Persistent Problem with KB926121

[Stainless]

For some time my main Win2000 system will not accept this patch. Autopatcher runs is (seemingly successfully), and then when I open Autopatcher again, it's still marked as needed.I'm building up a new box, and I'm running into the same problem. The log for the patch just repeats a message like the following for every run:

0.020: ================================================================================0.020: 2007/07/27 00:09:56.313 (local)0.020: c:845df7b025290c39c\update\update.exe (version 6.2.29.0)0.020: Hotfix started with following command line: /quiet /norestart /overwriteoem 0.020:  Exec Prereq.CheckReg: Result ValueName RemInst Not Found For Key Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SetUp\OC Manager\Subcomponents0.020: Condition Check for Line 1 of PreRequisite returned FALSE 0.030: ReadStringFromInf: UpdSpGetLineText failed: 0xe00001020.030: KB926121 Setup encountered an error:  Setup cannot continue because one or more prerequisites required to install KB926121 failed.

Can someone give me an idea of what I should try to do to solve this?Thanks!Sorry... Forgot to mention that I am running May07 core updated up through Jul07 update.

if the installer is quiting because a prerequisite check is failing it's because your system does not require the update. this could mean that RIS (the component it updates) is actually an optional component and isn't installed on your machine. that would mean that we need to add detection for the component into the module so autopatcher only displays it for machines that have the component installed. the problem is what the detection needs to be, and for that we need someone with a machine with RIS installed to be able to identify a file belonging to the component that we can use.

i suggest you ignore this update!

Just a suggestion for this update and others like this: Why not require the same prerequisite as what the updates do in the update.inf file? For this update, it's a registry key.

currently theres no such ability in ap. we have registry/file detection, but for prerequisite checks all we have is the hard coded ones, and custom file based ones.

OK.

Thanks for the quick reply!
