    KB938127 Security Update for IE7 failure

    I downloaded this update and installation keeps failing. Going into my
    Update History and clicking on the "Failed" icon does nothing. I am at a
    loss for why this security update will not install properly. I have shut
    down all A/V and/or malware products and still it will not install. I
    welcome any suggestions.

    Windows XP service pack 3 with IE7?

    First, try downloading the update and installing it manually:

    <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9F5DA816-194C-478E-8A96-9421A0C52C9F&displaylang=en>

    Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1).

    Are you attempting to install KB938127 via Windows Update or manually?

    I confirm that I have the same problem under WinXP SP3 having tried both
    manual install and automatic Windows Update install. I have noticed the
    following in case it helps to resolve the problem.

    1. KB938127-v2-IE7.log shows the following lines of text:-

    1.352: Starting AnalyzeComponents
    1.352: AnalyzePhaseZero used 0 ticks
    1.352: No c:\windows\INF\updtblk.inf file.
    1.352: OEM file scan used 0 ticks
    1.362: AnalyzePhaseOne: used 10 ticks

    6.389: Files from the package are incompatible with files on your system.

    8.152: User Input: OK
    8.152: Update.exe extended error code = 0xf0f1
    8.152: Update.exe return code was masked to 0x643 for MSI custom action
    compliance.


    2. The patch seems to be a re-release to cover WinXP SP3 but it still seems
    to fail.

    3. Belarc Advisor has always reported this patch as "Marks a hotfix that
    fails verification (note that failing hotfixes need to be reinstalled)" but
    also that Microsoft Security Updates" are "Up to Date".

    4. A possible cause of the issue may be the sequence of updates i.e. SP2 =>
    IE7 => SP3 rather than SP2=>SP3=>IE7 since it is the IE7 patch(es) that seem
    to have issues. IE7 cannot be un-installed if it was installed BEFORE SP3.

    Any advice on how to fix the issue, short of completely unistalling SP3,
    then IE7 and re-installing in "correct" sequence would be most welcome.

    Re: KB938127 Security Update for IE7 failure

    Sorry about that. I have WinXP Pro SP3 as my O/S. Originally, the
    installation was attempted by Windows Update, which failed. Then I tried the
    manual installation as suggested, but receive the following error message:
    Files from the package are incompatible with files on your system. Also, I
    cannot get rid of the Windows Update icon in my System Tray as it keeps
    wanting to install. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Even if you've tried downloading/installing KB938127 manually before, try it
    again using a fresh download from this link:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...6-9421a0c52c9f

    A slight tweak to the new installer may fix your problem.
