Unable to install Bootcamp update 2.1 for XP (and thus, XP SP3)

Right, I've been using XP through bootcamp without any problems for over 18 months now- until I tried to install SP3. I figured out pretty quickly that I needed update 2.1, but now I can't install this. I keep getting a message that tells me that the file I'm trying to update is not present (I will switch to XP in a minute so I can get the exact wording of the warning).
Now, rather unhelpfully, I am not even told the name of whatever file SHOULD be present. If I knew that, I'm sure I could locate it (or download it). As to how this file could be present, I'm not sure. I have started using maintenance software like Advanced Windows Care and Disk Keeper to clean up my system, boost performance, defragment, etc. I suppose it's possible (unlikely, I would think though) that in doing so I may have inadvertently deleted something. My XP has been performing very well since I started using these programs though.
Anyway- I'll check the error message and post it up here. I've scanned through previous threads, but not seen anyone report this same issue.

Okay, here's what it says:
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, ot the updgrade pathc may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct update patch".
I don't even know what program I'm supposed to have.
Ideas, anyone?

HT5130 Unable to install Security Update 2012-001 for Mac OS 10.6.8

Have just tried to install Security Update 2012-001 for Mac OS 10.6.8 and get message saying cannot download. Download stalls at Zero kB downloaded. Dialog says an error occurred during download.
Internet connection is fine and first time denial has occurred.

Looking at all the posts about the deficiencies of this update, you may have just lucked out, especially if you are, like many of us, still running PowerPC programs under Rosetta.

Raw Update 5.7 for cs4 will not install. Will stop in the middle of install and ask to close Bridge when it is not open. OS vista. Thanks to anyone that can help.

You probably have Bridge open in the background, open the Task Manager, switch to the Processes tab and close Bridge.exe

Unable to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 Release Preview on RTM 8 Enterprise

Unable to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 Release Preview on RTM 8 Enterprise
Standalone installer available here
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972
fails with error code 0x80004005
Is this because my installation has issues, or would the admin pack files be updated for RTM?
Thank you in advance for any insight

Found the solution here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itprogeneral/thread/6d8745e0-c4c1-463a-b4bb-09f6c9c22527
Workaround:
Download the RSAT package intended for Windows 8 Release Preview: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972
Extract the .msu file with a tool such as 7-Zip.
Open an Admin command prompt and change directory to where you extracted the .msu.
Run the following command to install (if x86 you probably have a different .xml filename): pkgmgr /n:Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64.xml
Wait a while. You can look in task manager for pkgmgr. When it disappears, the installation is done.
Use the tools as per usual.

I ignored this for sometime but today I lost my patience and decided to fix this nagging problem. The update prevented me from using the shutdown option as then it would download the updates and then fail over and over again.
None of the steps helped however they set me on a path. I uninstalled all unwanted programs but that was not what fixed the issue. I noticed other than Office 2007 I also had installed Word viewer 2007 , Excel viewer, Powerpoint viewer. I uninstalled these
voila!! Windows update said I don't need these updates on which the install was failing, I checked for updates again and the above updates never appeared in the list of updates found.
I thought I will put this out there just incase someone else runs into similar situation as me. Good Luck.

When attempting to install downloaded update 5.6 for Lightroom: Error applying transforms.

When attempting to install downloaded update 5.6 for Lightroom I am having a Windows Installer error message: Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid. I completely reinstalled the program and still got the same error when attempting to update. Creative Cloud lists the Lightroom 5.3 as "Up to Date". Please advise.
Also curious as to when the video issues will be updated: Every time I even attempt to import new pictures from a folder that has video footage Lightroom crashes. I have asked about this in the past and gotten no reply. I am rather disappointed in Adobe's customer support (or lack thereof).

Install Software Updates Step fails during Build and Capture

I have run into a problem while attempting to use the Install Software Update task during a build and capture task sequence. I have MDT 2012U1 integrated into SCCM 2012.
The Install Software steps find and use the Deployment Points fine and the Use Toolkit steps similarly are able to download their source files from the distribution points using the Network Access account. The Install Software Updates step, however
fails with an access denied error in the CAS.log.
I have found that I can work around this problem by setting the DP to allow anonymous access. After checking this box, the software updates install during the build and capture task sequence. Unchecking the Allow anoymous makes the problem recur.
I would like to not have to have the "allow anonymous access" enabled on the DPs for obvious reasons. Other packages download correctly from the DP with anonymous access disabled - they use the network access account. Install Software Updates
is the only step that seems unable to use that account to talk with the DP.
Is this a known issue? Is there a work around?

Thanks for the information. I will give that a try. I do have the SMSMP & SMSSLP (not sure I need this one in 2012) filled in in the Configmgr client install settings. Before I did that, it couldn't even find the SUP.
I am a little skeptical that the hotfix will fix my problem since most packages are downloading from the DP fine - it is only Software Updates that are failing to download. On the other hand, it is clearly a permissions issue since allowing anonymous
on the DP resolves the issue, all be it in a way I am uncomfortable maintaining in the long run.
That KB replaces a lot of key Windows system files. Hopefully, it won't cause more problems than it solves.
---additional thought
I wonder, could it be that Packages that work without this KB have package share settings with "Copy the content in this package to a packages share on Distribution Points" cleared/unchecked? This setting is not available for patch packages
- so I wonder if it is enabled by default behind the scenes. That could explain why the patch packages are affected and not the other regular application packages I have are not. All my regular packages so far do not have the
"Copy the content" box checked. Clients would be accessing the packages differently I suppose based on whether it was through a packages share or through the new SCCM 2012 package storage thing with the hashing.

Installed itunes update 10.5.0.142 and now get the error message "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn playlist to disc. Windows 7

Hello queenabs,
It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found." I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
