Hello,
When I clicked on the first link for the first time, my Automatic Updates
settings tab showed me a SUES client interface.
Then I used the second link, and it updated the Windows Update software on
my machine. I had previously not updated the Windows Update software and I
was still using the "Windows" Update and not the "Microsoft" Update. It also
created two objects in the "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files" folder.
Then I continued updating, and it identified 3 "High Priority" patches to be
installed. It downloaded all 3 and then successfully installed one of them
while two other patches failed.
Then I deleted two objects from the "C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files"
folder which were newly created. I tried updating again and encountered two
failures again. Corresponding entries for these four failures and one
success were made in the Event Viewer System Log.
Now in the "Downloaded Program Files" folder, the two objects I deleted no
longer appear, hence I cant give you their size and version.
Also, on invoking the Automatic Updates settings tab now, it shows me a WSUS
client interface.
I think the problem is with some kind of access permissions. Because if i
login to this machine using the id and password of domain administrator, the
updates shall be successfully installed.
Regards,
Victory
