Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vist

[Mitten]

Vista shows the IE remote exploit patch (Cumulative Security Update for
Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista Ultimate (KB950759) Download size: 7.4
MB ). I can't install it for number of days.

1. Downloading manually intializes the patch but fails install.

2. Auto update fails with an error: "WindowsUpdate_800B0100"
"WindowsUpdate_dt000"

This is a serious security issue and needs to be treated more serious. It
has not been fixed in days, I tried checking again for updates. In hopes
Microsoft uploaded a fix to its own patch. We will soon have more
compromised machines on the net. Even if antivirus, firewalls, malware
checkers are running. Because a big back door exit has been left open and
unlocked.

Why do you assume the problem's on Microsoft's end?

Do these machines update via WSUS or Windows Update?

Are these machines running Vista or Vista SP1? See...

Hello,

In my case it is a machine, sorry I was not clear on that. But all updates
go through fine but not this one. To answer your question: Windows update.
But I have the same error other users on this board have complained. Check
few threads before me. I made an attempt to check all the symptoms and they
are the same. I'm not the only one by chance with same issue. Just most
complain for "xp" and couple for vista. Type in my hotfix number to see.

I have updated to Vista SP1 fine without trouble at all. My system is very
vista capable and this i'm 75% sure is Microsofts bug!
-Thanks

I'll give the tool a try I like what I hear:

"System resources, such as file data, registry data, and even in-memory
data, can develop inconsistencies during the lifetime of the operating
system. These inconsistencies might be caused by various hardware failures or
might be caused by software issues. In some cases, these inconsistencies can
affect the Windows servicing store, and they can cause software updates not
to work. The System Update Readiness Tool tries to resolve these
inconsistencies."

That might be the only issue but again other users have same. So if it fixes
it I'll post back with a yes. of course also apologize to MS if it is a hot
headed estimate.
