I attempted several Windows XP Updates on October 15,
2003, and they appear on "View Installation History" as
Failed. But I can't retry the updates because they don't
show up when I "Scan for Updates." How can I retry the
updates? Some of them are critical.
 
If Updates fail to install:-
If you receive a 643 error message or a message indicating that Windows
Update was unable to complete the operation. This may occur if the catalog
database (Edb.log) is damaged.
Try this:-
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
del /q "%SystemRoot%\System32\Catroot2\Edb.log
This command will force the catalog database to rebuild itself.
