KB948109 Windows Update Install Failure 66E

[usenet]

P.S., I wish to append this to my above message. I found a .bat file the guy
left on my desktop which he may have used in the process above. It does the
renames I mentioned. But, the bulk of it is dozens and dozens of Regsvr32
statements that register DLL. I don't know whether these are necessary or
not. Not wishing to do any harm, I'm not passing along the .bat file.

That is exactly what happened with me. I was told to contact SQL support,
which is not free.

Can you paste in the text of the bat file then? I would like to at least see
what is getting re-registered. I'm rebooting my SBS 2003 server now and then
I’ll try just renaming the folders first. (this is my test box at home - i'm
not ready to try it in production)

The batch file is important. Even with User Account Control off, I was not
able to rename catroot2. I even tried in safe mode. Two folders inside
catroot2 were locked by the OS:

{127D0A1D-4EF2-11D1-8608-00C04FC295EE}
and
{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}

The Regsrv32 commands in the batch file must clean this up a bit.

I've reproduced the text of Updatefix.bat below. Please don't use it if you
don't understand what it's doing.

I may have missed something prerequisite to renaming the folders. He did do
something with MSCONFIG but it was quick.

Also, here is the summary of the guy who helped me, in his own words:

"Here is a summary of the key points of the service request for your records:

"ACTION :You were trying to install a windows Update Kb948109 .
"RESULT :The update was failing to install and was being offered again and
again.
"CAUSE :The Update histroy is corrupt and thus the update is being
repeatdly offered inspite of being already installed.
"RESOLUTION :We rename the Catroot2 and Software distribution folders and
find that the Update is not offered again."

Also:

"Windows Vista Solution Center is the place to get quick answers to common
questions, suggestions for troubleshooting, and access to Live Chat, Email or
Phone support.

DO NOT MESS WITH THIS IF YOU DON'T READ AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S DOING.

***** END TEXT OF Updatefix.bat *****

[usenet]

Thank you for posting the bat file. I can see where that would clean up most
problems with the Windows Update service and the SQL update. Unfortunately,
it didn't work for me. I'm still stuck on that problem with the previous 3240
patch that can't be uninstalled. The irony is that I have 4 sQL Express
instances. Three of them updated just fine. It's the "SQLEXPRESS" instance
that's being stubborn. Here's the error details from the log:

available in the log file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup
Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB948109_sqlrun_s ql.msp.log.

Back to the drawing board... I couldn't find that Hotfix 3024 to try and
reinstall it, so I wonder if there's a way to manually remove references to
it.


Thanks again.

David,

That Hotfix 3024 message is the same one I got consistently in the log every
time I tried to install KB948109. Exactly. And notice that the return code
is 1646, which is 66E in hex. The 66E is what was originally reported
whenever I tried installing KB948109 via Windows Update.

Hi,

has anyone find a solution for this problem?

I had the same problem. "Hotfix 3024 not removable"
with error 66E / 1646 on an Vista 64x - System

Dirk,

Please read the branch of this thread that begins with my first (of two)
posts on July 14. If you still need help after reading that, read my earlier
posts where I describe how (with patience) I persevered through the MS
Support gauntlet. I did get help, and it didn't cost me anything other than
telephone time.

If it's of any help, feel free to refer to my MS Incident No. SRX1072700296.

Hi,

i have tried anything from this tread.....but nothing
works.

Again and again he logs that he tried to remove another
patch and fails with this operation.

I run Vista x64 and SQL Server Express 2005....

I think in germany i get no free support for this product....

Dirk
