You need to open the Windows Update webpage and let it check for other updates and then install them. After having installed those updates you'll probably have to reboot, and after rebooting just open it and check for updates again. Do it until there are no updates offered.

Those folders are responsible for uninstallation. Once you've removed such a folder, you won't be able to uninstall that update any more.

Hi Tomas,

I guess it should be ok to backup those folders to a CD and remove them so that I can continue with downloading the other updates BUT how do I determine if the updates already downloaded have been successfully installed?

How do I determine if BITS 2.0 and the other updates have already been installed successfully?

Should I disable Automatic Updates from within Services?

Dziekuje, Michael.

Do you mean besides it no longer indicating them as an applicable update necessary to install? If you got the "Installation Complete" message and after restarting and going back to Windows Updates if it no longer offers it as an update, then you can assume it's installed correctly. Yes there are other ways, but that should do until you can get Windows Update satisfied that you are up to date.

Cheers and Regards

Hi Tomas et al,

Except for KB842773.log (BITS 2.0), all of the Log files have either of the following for their last lines.

[PatchFilesFromResponseBlob] returning STATUS_READY_TO_INSTALL
VerifyTargetFileSize: Unable to verify size as Source = NULL for file c:\winnt\oem56.cat
KBxxxxxx installation did not complete.
Update.exe extended error code = 0xf201

[dumpDownloadTask] Update.exe posting request file to download a total of 156041 bytes (156041 bytes in patches and 0 bytes in fallbacks)
dumpDownloadTask returned 0xf200 (more files to download)
VerifyTargetFileSize: Unable to verify size as Source = NULL for file c:\winnt\oem56.cat
KBxxxxxx installation did not complete.
Update.exe extended error code = 0xf200

These Log files can be accessed at KBxxxxxx Log Files

In the C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistribution folder I found a file called ReportingEvents.log. I have added it to the Zip file for the KBxxxxxx Log Files.

Based on what I have seen in the above Log files, including the ReportingEvents.log, it would appear that some, or all, of the associated updates need to be downloaded again and/or manually installed via executing the "update.exe" file in the associated "update" sub-directory of "C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistribution\Download"?

However, I can't be sure because this is not my area of expertise.

Can someone look at the Log files and tell me what my next course of action should be?

Thank you, Michael.

Regardless of what the logs say, what happens when you restart and go back to Windows Update now? Does it still offer any updates as needed, or is it satisfied?

Cheers and Regards

Since the Restart required to complete the Update for BITS 2.0, as noted in Post #37, the Web page for Windows Update now appears as follows.



iTunes still displays the following errors when I start it.




Except for KB842773 (BITS 2.0), since the Restart yesterday, I see no other updates added to the "Add/Remove Programs" applet of the Control Panel. Neither do they appear in the Registry under the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" key.

So, once again, based on what I have seen in the Log files, including the ReportingEvents.log, it would appear that some, or all, of the associated updates need to be downloaded again and/or manually installed via executing the "update.exe" file in the associated "update" sub-directory of "C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistribution\Download"?

As an example, for KB954600, I have the following in "C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistribution\Download\094cb48add2362622ba4c3293b5a2f17".




The following is an excerpt from the WindowsUpdate.log file for KB954600.

I am wondering if the actions, performed by the Automatic Updates applet of Control Panel, can be reversed and would this allow me to go back to the Web page for Windows Update to begin with Step 2 (6.) of "C. UPDATING WINDOWS 2000 COMPONENTS" on the page at Guide to installing and updating Windows 2000 Professional.

Thank you, Michael

Whenever I make space available on the C: Drive, the Automatic Updates service starts downloading updates again.

I have now been able to access the Custom button on the Web Page for Windows Update. Could not being able to do this, before, also be related to the lack of space on my C: Drive partition?

Clicking on the Custom button has updated the page to the following.



However, because the Automatic Updates service restarted the Downloads, the Disk Free Space is now only 4.10MB and the Automatic Updates service has once again stopped.

The following image shows the properties for the Automatic Updates service.



Should I disable the Automatic Updates service and remove all the newly added Installation Folders, except the one for KB842773, from "C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistribution\Download" (see image below) and then proceed with the High Priority Updates from the Web Page?



Thank you, Michael

What size is your HDD and why is it so full? I think for best results you need to provide enough space for it to download all the updates at the same time that it thinks your system needs. Not to mention enough room for the paging file, hibernation, if used, temp files, apps you've installed, such as iTunes and the temp space they require, etc, etc.

Cheers and Regards

The reason it is so full is because of installations, including iTunes, that don't give you the choice to select the installation location. Before I started the iTunes and Updates installations, I had around 800MB of free space not including the paging file but that's beside the point at the moment.

I need answers to the questions I have already posted above because even if I could free up enough space, and how much space is required for the Automatic Updates is unknown, what do I do about the Updates that have been downloaded but failed to be installed? Did they fail because of lack of space?

According to the Guide to installing and updating Windows 2000 Professional, 286.3MB is possibly required to complete the Updates.

Since your pics above indicate that you were down to ~3MB, I would say that is definitely a problem. How did you possibly expect updates to install with no space to use?

As far as iTunes is concerned, I think that what tomasz86 and BWC were saying was that you will have a better chance of success if you do not try to reinstall it until after Windows Update has managed to successfully install all the potential updates that it suggests.

Since you have totally filled your HDD to the point that it's performance is bound to suffer even if you are able to eventually get all the updates installed, you might want to consider wiping it clean and starting from scratch. Using some of the recommended methods found on this forum to update your source offline before installing it will end up taking up less room on your HDD once installed. And you are bound to not need all the software you have installed so this time only install the software that you have proven that you need. Both of these approaches will help leave you with a more stable and responsive system.

Cheers and Regards

For the benefit of others who may need this information in the future, I have the following update.

Last night, I decided to follow my instincts. My plan was to remove the Installations downloaded by Automatic Updates and then let the Windows Update web page apply the updates instead.

Using PKZIP, I backed up all the KBxxxxxx Log files in "C:\WINNT\" and the Installation Folders and Files in "C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistribution\Download", created since BITS 2.0 was installed, to another Drive to make more space free on my C: Drive partition. Deleting these from the C: Drive would free up around 385MB of space.

However, after deleting the Folders and Files from the aforementioned locations, I discovered that by clicking on the "+" icon to the left of the Update, on the web page, that the Web Page had already seen and recognised the Installations download by Automatic Updates as can be seen in the following image.


This makes sense, when you think about it, because that page is using an ActiveX Control which allows it to determine what updates have been downloaded and/or installed.

So, I need to restore the files and folders I have deleted to allow the Web Page to function correctly which still leaves me faced with a lack of space for allowing the Updates to be applied.

However, I have found an Adobe Reader installation, within "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data", that can be removed which will free up about 112MB of space. Also, I found some Outlook Express files, that can be backed up, which will free up another 188MB.

Will the extra 300MB of space I have found be sufficient to complete the download and installation of the Updates?

I also want to get "Apple Software Update", iPod and iTunes off the C: Drive and installed elsewhere. If BlackWingCat's installation software can't achieve this because by default, as possibly poorly designed by Apple, they are installed on the C: Drive, could I manually move the files from "C:\Program Files\Apple Software Update", "C:\Program Files\iPod" and "C:\Program Files\iTunes" to another Drive and update the Registry manually for entries such as '"C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /open "%L"'?

Thank you, Michael

Hi BlackWingCat,

After downloading and installing the Windows Updates, the following are the results of my 2nd attempt to install iTunes 10.7.



When the following message was displayed I clicked on the Ignore button.


The following shows the next Error message that was displayed. I clicked on the Ignore button.


For the following error message, I clicked on the Cancel button.


For the following message, I clicked on the Yes button.


The following was the next Error message to be displayed. I clicked on the Ignore button.


Then, the following message was displayed.


The next thing to be displayed was the initial dialogue window, "Welcome to iTunes", for the installation of iTunes.


After clicking on the Next button, I then selected the D: drive for the installation.


My Installation Options were as follows.


After clicking on the Install button, an error message indicated that the Bonjour Service failed to register. I clicked on the Ignore button.


Why is iTunes trying to install Bonjour when setupit.cmd is already trying to install it before iTunes is installed?

Or, why is setupit.cmd installing Bonjour before iTunes?

Please answer these questions about Bonjour.

Again, a message was displayed indicating that the Bonjour Service had failed to start. I clicked on the Cancel button.


For the following message, I clicked on the Yes button.


The iTunes installation was then rolled back and then the following was displayed.


You can download my version of setupit.cmd from the following link.
My version of setupit.cmd

You can download the output, from setupit.cmd, from the following link.
Output from setupit.cmd

Only one thing has been corrected with this attempt at installing iTunes.

The Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is now functioning correctly as can be seen in the following image.


Arigato, Michael.

[blackwingcat]

If it occurs to error on Bonjour.
You must not select cancel.
try to execute setupsub.cmd while error dgl shows.
