOS, and Win 3.1. About 1995, after
25 years of pain, frustration, and self-inflicted expense, it
suddenly dawned on me that computers are nothing but very
fast, very sophisticated adding machines whose only real
purpose is to do useful work for me.

Almost overnight, I shut down my "hobby" and life got both
simpler and happier. I now no longer hose myself regularly
buying the latest version of everything and downloading every
patch or driver update. Now, I fall back on the old saw "if it
ain't broke, don't try to fix it." The only flaw in that
argument is that the only people never to have been
compromised by a bad guy are those who are ignorant or just
plain arrogant.

Thanks a 3rd time, and you have a good Hump Day, hear?!

Just blow it away. Of course it makes Windows Update take longer, but I
don't need all of that crap on my machine. It gets recreated. All of those
logs get recreated or added for Windows Update and Add or Remove Windows
Components. SoftwareDistribution folder gets recreated by WU.
and I don't have to agree, we just see things through a
different set of sunglassess.

Well I for one do not use or recommend anything Windows Live, or MS
AntiSpyware or Windows Defender as I guess it is now called, POS. I also
recommend disabling many of the worthless POS services that MS decided that
we needed in XP. I also do not have the POS SP2, although I will have to
get that POS before the end of August if I want to continue getting Critical
Updates. I do not have any of that dotNET crap either.

Well, we certainly agree here! I don't beta test for free, and
sure as hell will never beta something as dangerous as an O/S
or some hair-brained "military intelligence" equivalent -
"Microsoft Security."

I fought SP2 for a year but decided to go with it on my new
PC. It is indeed a bloated POS. I may have commented here, I
know I did somewhere, despite doubling my CPU power and a
significant upgrade in HD space, and from 512 meg to 4 gig of
memory, SP2 runs no faster than SP1 did on my older PC. Of
course, the new stuff I've need to buy or upgrade to for best
results with SP2 are themselvess bloated and slow. Like Norton
2006. Yeah, I should practice what I preach more and never
bought it.

As to being forced to go to SP2, I doubt it. My wife's Win 98
SE machine still gets critical updates. Every year, Bill the
Gates says he'll drop support for 98, but stil hasn't. He's an
arrogant bastard, true, but a consumate businessman. There's
no upside to pissing off his current customers to the point
where they might do something really silly, like buy their
next PC loaded with Linux.

The company you shill for has been saying that for years and
years. Maybe support will stop, or maybe it won't. Again,
there's no upside to stopping support and pissing off
customers who can't or won't upgrade their O/S is there? In my
case, I can't wait to get my wife off that POS 98. But, when
she gets my older PC, it /will/ be staying SP1.

I thought after a year of "watchful waiting" that SP2 would be
OK for me. Not. Bloated, huge, slow POS. But, I can't roll it
back, so I have to live with it, or suffer though untold pain
nuking, reinstalling, and getting my old hardware and old
software running again.

I commented before that I now with twice the CPU, 8 times the
memory, and a HD maybe 50% faster, Windoze - accent on
"doze" - is slower than SP1. Worse, it kills HD access times
on things as simple as just getting a folder contents list
after it'd been rolled out of some cache, either on my 3-
partition HD or my 2-partion external.

SP2-only apps are also bloated, slow, huge, POS as well. And,
to it's main purpose - sucurity - if SP2 is "protecting" me,
he's awfully quiet. I would have thought I'd see a list of all
the ports available and selectively be able to turn them on
and off. But, when I looked, it's just a blank page. Now how
the hell would I know how many there are, much less which ones
to close and which ones to leave open?

Sorry, Wes, after some 5 months of experience, I am not a fan
of SP2 and tell anyone who asks /not/ to upgrade an otherwise
OK SP1 system.
 
Jerry, I had SP2 for a real short time. I uninstalled the SOB. I hated it.
Don't consider me a fan of SP2.

I know that the deal with SP2 was supposed to be security, that's why there
are 5 to 10 Critical Updates every month. LOL

I don't follow, Wes. You're in here giving advice on an O/S you
don't personally use? It doesn't matter why you dumped SP2, I
simply don't understand an MVP /not/ running the current
flagship product, if for no other reason, to feel the pain
personally and personally be able to try and duplicate the
problems/questions of posters here.

If you had to live your life as many of us do, with slowness and
a constant fight to maintain our independence from Bill the
Gates trying to force us into his mold, you'd be a much better
MVP, but then, you already know I'm not a real fan of that
crowd, even though things I've said come under the category of
stereotypes and sweeping generalazations based on unfounded
asssumptions.
