Solution Installation error in Windows XP KB2446704

In the previous post I commented that I had two problems with the latest update for XP SP3 via Windows Update. Having solved the first, the problem remained unresolved for KB2446704 (From Microsoft. NET 2.0 SP2 and 3.5).

I operate in the same way as before. KB2446704 download the package directly from Microsoft's servers, in my case the file-KB2446704 NDP20SP2-v2-x86.exe.

execute the file and start the installation process, which ends in error, saying "Fatal error during installation." Click again on the "View log file" to view the installation log.

get the record opening the following error:

Returning IDOK. INSTALLMESSAGE_ERROR [The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2721. ]

The record also is a link to a text file Msi Log, which I open. For errors (Error, Failure, ...) see fault lines pointing patching, finding different versions of files than expected.

Finding no errors of permits or other obvious errors I decided to uninstall packages. NET related to the update. So I go to Control Panel, Add / Remove Programs and look for all updates related to the following:

  • . NET 2.0
  • . NET 3.0
  • . NET 3.5

The uninstall all, one by one.

After the installation I open Windows Update again. And he shows a facility. NET 3.5. This time it installed without problems.

I close Windows Update and I open, I now displays several related updates. NET, some high-priority and optional.

I apply the high priority they are for. NET that I have removed and I installed. The installation completes successfully.

Restart Windows Update to apply updates optional . NET is basically to include language files. This time I showed two groups of options. The first group is more modern and includes updates to the second, so I decide this. I give up and do it properly.

I open Windows Update again and see that there is no longer pending updates.

Thus I solved the installation problem.

troubleshoot Windows Update

Today I found a number of updates available for Windows XP. Finally, I use WindowsUpdate and start the installation, however I install returns an error in the following:

  • KB2446708: Security Update Microsoft. NET Framework 4
  • KB2446704: Security Update for. NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x86

WindowsUpdate installer does not return any relevant information about the error, and after making several Attempts choose to install by hand and solve problems one by one. I share it in case it is useful to others.

research the installation log located in C: \\ WINDOWS \\, in a file called WindowsUpdate.log, I find a line that references the package that was installing warning of Errera (Installation Failure) and error code 0x80070643 . Well, let's find a solution to this error.

begin solving the first error to KB2446708.

first thing I do is get off KB2446708 package directly from the Microsoft website. Since I have Windows XP, choose to file NDP40-KB2446708-x86.exe.

I run the setup and returns the same error. Once the installer returns the error, a screen appears that gives you the possibility to access the log log (log file) of the facility, which will be one of the files to send to Microsoft to inform them of failure if we decide to send it. I open the file (opened in a browser) and all options under Message Types (Errors, Verbose, Messages) and Message Details (Date Time) offering. Scroll text of the log, I find a light red highlighted text, which includes the first error. In this case, reads as follows:

4/13/2011, 11:57:44] Returning IDOK. INSTALLMESSAGE_ERROR [Can not open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SYSTEM \\ CurrentControlSet \\ Services \\ Eventlog \\ Security \\ ServiceModel 4.0.0.0. Make sure you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel. ]

Well, we have identified the error in that package, it is a failure of permissions in the Windows registry. The solution is simple:

  • Start-> Run-> regedit (the latter I have to type it)
  • I looking in the registry key in the tree that cites error: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SYSTEM \\ CurrentControlSet \\ Services \\ Eventlog \\ Security \\ ServiceModel 4.0.0.0.
  • Skewer with right mouse button and select Permissions.
  • In the security tab, I see that the only user group that appears is SYSTEM, which indicates that no administrator permissions and is what causes the failure.
  • Click on the Add button and click the name Administrators. Press OK. Now
  • panel Administrators Permissions Permitor the checkboxes under the permissions "Full Control" and "Read." Click OK.
  • This error has been detected and solved so I can now close the registration screen.

Now restart the update installer KB2446708. This time the installation ends successfully. Later
