PC Hell: How to Fix Problem When Windows Updates Download But Won't Install

PC Hell: How to Fix Problem When Windows Updates Download But Won't Install: "How to Fix Problem When
Windows Updates Download But Won't Install"

This page (at PC Hell) has information on how to fix the problem of windows automatic updates download but fail to install.

I had to keep going to the last section where you delete the downloaded updates and associated cache to get mine going again.
My mistake was to expect XP Service Pack 3 to uninstall cleanly. I even took care not to install IE 7, but uninstalling SP 3 just killed automatic updates.

Thankfully I found this page and it has (almost) fixed everything.

The only update that seems to refuse to install now is the "Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474)".
As long as that's the only failing update I really don't have a problem. The OS came from Dell with the PC, so being genuine isn't an issue. Just as long as the update servers don't have a problem with my XP installation I'm happy.
If I get really bored some day, or some problem related to WGAN arises I may investigate further.
