Windows Update Installation Failure
Have you ever hit Windows Update, identified required patches, only to be met with installation failure, even with repeated attempts? Me too. Windows 2000 and Windows XP have a quirk that can result in this behavior if there are too many files within the INF folder. A patch is available for download, but I don't see it listed by Windows Update itself at this point.
Please let us know if the advice we give is of some help.
Feedback will benefit all
