KB 955302 error code 8007371C failure in VISTA SP1 32 BITS
matthew steward
Comodo 3 FW (v.378)
AVAST HOME EDITION v. 4.8.1229
SpySweeper v. 5.8 (build 55)
ST, SAS, A2antimalware on demand scanners
SpywareBlaster 4.1
IE 8 b2
I'd like a fix for this issue as I tried even removing my Comodo3 FW and
with resident protection AV OFF and downloading the setup from microsoft web
sites but it just won't install and constantly asks to install itself.
Contacted the microsoft support without success.

IE8 Beta 2, you're right: You won't be able to uninstall IE8 Beta 2 or IE8
Beta 1 without first uninstalling Vista SP1.
2. If, however, you installed Vista SP1 without having installed IE8 Beta 1,
you will be able to uninstall IE8 Beta 2.
If #1 is the case, the only good news is that you'll be able to install IE8
Final Release.
Back to your problem, please answer the following by number, not inline...
1. Does disabling (or even uninstalling) Comodo Firewall AND THEN enabling
the Windows Firewall allow KB955302 to install?
2. Are you getting an error similar to "configuring updates stage 3 of 3. 0%
complete"? (cf. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358)
3. Did you install Vista SP1 via Windows Update or manually?
>>> Comodo 3 FW (v.378)
>>> AVAST HOME EDITION v. 4.8.1229
>>> SpySweeper v. 5.8 (build 55)
>>> ST, SAS, A2antimalware on demand scanners
>>> SpywareBlaster 4.1
4. Were all of the above fully disabled (including "real-time protection"
components/services of all anti-spyware applications) and was the Windows
Firewall enabled when you installed WinXP SP3 and/or any IE8 Beta build?
>>> Contacted the microsoft support without success.
5. Explain.
Unlimited installation and compatibility support for Vista SP1 is available
at no charge through 18 Mar-09. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx | select Windows Vista |
select Windows Vista Service Pack 1

I'm on Vista Sp!, I upgraded from Vista Home Premium. I only have AVAST and
SpySweeper on RP and they were all turned off. Now ST and A-2antimalware are
loading services the same when windows start but I did not check in Process
manager. I can only say their RP is turned OFF as I run them as on-demand
scanners. Spywareblaster wasn't disabled but I don,t think it's the problem.
I'd say it's IE9 b2 and would like to know how to get back to IE7. I tried
uninstalling this update in Safe Mode with the same bad result.

Yes, Support there is slow and non-efficient. I emailed the guy and wait for
an answer but I am hoping faster solutions in this newsgroup

If you, in fact, installed IE8 Beta 1 or Beta 2 *before* you installed Vista
SP1, you'll have to uninstall Vista SP1 before you'll be able to uninstall
IE8 Beta 2.

I installed IE8 b2 from IE7 on Vista SP1 and I tried to uninstall the
update but it doesn't work. The uninstall can't complete.

SP1:
=> Post the verbatim error message you get when trying to uninstall IE8 Beta
2.
=> See both parts of the section "How to uninstall Internet Explorer 8 Beta
2" here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949787
=> Do you use a "Registry cleaner"? Have you used one since you installed
IE8 Beta 2? If so, you're out of luck.
=> Post about this issue in the IE Beta newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.beta
NB: The only IE8 Beta support for non-US/CA residents is in that newsgroup.
You may end up having to reinstall Vista; such are the risks of installing
beta software.
The only possibly good news in all of this is that you should be able to
install the final release of IE8.

whenever I try to uninstall IE 8 b2
I installed IE8 b2 after installing Vista SP1 (from Vista Home Premium) but
from IE 7;
I use a lot of registry cleaners:
I used Comodo beta registry cleaner
I'm using MV Reg Clean 5.5
I use CCleaner
I use Advanced Windows Personal Care
I use Glary
I use Auslogic Registry Defragmentor;
I'm going to post. I'm a CA residentnews:eJ6Xgz3F...@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...

Think your Registry needs "cleaning" or "repairing"? Read
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.
Any one of the above deleted the IE8 Beta 2 uninstall files. Without this
data, you cannot uninstall IE8 Beta 2. The only way to remove IE8 Beta 2
now is to format & reinstall Vista and all Vista updates including Vista SP1
(if the machine didn't come with Vista SP1 preinstalled).
On the other hand, you should be able to install IE8 final release.
NB: The free IE8 Beta Support for US and CA residents
(http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=12357) is going to tell
you the same thing so don't bother calling.
==================================
Off Topic: I'd advise you to disable email scanning by your anti-virus
application to avoid Windows Mail problems. It provides no additional
protection and even Symantec says it's not necessary:
<QP>
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

patch on 2 PCs with IE8b2 on and PCTOOLS FW instead of COMODO3 FW. Since
COMODO already did this to me in the past, I'm going to remove it all
cleanly and that is my last chance. I'll keep IE8 b2 because I like it
better than IE7 and it's stable. I'll let you know.news:e87h20A...@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...

Try some diagnosis? Have you looked at the logs which the install process creates for clues?
You could use ProcMon to supplement them if necessary.

Robert, have you read this entire thread? Have you seen all of the Registry
cleaners this OP has used?
