Some Vista Updates stuck at "pending"...
I have a windows vista ultimate installed which runs pretty smoothly
except that on checking the installed updates I noticed that some that of them were still "pending" despite having apparantly downloaded.
I have downloaded them seperately and they still don't install - they instead throw up an error message about the update not applying to my system.
I.e (important) Security Update KB925902 - List in the "view update history" as still pending - Double-Clicking on it gives an error code - 80242014 as well as what the update is and a link to the update page.
Anybody have any ideas about how to get them to install.
Thanks
Tiny

Download and install the standalone KB925902 update file:

Re: Some Vista Updates stuck at "pending"...
I have exactly the same error, cant remove the pending the installs to let
the system install them again and cant install them via the standalone
installers.
I know what triggered mine, my updates were all stuck and wouldnt complete
and the same update was on for over an hour so i have to force shutdown and
ever since the remaining downloads are showing pending.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Re: Some Vista Updates stuck at "pending"...
That would explain it Ck. You might check in "C:\Users\(your
username)\Appdata\Local\WindowsUpdate" to see if anything else is in
there other than these files: "OptIn", "AuthCab", & then
"tempauthcab.cab". This is a hidden file, so you'll have to have "Show
Hiiden Files" checked 1st.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

Yeah tinybilbo,
HAHA, I use the Acronis to myself. Reinstalling is not hard, it's the
time it takes to put everything else on & to adjust all my preferences.
Acronis is much easier.
