Fix Problems Installing Microsoft Updates KB979906 and KB979909
Are you having problems installing Microsoft updates KB979906 and KB979909? If you’re getting this error message:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0×80070643: Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 Security Update for Windows 2000 and Windows XP (KB979906).
Luckily, the fix is easy. The problem turns out to be an issue with VBScript, not the patch itself. If you go to the CMD prompt and run:
regsvr32 scrrun.dll
This will re-register the DLL and now, when you go back to install the patch, it will work perfectly.
Hope that helps…
