Guest gazak Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Opening a new thread as suggested by PA Bear. OS: Windows XP Pro SP3 running IE8 but Chrome for anything useful. Part on an office network with an SBS2003 domain server. The above updates won't install and fail with error 0x80070643. I have read KB976982 and followed its procedure to remove all .NET versions and replace them in the order 3.5SP1, 1.1, 1.1SP1 followed by Windows update. This has not resolved the problem and the updates sit in my systray, waiting.. I am also running AVG Free and take the view that any AV is better than none. Is there any suggestion that AV is preventing this update? gazak -- Windows 2000 was great but I like sash windows best... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gazak Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Yes, that's right but its much easier to type 0x80070643 or 0x643 than 'Product: Microsoft Fix it 50123 -- Error 1720. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Custom action RUN_32_PARSEARG script error -2146827859, Microsoft VBScript runtime error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject' Line 22, Column 14' which is the entry for the MsiInstaller log entry in Application events. Does that help the diagnosis? gazak -- Windows 2000 was great but I like sash windows best...

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 => OPTION A: For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY (1-866-727-2338; and/or 1-866-234-6020 and/or 1-800-936-5700) in the United States and in Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft subsidiary. There is no-charge for support calls that are associated with security updates. When you call, clearly state that your problem is related to a Security Update and cite the update's KB number (e.g., KB979906). Or you can... Start a free Windows Update support incident email request: https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=6527 Customers who experience issues installing Microsoft security updates also can visit the following page for assistance: https://consumersecuritysupport.microsoft.com/ => OPTION B: First run the Fix It in this KB article & see if the update will install after doing so: How to fix MSI software update registration corruption issues http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971187 If no joy, see... When installing updates using Windows update or Microsoft Update you may receive Error 0x643 or 0x80070643 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976982 Then proceed per the following: ===================== Step #1 => Before doing anything else, write down what .NET Framework versions are currently installed: How to determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed and whether service packs have been applied http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318785 [As of this post, KB318785 hasn't been revised since November 2008 so you may not find the pertinent information in it. YMMV] Step #2 => Now see Resolution Method 2 in this related KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923100 After running the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool (not the Windows Installer Cleanup utility!), reinstall all .NET Framework versions (but only the ones you wrote down in #1 above) manually using the download links on the page then run Windows Update manually to install security updates for same. Download links for .NET Framework Cleanup Tool: • http://cid-27e6a35d1a492af7.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Blog_Tools/dotnetfx_cleanup_tool.zip • http://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer-Components-PostAttachments/00-08-90-44-93/dotnetfx_5F00_cleanup_5F00_tool.zip NB: If you remove .NET Framework 3.5 (SP1) using the tool, reinstalling .NET Framework 3.5 will also install .Net Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2; then Windows Update will offer .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. IMPORTANT! => If you remove .NET Framework 3.5 (SP1), reinstall your .NET Framework versions in the following order: 1. .Net Framework 3.5, then... 2. .Net Framework 1.1, then... 3. .Net Framework 1.1 SP1 NB: KB923100 references this page: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/05/30/611355.aspx. Please read ALL of it as well as the related page http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/pages/8904493.aspx before using the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool. Step #3 => Check-in at Windows Update and install any critical security updates offered. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 gazak wrote: > Opening a new thread as suggested by PA Bear. > > OS: Windows XP Pro SP3 running IE8 but Chrome for anything useful. > Part on an office network with an SBS2003 domain server. > > The above updates won't install and fail with error 0x80070643.
