The things that I have tried to get these 3 updates to install without success have been: I have tried updating the computer using windows update and I let windows to try and install the updates automatically.

I manually downloaded the update packages from the microsoft download center and then attempted to install the updates. I stopped and restarted the Windows Update service and then I tried to install the updates. I deleted the softwaredistribution folder and then rebooted my machine to allow windows to recreate it, because I thought it may have gotten corrupted. It wasn't and the updates still failed to install. It said that the operation was successfull but the updates still failed after a reboot.

I tried shuting down my antispyware software thinking that they were conflicting with the updates but they still failed. I don't know what else to do. It seems that all of the other updates installed fine except these 3. The error code I am getting is I went to the help and support center and followed the directions about resolving that error code but the updates still didn't install.

I have tried google to no avail although it seems that its a very common problem. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. I think I've tried everything and nothing I have tried has made any progress on this problem. Does anyone know a solution for this issue without me having to reinstall Windows? Thanks in advance.

Type Y to acknowledge the command. Arie ,. Hi Arie. Sorry for the delay. I followed your instructions exactly and after it finished I closed the command prompt. Then I rebooted my machine and then my computer wouldn't boot at all. It said that a windows file was missing or corrupt.

So I booted from the CD and I ran the startup repair which thankfully repaired the error and I was able to boot up my computer. I then tried to update my computer again. Once again the updates failed to install. But instead of giving me the error code that I mentioned in my previous post which was , I got the error code CD.

I googled it and got no results for it. Are there any other options besides reinstalling Windows? It also said to look at the CBS. I am now beginning to think that I may have a windows file missing that may cause the updates to fail.

Or maybe the updates don't have full permisiions to install. Is there any other way I could fix this problem. I could do a repair install on my computer and I wouldn't lose any data but that will take along time and I am trying to avoid it. I need to find a solution for this issue.
