Windows Update will not install

Hi expert, recently I have restored the computer to the factory setting (windows 7 64 bits) since the virus destroyed my registry and I couldn't install the MSE. It seems everything is OK now.
But I have over 114 Windows updated files which cannot be installed. I tried updating the driver software from the device manager and trouble shoot following the Microsoft Fix link. Then I manually updated these files. It first installed service pack 1 and it seemed working, but it took forever to update one file. Then finally it finished and restarted the windows. But it took forever to shut down. Then I turned off the power. After I turned it on again, the system showed Windows 7 Service Pack 1: Failure Configuring Service Pack, reverting changes error and it went on and on without stop on the screen and never ended. I waited for a long time and finally the windows restarted and it showed it had 114 files to be updated and it looked like they were updating. But when the updates was finished, I turned on the machine, the 114 files were still there, not a single file was installed.
Before Windows 7, when I format my drives, I only insert the bootable disk to the CD drive and then everything will be installed from CD when the machine is turned on. But when I insert the CD into the CD drive and turn on the windows 7 this time, the CD will not boot at all. Does it mean windows 7 does not need to use the bootable disk? We just restore to the factory setting instead. Do I have to format the c dive first and then restore to the factory setting? Please advise! Thank you!

>Windows Cleanup seems to have done the trick, though before trying it I actually managed to install LR 2.0 beta with no problems. Anyway, since it's a windows system, anything can happen -- and frequently does!
But that is what happens; you may get an error trying to install one particular application while all others work perfectly well. The cleanup utility fixes the problems for that particular application and saves you doing registry edits etc.
>I have install issue saying I dont have the right Window Installer error when I install 1.4.1 update too.
If you do not have the "right Window Installer" you may need to download the latest version from Microsoft. You can find the revision of your current windows installer by looking of properties of Msiexec located in c:\windows\system32. My version is 3.1.4000.1823.
This is the link to the download:

Also, make sure that your Windows is up-to-date.

Lightroom 1.4.1 Windows update will not install

I have made numerous attempts to install the Lightroom 1.4.1 update filename LTRM_WWEFG_WIN_1_4_1.exe on my computer running Lightroom 1.3.1 under Windows XP SP2. All appears to go well until a window pops up instructing me to insert the disc with Adobe_Lightroom.msi on it as it cannot be found.
Earlier in the process, the progress indicator shows this file being extracted and in any case, I am not installing from disc but from the downloaded updater. I did try inserting my original version 1 CD-ROM, but the .msi file on that is rejected as invalid.
A thorough search of the hard disc at each attempt shows Adobe_lightroom.msi under c:\documents and settings\user\temp, but pointing the installer there produces a similar error message that the file is invalid for this product!
What do I try next? I had no trouble on previous upgrades (I bypassed 1.4), so why should this one keep failing? The Adobe error messages and prompts are less than helpful to say the least. I thought this update was supposed to have sorted out the version 1.4 fiasco!

Certain Windows updates will not download on any PC on our network

Hi,
We've had a problem that seemed to develop a couple of months ago in that certain Windows updates will not download to any PC on our network, most notably IE11 and .NET 3.5.1 updates. Most others will download and install with no problem at all.
I have tried running the Windows Update Fixit, I have tried deleting the /Windows/SoftwareDistribution folder, I have tried the System Update Readiness Tool, I have added the various Windows Update server URLs to our firewall whitelist, I have
tried a clean boot, but to no avail. Downloading and installing the affected KB patches manually works fine though.
When I connect any of our PCs directly to an external router the updates download and install fine. It's only when connected to our network (which comprises a Peplink WAN load balancer, Cyberoam CR25iNG security device, Windows 2003 domain controller
& Arista 10Gig switch) that the problem exists.
Most updates download successfully but others only get to a certain percentage downloaded, most commonly 45%, although I'm not sure if that's a meaningful figure.
For example, the most recent batch of updates all download and install fine except for KB2982378, KB2894844, KB2972211 & KB2973112. Is there something those updates have in common that something on our network could be blocking?
I'm really unsure where to try looking next, so if anyone has any suggestions they would be very welcome please.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
When you connect to an external router directly, does your network location change to private or still domain network?
I suspect this is related to some firewall setting, even related to your network security device.
Please check or upload the WindowsUpdate.log ( %windir%\Windowsupdate.log), we can find some information about downloading phase.

Camera Raw 5.7 Update will not install

I have a MacBook Air with Bridge 4. The Camera Raw 5.7 Update will not install. I've tried it both through Help/Updates and Software Update. Any ideas?

You can also install it manually.
Be sure to have the latest download, then open the DMG file (should do so automatic) and grab the plug in file to drag it in the correct place.
This is the path:
Library (That is on root level, not your user account library!) / Application Support/ Adobe? Plug-ins / CS4 / File Formats.
In this folder should only be one version present and it is called "Camera Raw.plugin" Under info it should say version 5.7.

Never mind. I kept trying, and finally when I opened "About This Mac" and clicked the software update from there (as opposed to the "Software Update" just below), the Java update finally worked.

OSX software updates will not install

Softward updates will not install on my MacBook Air (OSX 10.7.4). The updates download, but then during the installation process a message pops up saying that an error occurred and that nothing was installed. I've tried it 5 times with the same result each time.
Any suggestions (for a non-technical person)?

Updates will not install using App Store on 10.7.5

Updates will not install using the App Store. I am using a MacBook Pro on 10.7.5. When I click the button labeled "update" in App Store, the little wheel in the upper left-hand corner continues to spin forever (I waited 12 hours one time) but nothing happens. No updates will install. My Macbook Pro has always operated without issues since I bought it new in 2009, and I have a reliable, fast internet connection.

Let's try a test here.
Make a new User Account, and try to update from there.

I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
Did you ever find anything more to this?
