Hi folks,

I'm trying to install these security updates on one of the 2003 SP1 servers (kb917159, kb914388, kb917537) and they keep failing. The other servers got the updates fine. This is the first time it's happening. All three of them are saying: Download size: 0 KB , 0 minutes (Downloaded; ready to install). If they are already installed, where I can find them cause I can't see them in the Add/Remove Programs?

Any help would be much appreciated.

When you go to the microsoft update site http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate
after it scans your computer, do you see the security updates listed? There should be a install now button. I was thinking that you have downloaded the files already, you just need to install ie. run them that's why download size is 0.

It sounds like you have downloaded the updates but have not run them. You can either go to MS download site and click Install Now for the updates, or you can find where you downloaded them to on your machine and run them from there.

I generally download the updates and then run them locally.
