Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130) install fails
EVERY TIME I try Windows Update this "tool" is REQUIRED. I say "Download and
Install", it says "FAILED!". This happens EVERY TIME!
Would an MVP PLEASE help... This is my second "plead" and I've endured this
failure for over a month with NO resolution..

None of those worked for me.
Solved! What I did was to search in Windows for anything named "892130"
I found the files in:
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\a49d784415582d2f98c84ceb0a75d898\update
I then right clicked the inf file and hit install.
Then I executed the update.exe file and rebooted.
Voila (That's pronounced Voweelah here in the south)
Upon rebooting update site did it's thing very well.
Hope this helps folks.

It should be noted that the website has changed ... as of April 1,
2010, navigate to the following page for online validation:
http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/val...lidateNow.aspx
This should work for most issues of this type.
