Hello all, I repeatedly get an installation error when trying to install
update KB938371. The error number is: 8E5E03FB. Since automatic update is on,
this has been going on quite a while. I even tried downling the file and
running the install manually to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Are you using Vista x64 on an AMD chip too?

Is it from HP?

There is a known problem with that configuration for XPsp3.
Don't know about Vista SP1... ; )


In any case I suggest you try some diagnosis.
E.g. find all files which were changed by the update
which contain that error code and then find the context
that it occurs in. Frequently the reported code isn't the
most important symptom found that way anyway.



Thanks,

John


Good luck
