How to Manually Download and Install Windows Vista Updates

[TheGreatOne]

We had tough times in installing the Microsoft Vista Windows Update KB9475562 that was released few weeks ago. It always fails to install when ever Windows Automatic Update runs and displays annoying alerts in System tray.

Few minutes of Googling provided a simple solution to install the update manually. Here are the simple steps to be followed to install the update manually

1. Launch Internet Explorer browser (Firefox does not work as we need to validate Windows) and point the browser to Windows Update KB947562 page
   
2. Validate your Windows Vista operating system and download the installable manually
   
   
3. Log off from Internet
   
   
4. Close any anti virus & anti spyware application if they are running
   
   
5. Manually install the downloaded update by double clicking it
   
   
6. Restart the computer

Thanks for this post, unfortunately it didn't work for me. I still get the error message "Windows could not search for new updates. Errors found: Code 8007051A Windows update encountered an unknown error".

I have tried just about every suggestion I have found on the Internet including buying software that promised to fix the problem and contacting Microsoft support but still the error persists.

System used: HP Satellite Pro running Windows Vista 22 bit.

Is there a solution to this problem some where out there?
