Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 (KB955305) update fails with 0x5DF code
I have done a clean install and Microsoft Update installs every update but is
failing to install Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 (KB955305) and gives an error
code of 0x5DF which (I believe) is due to "the event log file has changed
between read operations" or "ERROR_EVENTLOG_FILE_CHANGED".
Can someone please advise me how to correct this.

The log doesn't tell us much, I'm afraid.
First, check what sort of CPU you have. Silverlight doesn't work on a Pentium
II. If you don't know, go to the System Information tool in All Programs -
Accessories - System Tools and post the line(s) that start with "Processor".
Try downloading the update from the Microsoft Update Catalog:
<http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=955305>
Choose "Update for Microsoft Silverlight" (either one) if you already have
Silverlight installed, or "Microsoft Silverlight" if you don't.
If this doesn't work, there should be a file in c:\windows named KB955305.log.
Post the contents.

I agree too! but, telling Microsoft didn't solve anything it's still
happening now in July 2010....YEARS later! So much for followup...
Windows 7 is better than Vista but still not as good or reliable as XP!
Now we are going to continue pressing ever forward without providing a
stable product; and you wonder why Microsoft is loosing the lead?
