Vista - update KB943411 won't install
« on: January 08, 2008, 04:58:32 PM »
There were 6 today's updates for Vista. All of them installed nicely, except for KB943411 - failed to install.
I tried to download it, and manually install it. Same thing.
Anyone of you having same problem?

I'm not exactly well-versed in Vista, but do you have your Sidebar disabled?  Perhaps that could be preventing the update from installing.  Not much information is available about this hotfix yet, so that's about the only thing I can think of at the moment.

Great Chris!
I had it disabled. I turned it on, and update installed.
Thanks, man.

Not that easy, though, I guess.
The update installed, it's listed as installed, so I disabled Sidebar again, but after restart in Windows Updates it's listed as ready to install again.
Hmmmm....

What happens if you try to install it again?
And did you restart while Sidebar was still enabled?  This could make a difference.

We might just have to wait a few days for more information to become available.  It usually doesn't take long for people to start having difficulties with the latest hotfixes.

If all else fails, I suppose you could simply tell Windows Updater to ignore the update since you don't really use Sidebar anyway.

    If you just hide the sidebar, then your update should be fine. I just hid the sidebar when I first saw this annoying tool.

    That was the next thing, I tried. It said, installed OK, please restart (I configured Sidebar to start with Windows).
    After restart, Windows was configuring the update, and then it said, that installation was not successful.

    I'd love to do it, but I can't see such an option in Vista's Updater.

    Broni i have visited 7 different Forums with no luck on this issue...

    Although there was one user who managed to get it to install by first un-installing Comodo.
    Sounds a bit drastic but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do...

    MS has been completely silent on this issue so far.

    Thanks patio for looking.
    I'd rather live with it for a while, then rip off Comodo just for one update.

    If you want to hide the update, Tech-Recipes has a how-to on how to hide an update.

    Here.

    Is that Comodo Firewall Pro 3 by any chance?
    I noticed Defense+ has some problems with Windows Update...

    No dice, dairyman.
    I disabled Comodo Pro 3 Defense, but it didn't make any difference.
    With Sidebar closed, it won't install at all.
    With Sidebar open, it says "installed", but after reboot, it says "fail".
    I'll do more googling later.
