[SOLVED] Problem installing Acrobat Pro DC - Errors 1310 and 1406

PROBLEM SOLVED Deleted all the old setup files I could find. It's amazing how much un-needed stuff Adobe stores on the hard disk (old updates for versions of the programme I haven't used for years). Renamed the existing Config.Msi to allow the installation programme to create a new one, which...

Cannot install KB3023266 and subsequent Windows updates.

Richard Thank you very much for contributing to this and for such a comprehensive overview of the Windows Update process. I'm very happy with everything you have said and will stop chasing this particular issue. Without taking on any extra work, have you any idea why this problem occurred in...

Cannot install KB3023266 and subsequent Windows updates.

Here's a thought. There are many entries referring to KB3023266 in the registry. but since the update is not installed, they must refer to all the failed attempts. Suppose I backup the registry by creating a System Restore point and then delete all those entries? If the system won't start up, I...

Cannot install KB3023266 and subsequent Windows updates.

I have already tried that. It checks before installing that the update isn't already installed. In this case, it shows the message: "Security update for Windows (KB3023266) is already installed on this computer".

I notice 3023266 isn't there. I suspect the system has become confused because of the number of times I have renamed folders or moved contents as part of the previous debugging process. Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.1.7600.16385 Image Version: 6.1.7601.18489...

Cannot install KB3023266 and subsequent Windows updates.

Just one final puzzle. Having had success with the other updates, I thought I would try 3023266 again. It doesn't show on Windows update so I tried using the standalone installer. When I ran it, it says that the update has already been installed. However, a careful visual search of the list of...

Alex Yet another twist. I noticed that there are almost 30 updates now available, so out of curiosity, I thought I would see if they would install. Amazingly, they all did!! This includes KB 3031432 ad 3034375 that wouldn't install the other day. There are therefore now just two outstanding...

Which is the error that is still occurring? I use Kaspersky Internet Security and have done so for about three years without an apparent problem. I have the same setup on my second computer including KIS and this has downloaded the updates without a problem. Also, I have been able to install...

Sorry about the delay in completing this. WindowsUpdate.txt attached cbs.txt is now enormous (347MB). Zipped version on Dropbox at https://www.dropbox.com/s/wjkzn3prvi3m77s/cbsv4_txt.zip?dl=0 When I ran WU yesterday, it offered four updates. The three I chose were 3031432; 3004375...

Excellent. Many thanks. Light at the end of the tunnel. For interest, I have done the tasks twice. This is before running WU again. I have renamed cbs.txt cbsv3.txt just to distinguish it as the latest. Ran the code for wupdate via the 'Run' command. I'll add the post-update files to...
