    Windows Updates won`t install after a Repair of XP

    After running a Repair of XP you go to the Windows Updates Site to get the 80+ Updates which you need to reinstall. The Updates download but will not install.

    This is due to a silent update that Microsoft deployed widely in July and August.
    Since this download of new support files for Windows Update, users of XP's repair function have been unable to install the latest 80 patches from Microsoft.

    The fix is to register some dll files

    Start/Run and type in the box
    regsvr32 /s wuapi.dll
    OK

    Repeat the above for all of the following dlls
    regsvr32 /s wuaueng1.dll
    regsvr32 /s wuaueng.dll
    regsvr32 /s wucltui.dll
    regsvr32 /s wups2.dll
    regsvr32 /s wups.dll
    regsvr32 /s wuweb.dll

    The Updates should install now

    If it ain't broke, leave it alone.

    The general concept is even older than that

    It is somewhat concerning that MS has said nothing about this problem or the fix.
