Microsoft Windows 2000
Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (KB891861)"
This is a new install on a previously-formatted hard drive. There is nothing
on the PC apart from Windows & other items from Windows update. I tried
downloading the exe & running that , but it failed too
Any suggestions welcome!

Download and install the EXE version. If you have problems, do it in Safe Mode.

drive WINNT Folder. In each case the wizard started, inspected the
configuration, backed up files & got as far as starting to back up the
Registry. Then I got a screen popup "Update Rollup Setup Error.....Update
Rollup Setup Cancelled".
Any ideas? All I can think of doing now is to reformat the HDD & start
again, or can I try anything else? I've previously installed this rollup
without problems on other PC's in our office with similar hardware/software
configurations.....Thanks!!!

then towards the end there is an access denied message and fails.
Thanks David for your suggestion, though. I guess we'll keep searching for a
solution.

from a CD with W2K & SP4. On another PC, I downloaded the update rollup &
copied it to a clean CD. Then right afer installing windows, before I set up
any device drivers or LAN setup, I installed the rollup from CD & it worked.
I then istalled the device drivers, LAN setup, etc. The PC has hung a few
times but I'm making progress.
Bad news: Windows Update still tells me the rollup isn't installed. I tried
installing MDAC2.8 to fix this, as per another post, but it's still showing
as uninstalled on Windows update although in Control Panel>Add/Remove
programs it's shown as installed. I can probably live with this....

I think it was *both* the MDAC update and the latest service pack for
MSXML 3.0 which Dave Hawley found necessary to apply as pre-requisites
for the rollup.

the next time....
Thanks, Ian

Thanks for the feedback. This changes the idea of what the problem is.
E.g. perhaps it is not just a case of missing prerequisites (undocumented
or otherwise) but that reinstalling them acts as a repair? In any case we
now have one more possibility to suggest thanks to your experience.

get the rollup to install, even after following all the suggestions given, I
hit on the amazing idea of temporarily disabling Norton Internet Security
(2004). That did the trick and everything came right with all subsequent
downloads slotting right in.
Might be worth a try with your firewall?

to install it again. Base line security scanner says it isn't installed.
Installed MDAC 2.8 and updated it and also MSXML 3 SP7 and still does that
same
thing.

Then you're going to have to do more of the same sort of diagnosis
and analysis that Dave Hawley did in the first place just to find the
set of omissions that he found. At least you have an MBSA which
tells you that things aren't quite right. In his case only the old version
of MBSA could give him the clue.

Look in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\TextConv\ for a file
named html32.cnv. If it's missing, you will get stuck in this loop. If you
cannot copy the file from a known good machine, running the latest Office
Service Pack should replace it.
This IS a security issue and MS will offer free support to consumers for
this issue (i.e. you're running W2K PRO, and not any flavor of server).
