windows update repair works only partially
Boggin:
Don't know - I'm just going by this link that Willy2 posted but anything is worth a try if it negates the need for a clean install.

That's the article I saw last night about 2200 that gave me the idea about the 5739 update. I guess I wonder why that one last night and the one back in March loaded without problems and others do not. I have 16 criticals that will not load and a flock of importants also.
Do you think I should run the repair install again?
Boggin:
I suppose at this stage you only have time to waste if it doesn't resolve, but at least you will be able to manually install those two updates before embarking upon the rest.
Did the repair install actually complete last time ?
I'm going to shove off for a bit as it's well past my evening meal time.

Yes, the only thing I would waste would be time watching it and responding when necessary. The two updates are installed now and WU seems to be functioning but getting the final configuration to work is the problem.
No, I became tired of sitting and watching weeds grow so as I said, did the CTRL-ALT-DEL to see what would happen. The 17 downloads installed but were rejected in the configuration stage.
The question I have is that if WR does not work, how would needed updates for the repair install function? Is it possible to bypass that step and still get through the repair?
I suppose I could, during the week, do some individual updates of the critical ones and see if I can get most of them to take before I spend Saturday afternoon and evening watching the weeds grow.
Boggin:
Give the repair install time to complete and then install those two updates to see if that resolves.
When updates fail, sometimes installing just a few at a time has been known to work so I suppose you could give that a try and give the weeds a miss :)
Really going to have to go now though as my stomach is starting to think my throat is cut :)
