    Re: Vista update KB938371 fails to install. error code 80073715

    Is the system still under warranty ?
    It 'sounds' like there is an issue with either a driver or McAfee.
    Since the download will not install whether by automatic or a manual
    update, I strongly suspect McAfee as the culprit.

    Re: Vista update KB938371 fails to install. error code 80073715

    I uninstalled the McAfee program a few days ago, but that didn't help
    with my problem.

    This morning I used Windows update again to see if anything new was
    being offered. Besides the uninstallable KB938371, it was offering
    KB947562. I looked it up at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947562 and
    find that it is described as "May 2008 Windows Vista and Windows Server
    2008 Application Compatibility Update". After successfully installing
    KB947562 and rebooting, I tried once again to install KB938371 using the
    installer package Windows6.0-KB938371-v2-x86.msu. Success!!! After 2
    months of aggravation, the update finally installed properly!

    After rebooting, I ran Windows Update again. It now reports no updates
    are available. I haven't installed Vista SP1. Shouldn't Windows Update
    be offering me that option now?

    Re: Vista update KB938371 fails to install. error code 80073715

    Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is not available for installation from
    Windows Update and is not offered by Automatic Updates
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948343

    Please see the above, John. Glad to hear that the KB938371 installation
    issue is history now.
