[SOLVED] constantly-looping restart/update requirement notice

It was unusual to see WU in green and reporting success! Yes, hopefully WU is back on track ... there are still no pending repeats. Warmest thanks and appreciation for your Trojan efforts. Kind regards.

[SOLVED] constantly-looping restart/update requirement notice

No, no repair or uninstall option, just straight to "configuring" popup which gets along about 80% of the progress bar then simply disappears with nothing further being displayed. However .... I went to the Updates History again to check if this update-try had succeeded but just not produced a...

[SOLVED] constantly-looping restart/update requirement notice

No, since fixing 243 earlier Windows Update has not downloaded that one again. 242 has been downloaded and installed three times today so far, each time followed by WU downloading it again leading to the subsequent install. Right now 242 is back following the last install operation, and no...

[SOLVED] constantly-looping restart/update requirement notice

Similar to 243 to a point ... after accepting terms it accepts the .msi when pointed to it. In a new window it then asks to wait while configuring, though that window then closes sharply after a couple of seconds with no further activity. It doesn't get as far as wanting the .cab it seems, or...

Very close to the same as with 243, but initially not a Repair/Uninstall menu but the license terms to agree as part of Preparing To Install. On agreeing terms this window opens as before looking for a source disk:

[SOLVED] constantly-looping restart/update requirement notice

The repair process completed, and reported KB 2538243 successfully installed, thank you! When I closed the installer window afterward, there was a Microsoft alert window open underneath saying that it might not have installed correctly. This gave me two options, either to state that it had...

[SOLVED] constantly-looping restart/update requirement notice

It had my hopes up for a moment :) The source was accepted and the repair process began, but a little way in to it a report window popped-up advising "Error 1311. Source file not found: C\Users\(name)\Desktop\vc_red.cab. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it." I cancelled, and...

[SOLVED] constantly-looping restart/update requirement notice

When I try to install it I get three windows at different points according to the stage reached, all headed simply "Microsoft Visual C++2008 Redistributable Setup" ... nothing additional, or proprietary to other software with which it may be associated. First window is what appears when it...

[SOLVED] constantly-looping restart/update requirement notice

Thank you very much. I can't help with any suggestions of what Visual C++ etc might have installed as a part-of, it's all a foreign language to me I'm afraid. We left earlier for a visit to family elsewhere tonight and tomorrow, and so I don't have access to the PC just now - writing this from...

A window appears saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD Rom or other removable disc that is not available. Insert the Microsoft Visual C++2008 Redistributable X86 9.0.30729.6161 disc and click OK" I don't know what Visual C etc is, but I do not have that disc. I came across this...

It reports the same for both, "The update ******** is not installed on this computer" The update history still says that 242 has been installed multiple times over an extended period.

"Good" is good :) .. thank you for that. Just the usual two showing: KB 2538242 - "Security update for Microsoft Visual C++2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package" and KB 2538243 - same as above but for C++2008. These are the same two that show on the update log as being attempted...

A mid-afternoon update, as my above post was made about 15-20 minutes after I switched-on this morning and I have been waiting for the "restart to install upgrades" message to appear. It has been around 6 hours now and there has been no restart-nag. Ordinarily I would have had to restart...
