I can not install any programs or use Windows Update. When I try to run the
update I get error 0xC80003FA. I am also unable to install any programs
whatsoever. In one case I get a "must install microsoft system installer"
and it is unable to do so. But first things first, how do I get the windows
update to work correctly? I tried the suggestion listed below about
renaming the softwaredistrib ution folder and then restarting windows update,
but that still does not work.
Some background info which I don't know if it is relevant or not: This copy
of XP Pro SP2 came new with a computer I used to have and is an OEM copy. I
gutted that computer and took some components and made a new computer. After
formatting the hard drive and reinstalling I kept getting this message box:
"One of the files containing the system's Registry data had to be recovered
by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful"
Eventually Windows would fail to load up at all and I would get some message
along the lines of "Kernell.dl l failed to load" or something of that nature
and the computer would just reset. So I would just keep reinstalling the
same copy hoping that something would work eventually. I really have no idea
what do now. Please help. Thanks.
The error code 0xc80003fA your receiving is hrReadVerifyFai lure which means
it may have not been able to write to the Softwaredistrib ution folder.
What changes did you make before receiving this error? In the event you
receive this error again you may try the following:
Rename the SoftwareDistrib ution directory.
Click Start >Run
Type "Services.m sc" (w/o quotes)
Press OK
Find "Automatic Update"
Stop the service.
Next, rename the "SoftwareDistri bution" directory to "SDOLD". The directory
is located in the c:\Windows directory
Now, restart the Automatic Update service
Click Start >Run
Type "Services.m sc" (w/o quotes)
Press OK
Find "Automatic Update"
Start the service.

One user who had this problem discovered "Actually my whole problem turned
out to be a bad RAM memory".
Worth checking seeing you "made a new computer".

I need to install python-2.3 on my computer. The problem is that

I put together an installation program and it works great the first time.
The problem I have is that we want the users to be able to rerun the
installation without needing to uninstall the older package first. How can
I set up the package to overlay the existing installation without forcing
the
user to run an uninstall first?
Thanks,

I have a very strange problem.
I have developed a .NET solution. To set up user clients I have also
included a "Deployment Project" in the solution:
Using "File System Editor | User's Program Menu" configuration a "Shortcut"
is created and pointing to the client EXE-file.
The created msi-file, NETProgram.msi, works perfectly on the clients.

My SP1 install seemed to want to keep repeating the install. I spent 4 hours
running the install, then it ran again (I got the message up saying it had
finished, then it started again). I didn't realise what it was doing until
after about 30 minutes, and at that point I thought cancelling might
actually undo the original install, so I let it run again (total install
time at this point 8 hours!), I got the install finished message and when...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
