    KB892130 (WGA Validation Tool) Installation Failure

    Microsoft Update usually completes successfully on my
    system and I'm not aware of any changes which might
    have compromised it. However after checking for
    software updates for a minute or so this morning it
    reported "Software Upgrade for Some Windows Components
    Required" and, under "Details", that the missing
    upgrade was "Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool
    (KB892130)". The upgrade downloaded successfully and
    started to install. My firewall asked whether "Windows
    Service Pack Set Up" should be allowed to run and I
    granted permission. Then installation hung with the
    progress bar stuck at about 10%. "Cancel" did nothing
    on a previous attempt and the only way out that I
    could find was to kill Microsoft Update using Task
    Manager and to run System Restore.

    My system is up to date with the exception of the
    latest Microsoft updates, which of course I can't
    access. I'm running:

    Windows XP MCE 2005
    NOD32
    Zone Alarm Pro
    Windows Automatic Updates (Disabled)
    KB905474 WGA Notifications (shows in Add/Remove
    Programs)

    I've attached the Windows Update log and details of
    an Applications Log event which may be associated
    with the problem.

    I'm inclined to uninstall KB905474 and try again but
    I'd be very grateful for other suggestions about how
    to tackle the problem. I can't find KB892130 in
    Microsoft Downloads so I can't try to run it as a
    standalone.

    TIA

    Jen,
    No luck so far, after wasting most of the day. Still hoping some
    knowledgeable assistance will be forthcoming in this Newsgroup. If I
    ever learn of a solution I'll post it here.
    Sorry I can't help at the moment.

    The problem is based on your "Firewall" ZoneAlarm. I'ld recommend
    uninstalling that one and enableing the Windows XP Firewall instead.

    Which additional "security" programs are running in the background?

    Not even a KB892130.log in your Windows directory?

    Is this one of the benefits of WGA, Freudi? Now, that's a "wow" factor.

    Nope, it's an issue to trigger some dumba**es to jump in and
    post their FUD.

    I disabled NOD32 and Zone Alarm and that solved the problem.
    I didn't enable Windows Firewall because I'm behind a router
    with it's own firewall. Very many thanks for your helpful
    response.

    Zone Alarm is an historical relic and probably not needed but,I
    believe, very difficult to uninstall properly.

    NOD32

    Yes, there is. Pure ignorance on my part I'm afraid.
    I didn't know it was there.

    Jen,
    As you'll see from my response to Ottmar Freudenberger,
    who solved it for me, the update worked after I disabled
    NOD32 (probably unnecessarily)and Zone Alarm. I didn't
    bother to enable Windows Firewall because my system is
    behind a router with its own firewall.

    I'd recommend that, rather than continuing to the remaining
    updates, you close Microsoft Update immediately and restart
    your computer if KB892130 installs successfully. At least
    you won't lose the problem update if anything goes wrong
    subsequently. After that you could disable Windows Firewall
    and continue updating in your normal environment.

    Hope this helps. If not there are other suggestions in
    Freudi's post.
    Dick
