After installation of the OS and drivers, I proceeded to Windows Update. I let WU update itself, but NOT install SP3 when given the choice. At some point during this process I was prompted to install the 3.1 installer which I allowed. After which, I installed SP3 from the standalone download. IE7 was installed after SP3 from a standalone download too. From that point forward no problems with Windows Update or installing new/old software and hardware. Including .net 1.1 & 2.0 and all it's patches.

I had done a fresh install of XP Professional with no service packs slipstreamed in. Then, applied SP2, followed by SP3. Had nothing else installed - including AV. Turned on automatic updates and was alerted to install KB898461. This update would not install. Downloaded the update manually from Microsoft and was able to install that way. Then, tried update.microsoft.com to see what other updates were available. Found 4 critical, including IE7. Attempting to install. All 4 failed. That's when I found your post. Followed your instructions -- here's a summary of what I did to get everything working. A few steps in your CMD window step were not needed.

1. Get the windows updater here and save to desktop:
»download.windowsupdate.com/Windo···eAgent30

2. Start, Run, CMD

Type these two commands in (one at a time) into the black window to install the update agent. The service will be started again after installation automatically:

net stop wuauserv

"%userprofile%\Desktop\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" /wuforce

I never thought something so simple would be so hard to find.......]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457685 Fri, 09 May 2008 15:20:22 EDT Re: [XP Pro] Updates Fail after Fresh Install and XP SP3 Loaded http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457551 bcastner : Yes, roughly.

It is that neither SP2 nor SP3 includes the updated Windows Update Agent.

Therefore if you do a clean install with an XP SP2 image you begin without the newer Update Agent. Since SP3 does not contain this either, at the end of the process you are still without the newer Update Agent.

Now Windows Update cannot work for on-demand access to obtain Hotfixes without the newer Update Agent installed. Hence, because of this "Catch-22", it led to reasoning by Microsoft to push this update to all with Automatic Windows Update enabled silently. Since they could use the Automatic Update mechanism of a client-server link with BITS, the update could be pushed out to clients without involving the Update Agent, only the Automatic Update service.

So with a specific fact case you can end up, as was the case here, without the newer Update Client, and no way to update this using Windows Update. The only choice is to wait and see if it gets pushed to you through Automatic Updates; or resolve the issue by downloading the newer Update Agent and installing it yourself.

Best wishes,
Bill Castner.

So the problem is that the Windows Update agent neededs to be updated, but because we did SP3 first instead of the WUA then the WUA got all confused and couldn't update itself then?

If a Search for wup2.dll returns nothing, then do not be concerned. wups2 is an update client proxy stub that 'marks' the location of updates from either Automatic Upates or Windows Updates; and when it's not registered (if present), the system can not install them because it can't find them.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20456948 Fri, 09 May 2008 12:54:34 EDT Re: [XP Pro] Updates Fail after Fresh Install and XP SP3 Loaded http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20456914 jferello : bcastner,

I was having the exact same issue that the OP was having, those 3 updates would not install.

I followed your directions up until the wup2.dll file and it said it failed to find the file.

So then I just tried the updates again for the heck of it and they worked, so all you need to do is just install that agent update.

Thanks for the wonderful help!

Certainly if wup2.dll is not registered, and your installation scenario suggests it will not be (see the KB Article I linked earlier), then that aspect has to be sorted.

This has nothing to do with SP3.

On a last note, the toughest installations I know of have been anything related to security or other updates to existing .NET Frameworks, and anything related to Windows Media Player. My own view of the matter is that any update that Windows Update shows an installation failure gets the redistributable download from Microsoft downloads and installed that way.

There is a complication with the .NET framework updates in particular, as they are dependent on their instalation success on another component -- MDAC. It is unlikely at this point in time that your MDAC versioning is correct. If necessary, we can manually correct that later based on your results with the first repair I suggested earlier. At some point the resolution of any issues will require posting at least a portion of the Windows Update LOG.

I do recall seeing only two updates show up (instead of the typical three) after XP SP2 completed installation (the update agent not included). I forgot about that slight change in the routine as I had noticed during that install...

I will give the workaround a try and let you know how goes.

Melvin,

Not sure if the manual install would resolve the update as I am not clear if the issue is with Windows/Microsoft Update knowing your patch version vs. a dependency associated with the Update Agent, which was not included in the first round of updates after a fresh install of XP SP2.

Keep you posted (most likely tomorrow since this gave me a headache).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20454063 Thu, 08 May 2008 21:48:24 EDT Re: [XP Pro] Updates Fail after Fresh Install and XP SP3 Loaded http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20453935 anon : This is definitely an issue with SP3, I had previously downloaded the standalone installer for SP3, ran it on clean install of SP2 and had the same experience you had. The last 3 updates you mention would not install! I chalked it up to a not ready for prime-time release of SP3, but today I did a clean install of XP SP2 and to my surprise I was offered SP3 from MS Update. I figured this was the real deal and I would have no issues, after install and reboot and next successful round of updates, the same 3 updates failed to install.

My workaround was to download the standalone installers for these 3 updates, these installed fine and MS Update no longer offers them to me. I did a search for the KB number for the 2 with KB's, the last I did a search for ".net 1.1 sp1"

My concern is "am I going to continue to have problems with MS Update?"

I will install Office 2003 and see if the updates for it come down and install.

I think MS is not done with SP3.

I'm sorry, this is simply not true.
.NET Frameworks are not cumulative; having .NET Framework 3 does nothing for an application written to a Framework 1 or 2.

.NET Frameworks are virtual machines. The software developer writes to the features and APIs of that virtual machine model. They are not compatible. An application written to the .NET Framwork 2 virtual machine, will not run if only .NET Framework 3 is installed.

A little over a year ago the Update Agent, a part of Windows Update and used at times by Windows Download, was silently upgraded. There was a lot of complaints about this being done silently at the time.

So now we have a clean install of XP SP2. Upgraded with Service Pack 3. But Service Pack 3 does not contain the updated Windows Update Agent.

Suggested Workaround:

1. Download the new Agent (but do not Run it yet) to your Desktop (so
you can find it below) :
X86 Version: »download.windowsupdate.com/Windo···-x86.exe

2. Start, Run, CMD

In the black box:

net stop wuauserv
"%userprofile%\Desktop\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" /wuforce
(don't forget the quotation marks)
regsvr32 "%windir%\system32\wup2.dll"
net start wuauserv
exit

I have not tried this; not attempted to replicate the issue. But my gut instinct when I read of a few complaining of the issue with Updates not installing was that it was related to the missing Update Agent 2.0. I know for a fact that the upgrade Windows Update Agent was not distributed with either SP2 or SP3.

My workaround is based on this KB:

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP installation
»support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

Note: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.
