Windows Updates Download but Won't Install after Repair Install of Windows XP

A new problem has appeared recently since Microsoft has changed their Windows Update files. The problem appears after a repair install of Windows XP has been performed. The "new" Windows Update features a file called wups2.dl that was not present in the Windows XP found on the CD used to perform the repair install. This file remains on the hard drive but the registry entries for it are missing after a repair install. This causes the Windows updates to download but fail to install properly.

If you experience this problem, follow these steps to re-register the file wups2.dll in Windows XP

Stop the Windows Automatic Updates Service via the command prompt


Click on Start, Run
Type CMD and Click Ok
At the command prompt, type the following command, then press Enter

net stop wuauserv


Re-Register the WUPS2.DLL file


Still at the command prompt, type the following command and press Enter

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll


Restart the Automatic Updates Service


At the command prompt, type the following commands, pressing Enter after each.

net start wuauserv
exit


Restart your computer, and run Windows Update again. This time the updates should download and install properly.

Well done. :)

PS - you can skip the 'net start wuauserv' bit if you're going to reboot straight away as the reboot will do it. :)
