Dec 24, 2006 Caused of this is the installer failed to clean itself after installation. BTW, did you restart after. -- msxml4-KB927978-enu.log. Update KB927978 has failed to install several times. I get code 0x05. What can I do? -- e.j.JamesII.
I cannot speak about Add/Remove Pro, but not every update hits the Add/Remove Program listing. In this case you have an entry. But I am sure that Add/Remove Pro is wrong as to the uninstallation of any KB based Hotfix. It is done in the SPUNINST folder for the KBXXXXXX of the Hotfix. Use Explorer and examine the blue colored entries at the top of the WIndows folder. One of the Blue colored folders will look something like $KBKB927978$ and Explorer will show a subfolder SPUNINST.
You would use Spuninst.exe from that folder to remove the Hotfix; or as it is listed in Add/Remove, let that applet handle the chore. Now the question is why you are doing this? Is it because there was a reference in the logs to your removable external hard drive?
This is normal. XP will use for temporary storage purposes the connected drive with the most free space. It creates temporary folders named similar to yours: 56900c2a0fe971e2cf647ba6d5b069 It usually cleans up after itself when done with Windows Update, but not always. Go ahead and delete the folder 56900c2a0fe971e2cf647ba6d5b069 as it was to be used temporarily only. Vhr Stock Car Setups For Sprint.
There is absolutely nothing in what you experienced that is in any way unusual or peculiar, or a cause for alarm. I followed your advice with no change. There has never been an uninstall directory in C: Windows for KB927978, nor has there ever been a log file there for it. There are numerous uninstall directories and log files for earlier patches. Microsoft Update only lists this one patch as needing to be installed.
I downloaded from the link you posted, closed all applications, clicked on it, and the update installer gave me three options: Modify, Repair, and Uninstall. This indicates that it thinks the update is already installed (which it is!) I selected Repair, and it worked for two seconds and said it was successful. This has happened before. Zte Mf30 Troubleshooting. The notification icon still says there is an update waiting. I restarted the PC, and after logging in, the Microsoft Update program says that I have one update to install: KB927978.
Next, I looked at the Modify option, and it indicates that the only thing I can modify is to install the XML SDK, which is optional. It recognizes that the other portions of the update are already installed, because it indicates they would take 0KB of disk space.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Tired of Microsoft Yeah thanks Microsoft.
I'm getting pretty tired of Microsoft again. I have been using Microsoft for some years as the alternatives seemed too hard to manage. I have downloaded myself a copy of Suse Linux and I may start using that.
Setting up and maintaining that would take less time and hassle than this stupid system. I have completely reformatted my computer and I am *still* having problems. Sound card drivers playing up (Audigy 4), crashes, etc. I have Zone Alarm Pro installed, is this a problem? Perhaps I should start a new thread since this is kind of old, but I thought I would try posting her first to avoid clutter.
I'll make a new one if there is no answer after a few days. I have a slightly unusual variation on this problem. I've had the folder that contains the KB log file in my C: drive, presumably since November, and never thought too much of it. Until a few days ago when I accidentally dropped another folder into it.
I can open the folder containing my folder and the log file, and I can open the log file, but when I attempt to open my folder I get an error telling me it is not accessible, no other information. The folder properties on my folder tells me it has 0kb in it.
I tried a number of things to get in to it. Ra The Rugged Man Rar. I uninstalled the msxml program. I used the program someone linked in this thread to remove the hot fixes (since I couldn't find the 927978 one in the windows folder anymore I just got rid of them all). I started the computer in safe mode (as both owner and administrator, which should have been the same thing but they were both listed so I gave it a shot). I even tried to delete the folder when it looked like nothing else would work. Every time I got the '[gibberish folder name] not accessible' message when trying to access it. Finally I used a file recovery program and I was able to get the data out of the folder and somewhere else.
