Cannot Install KB935807


Recommended Posts

Thanks for posting what update it was, because it was causing ALL of my updates (like 7 of them) to fail every day and was starting to get annoying. I've disabled that one (hidden it) so it appears to finally be working. :) I have the Windows Firewall disabled, so that may have something to do with it.

if your running a different firewall or you have the windows one dissabled then the update iwll fail as the firewall service isnt actually running

would have thought that would be common sence to most

I have no third party firewall and do have the Windows one running, and it still fails here ;-)

According to the MS Security Bulletin, this update refers to the Vista Firewall. The issue is described as "Vulnerability in Windows Vista Firewall Could Allow Information Disclosure (935807)" and is a moderate threat.

I can hide this one then....I'm alot safer with my 3rd party Firewall it seems...LOL

I have a similar issue, but not with Vista - it's with XP ....

KB939373 keeps installing and installing ad nauseam (it disappears after every reboot), so I had to do a manual download then told Automatic Updates to not show this update again.

From: KB935807

Workaround (admin cmd):

32-Bit: md %windir%\system32\logfiles\firewall

64-Bit: md %windir%\system32\logfiles\firewall && md %windir%\syswow64\logfiles\firewall

You should be good to go afterwards. I wonder why/how this folder would have gotten deleted? The update worked fine for me on the first try.
