    Hi Dave

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have now installed the the update 958044 and tried to windows update again but no luck. (Info: I have not restarted the machine after the update 958044)

    According to the article, there is the Method 2: perform a repair installation of Windows, it is a production server running exchange server 2007. Is it safe to perform the repair installation, or is there any alternative?

    Can I download the update KB979306 and KB967723 and manually install through the *.msi file?

    Kind Regards

    Bhavesh

    Hi Bhavesh,

    I had the same symptoms and found that the stand alone installer for each update overcame the problem and once installed separately windows update was happy again :-)

    You rock! I had the same problem, and your strategy worked.

    KB967723 worked fine.

    Excellent! This worked for KB967723 (64 bit) with my Server 2008 Foundation. Much, much better than reinstalling the OS on a production server as suggested by the MS fix. I found the appropriate download at the Microsoft Download Center  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

    Thanks for getting me started in the right direction.
