Error on update install

Am getting this message when prompted to install the update:
"The procedure entry point SetDllDirectoryW could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."

Are you by chance using Windows 2000 or a pre-SP3 version of Windows XP?
Windows 2000: see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1012569
Windows XP: install Service Pack 3.

Error after update/install

At the end of updating Numbers, the App Store shows "An error has occurred" in red text next to the app in the "Purchases" tab. However it does not say anything else about what went wrong. In the Finder the app icon is displayed with an empty progress bar and an "x" button. The app seems to have been updated ok and it actually runs. However the error message and bad app icon remain. I have trashed the app and installed again and got the same problem again. I have seen this happen with other apps as well such as iMovie but other apps install and update without problem. The only thing I could find in the system logs is the following error message, I don't know if it is actually related to the problem:
installd[1439]: postinstall: shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Itunes 10.5.3 update install errors on Windows

So if your getting errors when trying to update your Itunes software (say for instance to be able to use your new iPood Touch, required upgrade) and getting errors such as "A network error occurrred while attempting to read from the file C:\WINDOWS\Installer\iTunes.msi", then there is hope!!
Also if you get the error "Errors occurred while installing the udpates. If the problem persists, choose Tools>Download Only and try installing manually." there is hope.
First if trying to run an update, you'll probably get the second message first. Once you use the dialog at the top of the updater screen "Tools>Download only>" etc, and run the manually downloaded version of the update, then you might get the first error message listed above.
If this is the case then cruise over to this link and complete this method as it worked great for me at least. I was getting slightly different messages than the orginal poster but it still worked for me. Good luck-
Tks to B Noir and JereJohnson for the link and solution-
http://https://discussions.apple.com/message/17782501#17782501

Tks for the suggestion mitch, however my issue was solved with the method in my post.
For the record I tried disabling my antivirus orginally to solve the update issue to no avail. It didn't work for me since it wasn't the underlying issue.
Once I fixed the installer package problem, I had no problems running the reinstall/update with my antivirus software on and running.

Windows update error 800f0246 when installing printer driver

I have Win 7 pro 64 bit and an HP3520 printer. HP site says a Windows 7 driver is available via windows update. When I go into Windows update, the drivers shows up under optional downloads. When I try to download and install it it fails with error code 800f0246. All other updates install fine. I tried multiple times with the same error.
When I go into device manager the printer is listed under other devices with an icon indicating a driver issue. When I try to update the driver it finds the downloaded driver that Windows update downloaded. I select it and it fails.
I have Windows 7 beta still on my laptop and the printer driver installs from windows update just fine.
Any ideas?

No go. Uninstalled, rebooted, tried to reinstall again, still failed. Fails when the printer is disconnected as well. The HP site does not have a driver for manual install. Any links for a driver lead to here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01874792&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=305968 Those steps do not work because the driver in windows update fails to install.

ITunes 10.1.2 error message "Errors occurred while installing the updates"

Getting a blank page on the iTunes store, I was told that updating to 10.1.2 should fix that. Currently running iTunes 9.1.1.12. While downloading the updates, I get the following message:
"Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools>Download Only and try installing it manually."
I have tried installing the update both ways (through the update utility and manually) several times and I keep getting this error. It's very frustrating. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Finally got a response from Apple. They suggested I uninstall Itunes, then download and install the latest version. Worked great and I was able to recover all of my purchases.

A12E3 error when trying to update/install CC Desktop App

I couldn't update the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop app because it displayed an error A12E3 during install, so I uninstalled the app with the Adobe Uninstaller I found in its application folder. Then I tried re-downloading the latest Adobe CC app and installing it but the issue was the same: error A12E3.
Can you help me?
Oh! Maybe I should also say that i'm on a MacPro and my OS is OSX 10.9
Thanks a lot

After updating, install error "Install Flash Player.exe - Entry point not found"

My current version of Flash Player is: 11.1.102.55. Then after an Update is performed and the download is downloaded, then it tries to install the download and an error message occurs. The error message says - Install Flash Player.exe - Entry point not found - then it says The procedure entry point SetDllDirectoryW could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNAL32.dll.
When I try to uninstall Flash Player I get the same error message above except that it says Uninstall_Flash_Player.exe instead of Install Flash Player.exe.
I'm running WIN2000, my current version of Flash Player is 11.1.102.55 and I’m running Firefox version 12.0.

I believe 10.1.102.64 was the last supported version of Flash Player for Win2k. That being said, there have been numerous users that have been able to work around the error you are receiving. Please see this post for details:
