Security Update (KB954430) repeatedly fails to install (Code 64C)

Things I have tried:
- hotfix tool
- disabling virus protection
- downloading and manually installing the update (Error: the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.)
- downloading and running this update: Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x64.msu
- update from Windows Install DVD (I think this is called an in-place install)
I fear I will have to format and reinstall Windows and all my programs. Is there anything else I can try? Is it terribly risky to simply continue working without this update?

Method 1:
Follow the instructions in the link below to rename Software distribution and catroot folders and try to install the service pack.

Security Update 2009-01 Fails to Install

Hey guys,
I've done some searching but haven't found anyone with any issues installing the Security Update 2009-01. Has anyone else had the install fail on them? My install.log shows:

Should I be asking here? I'm not sure if I'm eligible to talk to a Apple representative directly.
Thanks all!

I figured it out. I had sym-linked my /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5 to the macports version of Python. Restoring this back to the original 2.5.1 version fixed the problem.
If anyone else is having issues installing this update, make sure you restore anything you've modified (listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3438) to the stock versions.
Cheers.

Security Update 2008 007 failed to install

I just attempted to install Security Update 2008 007 but it reported installation failure. Do I try again or wait for another version?

How did you try to install it? Via Software Update or from a direct download?

Acrobat Updater plug-in fails to install

I'm running Mac OS 10.4.11 on Mac G5 Quad, 6.5GB RAM, and whenever I run the Adobe Updater for my CS3 programs, I get a dialog box that says, "A new version of the Adobe Updater is available for installation. Click OK to install it now.", so I do, and it downloads and starts to mount a dmg or something, then I get an error message, "Adobe Acrobat Updater plug-in failed to install.", so I never know if it updated the rest of the Suite or not, can't find any info about this. Has anyone found the answer to this? Thanks! :)

Hi Meisha,
I have had the same problem for months now and cannot figure out how to solve this. I have seen another discussion with the same topic "Adobe Acrobat updater plug-in failed to install" but am unable to reply to the discussion for some reason. I'm new to using the forum.
Someone in that discussion (Donald Raymond) posted a command, but I don't understand how to effect the command nor how to reach him to ask him to clarify. The discussion link is here:
"http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3bc4ba94"
I wish that Adobe would address this issue and give a valid solution. Otherwise, I'm unable to update my CS3 products on Mac OS. I also tried to install a download of a new Adobe update manager, but that didn't solve the issue.
I hope someone can help us!

Security Update 2007 006 will not install!

I downloaded the newly released Security update (Intel) and tried to install it on my 24" Intel iMac. I was immediately informed that my volume "does not meet the requirements for this update" and it refused to go farther.
Has anyone an idea what is going on here?
Griff

Here is what worked for me.
Run Safari 3.0 installer and choose uninstall. Then, after a restart, either use the Apple software program in Tiger or download the updater for your machine. Either should install.
Evidently, the Safari installer had already put the fix on my computer, but since I have a lot of time to kill, this gave me the peace of mind that the whole fix is installed.
Then you can reinstal Safari Beta, if you really want it.
Personally I am going to wait until Fall and get 10.5.

Security Update 2008-002 failed Software update install, now absent in SU

So, I used Software Update to download and install Security Update 2008-002, but at after downloaded and going through install process, it never completed. I think it never even reached the optimizing part. So, I forced quit Software update. Backed up everything before restarting. No issues restarting at all, but when I rerun software update, Security Update 2008-002 does not show up. Also, it does not appear in the receipts folder either. You can still manually download it however. I wonder if Apple was pulling it this morning? I can't figure out, since I see no evidence of it being installed, why it doens't show back up.

Yep, looked for that too. Nothing. I have noticed, in trying to download manually, that I get an "internal error" from Apple downloads a few times before actually getting it to download.
When I origianlly tried to use software update, it never made it past installing to optimizing. Normally, after optimizing, you have to restart for the updated software to take effect. Since it stalled out and just hung, I force quited Software Update. I wonder if they is why no reciept package shows, or, did it just really not install. Odd thing is, I know shockwave permissions differed after I restarted. So,either it's me, or Apple pulled it or is having issues.
I have never had a software update stall out before. ever.
Also, does not show up in Software update as installed either, but doesn't show up as available.

Security updates takes long time to install through Software Center

Hi Folks,
We have a setup with SCCM 2012 R2 CU4 as a Primary Site server where SUP also enabled. I deployed the windows security updates to the test servers collection by deployment type as Available.
I verified in test servers that all the deployed security updates are listed under Software Center client, but when I checked all the updates and tried to install. it is taking long time to install . Most of the time the updates are in “waiting to install”
status and finally ends up in failed state with error codes 0xc80003f3, 0x8007000e. Have verified all the logs windowsupdate.log, Updatesdeployment.log, WUHandler.log are points to the same error code. Found that multiple SVChost.exe process consumes more
memory during patching process.
However we have enough physical memory(2 GB) and page memory( Min 2 GB to Max 4 GB) configured on the servers (Windows 2012 R2 SP1) . Need some guidance in further troubleshooting...

Most of the servers managed by me today are having anywhere 2 - 4 GB RAM installed. How do one install the security patches through SCCM with this configuration?. Selecting more than 4 patches at the same time to install does gives memory errors.
I would suggest 4GB RAM for a modern Server OS e.g. WS2012R2 is simply too little memory.
There have been quite a lot of issues in recent months, relating to Software Updates, affecting WSUS and also ConfigMgr, e.g.

Security update 2014-001 failed due to errors

I have attempted to load Security update 2014-001 on a 2009 MacPro running 10.8.5 (2x 2.8GHz Quad Xeons with 12GB of RAM and 1.2 GB of space on the OS disk) but it fails "due to errors". I have tried from the App update and directly from the Apple support site. I even reloaded the OS and still get a fail. Of course I suspect a compromise with this result but how do I fix it?

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ install.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Symbian Anna update 1/2 failed to install

The story so far. I did the first round Anna update (around 27 mb i think) OTA cos my Ovi Suite never able to update firmware on my n8 since trying to update it to PR 1.2, and I did try reinstalling, redownload, reboot PC, reg clean, ccleaner to fix the Suite but it still do not update my firmware at all. But that's another story.
So I installed the 1st round, n8 rebooted to white screen, rebooted into homesceen with Midnight theme. SW update then shows 4 more items: Anna update 1/2, 2/2, Store and Social. The 1/2 was showing around 20++ mb. So I selected all 4 and update. Halfway through the installing process of 1/2 update (note the download part of 1/2 was very fast), I did plug in the power pin, cos the installation process was damn slow for 1/2. I did not notice wheher it finised installing cos later i checked it was already on 2/2 (downloaded and installing). It then went to the last two items and installed ok.
Rebooted device, but SW update still showed Anna update 1/2 available (the only one left) and the download size is now 7166 kb. I proceed to update it, it failes with error but no error codes or any message what was the error about. I tried again and again, with fresh reboots, still failes. What gives?
Even more, split screen not here. I did the uninstalling Swype, activating qwerty mode in portrait, still no split screen. I do not have any Betalabs apps.
My Quickoffice & Reader is not here anymore (the app manager not showing them too). Heck I bought the full ver of Quickoffice 6 last time. Wat a waste of my money now that ver 7 is out!!
Anyone knows how to delete the "dowloaded cache" of SW updates? I want to force SW update to redownload this 1/2 item to try fix this issue.
Thanks for listening and please help. Cheers!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I got the same problem since this morning on both my N8 & just found out solution on a previous update error similar to this & completed the update on one of the N8. Re-trying on another one.
Working Solution for failed update was found on Flashism's website quoted & "touched up" per below:
Big thanks to user “Unick” on Nokia Support Forums, who posted a working solution to the problem, and there are couple of successful installs reported from the solution.
I just deleted folder E:\Private\20019119\. After that I ran SW update on the phone & it restarted download of Symbian Anna Update 1/2 & 2/2 as well as Social, they finished updates successfully.
To delete the mentioned folder, follow these simple steps:
• Connect your Nokia N8/C7 in Mass Storage mode to PC via USB cable
• Locate and delete folder named “20019119″ under \Private folder of Mass Storage
• Unplug the device from PC, and retry again. It should work.
However, I still got no popup split keyboard after completing the updates & restarted the phone.

Can't update CC:Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7

This is the error message I get when trying to update CC:

Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
What's going on?

Ok, I have now checked the log file according to the specifications in the troubleshoot section. The solution suggested in the error section of the log file was first to uninstall and then reinstall Photoshop. I then tried that. Bummer. BIG mistake. Now I don't have ANY version of Photoshop installed, because the Adobe Application Manager will not download and install Photoshop again because it stubbornly insist that my installation of Photoshop (which I do NOT have anymore as I uninstalled it) is up to date.
So... now I have two paid-for versions of Photoshop. One, which is part of a Creative Suite Master Collection and the one from my Creative Cloud membership. But none of them on my MacBookPro anymore. How should I proceed from here? Reinstall the old Creative Suite paid-for-and-owned-version and cancel the Creative Cloud subscription, or...?

How do I prevent Security Updates from overwriting (custom) PHP install?

Hi,
I've been forced into re-installing PHP from binaries after every Apple Security Update that upgrades PHP and I'm over it. Everytime Apple upgrades PHP, "their" compile overwrites mine and I lose my libraries. I have to completely wipe the Apple PHP install and re-compile. I've done this 3 or 4 times now in the past couple years...
Is there any way to force the Security Updates to retain the install of "my" libraries? What about the update installer(s)? Where are they?

An Update shouldn't affect PHP, this is a server side language that is stored on the server for the implamintation of Dynamic Web Pages.
Self-referentially short for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, an open source, server-side, HTML embedded scripting language used to create dynamic Web pages.
In an HTML document, PHP script (similar syntax to that of Perl or C ) is enclosed within special PHP tags. Because PHP is embedded within tags, the author can jump between HTML and PHP (similar to ASP and Cold Fusion) instead of having to rely on heavy amounts of code to output HTML. And, because PHP is executed on the server, the client cannot view the PHP code.
PHP can perform any task that any CGI program can do, but its strength lies in its compatibility with many types of databases. Also, PHP can talk across networks using IMAP, SNMP, NNTP, POP3, or HTTP.
PHP was created sometime in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf. During mid 1997, PHP development entered the hands of other contributors. Two of them, Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans, rewrote the parser from scratch to create PHP version 3 (PHP3).

Security Update 2012-001 Will Not Install

When I try runnng Software Update to install Security Update 2012-001 I get "An unexpected error has occured." at the end of the installation process. I tried downloading the standalone installer but that fails too.
Any ideas?

Tried the above suggestions and none of them worked.
I tried an re-install of 10.6 from my system disk and upgrading that. The combo update fails too.
I tried wiping the partition and doing a complete restore from a Time Machine backup. Still same error.
When I have time I could try wiping the parition, reinstalling 10.6 and using Migration Assistant instead of a straight restore.
One more thing. I installed a Boot Camp partition about a month ago. Could that have something to do with this?
Thanks.
Possible some corruption occured to the MBR section of your GPT, boot sector virus on Windows?
Bad Bootcamp updated the GPT wrong perhaps?
Could be OS X on TM is hosed too, can't trust that then.
Fresh install it is then, cures all ills. Follow on.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility there to select your entire internal drive on the far left (you got backups right? because all is going bye bye including Windows)
Next chose Erase and Security option Zero All Data, come back after lunch. this will check the drive really good for bad bits/sectors, takes a bit of time though.
Next chose Partiton and Option: GUID, format OS X Extended (J) and give it the same name, click apply. This will rebuilt the GPT in case it was corrupted.
Install 10.6, reboot and update to 10.6.8., c boot off the 10.6 disk and Repair Disk just in case.
Prefereably you should clone your pristine 10.6.8 install first to a blank external drive, you can always option boot off of it.

You can then try restore from TM or just go ahead and install programs from fresh sources and just use Migration Assistant to bring your user back.
If your problems continue after migration assistant, then option boot and reverse clone. how to cherry pick your files off a corrupt TM drive is no easy matter, may need DataRescue $99.
Far as cloning Windows bootcamp later when you reinstall it, you need the free WinClone on Macupdate.com.
you should be fully armed now.
Good Luck.

Is Security Update 2007-007 OK to install?

Mac Pro Intel, 10.4.10 with current firmware updates.
Thought I'd better check here first to see if this security update is OK to install. Security Update 2007-007
Thanks in advance
Craig

Thanks both of you. I update a clone drive every couple of days or so, but still, any downtime because of a buggy update, or worse some stealth code embedded in the update, would drive me crazy. I'll wait on 10.5 because I want to make sure that my primary apps (like photoshop CS3) are fully tested. Like they say "the first one through the pass gts hit by the most arrows:-))
cheers
