I have four and one is for Media Player 6.4. I have Media Player 10 so whats up with that?

[MacmillaN]

i got 8 updates on vista home premium,
7 of them succeded or so it says... but one of them failed
the one that failed was a security update to excel viewer 2003

it makes me restart the computer but once it comes back on, the same updates are listed on auto update...?

I've got 4:

Security Update .NET 1.1 SP1
Security Update .NET 2.0
Update for win XP
Software Removal Tool

Anthony A, I think that subsequent versions of MediaPlayer were built upon 6.4, which I think is part of the OS. I think you should install it.
Anyone know for sure?

This may help explain happened back in December as well:

During the December updates, I almost "unselected" MS06-078, as it referenced an update for Media Player 6.4 in the title information and at 1st I felt it might even impact my Media Player 11 environment. Still I decided to install this and when I saw the same reference to MP 6.4 in updating other PCs, I knew all was well

This is actually documented in the FAQs. Apparently, MP 6.4 "lives" on your PC for compatibility reasons even if you're on the latest and greatest version.

I got 7 updates for windows vista, one of which (spam filter update) I didn't need.

Out of the 6 remaining only one installed sucessfully first time. I then went through them one by one and suceeded in installing all of them except " Important Update for Windows Vista: KB935807".

I have tried another 3 times without success. On the little feedback I have found on this it seems others have had the same problem.

At least its not critical

[lotse]

Sucess! Should anyone be interested this is how I installed the last update sucessfully

I downloading the .exe for the update and saved it to my desktop. Then double clicked it.

It can be downloaded from Microsoft here:

That .NET Framework 2.0 Update just sat there for about 45 minutes doing absolutely nothing so I had to end task the KB updater and Windows Installer (msiexec.exe), then on the second attempt it finally installed - but it took about 5 minutes. That had to be the longest time I've ever waited for an update to initialize and successfully install.

I wonder why the updates take so long to initialize and install sometimes, that has always baffled me even if they're validating themselves or have already done so - seems way too long.

BTW, just to give a slight update on my issue, i still can't install these updates no matter what i seem to do, i uninstalled the excel 2003 viewer program due to i never use it and i thought that was the problem... but when i click install they say they have succeded and tells me i need to restart computer so i do that a few minutes once my computer has been running the update icon appears and says they failed to install... ive tryed this like 10times now. can someone help?
also instead of the 8 now its showing 7 due to me uninstalling excel...

When all else fails with Microsoft - and it usually does - I go here:

http://windowsupdate.62nds.com/

I used to use this site alot with no problems. You have to use any browser except IE, and download a small plugin. It works and is perfectly safe.

[MacmillaN]

i tryed that website doesent seem to be able to get any downloads... i installed the plug in but then once i got to pick updates it says false and then takes me back to there home page.

i am using mozilla firefox and running windows Vista Home Premium.

could that be a problem?

[MacmillaN]

I recently installed 6 out of the 7 updates listed on windows update, i done this by selecting each one and installing then restarting, i managed to find the update that won't install...
