So how do I get to go to %WINDOWS%|SoftwareDistribution\Download
where do I type it in?
I thank you for your help, I am sorry I have to be told things step by step.
Yes, I know I am rather new at this.

Hello Steve,

Go to COMPUTER

Double click C:

Open the folder WINDOWS

Search for the folder SOFTWARDISTRIBUTION and open it.

Look for the folder DOWNLOAD and open.

Delete ALL the content. (Keep the folder DOWNLOAD)

Reboot
-=-

Use Disk Cleanup which is built into Windows Vista.
Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Clean.

That is all Steve.

I am completely agree with Engel,
and, more, you can use an external utility like PortUp
(www.portableupdate.com) to completely control your update process, also if
disconnected from internet.

Bye

Nobody even bothered to check whether the code was decimal or hex...

<cmd_output OS="XPsp3">
E:\>net helpmsg 652
652 is not a valid Windows network message number.

E:\>set /a c = 0x652
1618

E:\>net helpmsg %c%

Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.

</cmd_output>

My guess is hex. ; )

FYI
