Hi All,

Recently finished my build and tried to update Windows Vista x64.

But two updated it just can't install:
- KB938194
- Service Pack 1

I've googled and found the following:


Working with another MVP we have discovered that the update appears to
install properly and is repeatedly reoffered after installing it.
The issue is that one of the Packages containing a Component update, in
this case, WindowsCalendar, fails to install due to there being no
Windows Calendar folder being present in Scheduled Tasks.
The Windows Calendar folder had been deleted.


The result is the Package fails to install, thus the Components listed
on the KB page are rolled back.
The other Packages of the update do install, thus, the update is reoffered.


Workaround:


Open Task Scheduler, and in the Windows folder
add a WindowsCalendar folder.
No task has to be assigned, just create the WindowsCalendar folder.
Install KB938194 now.


download and install http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=nl&FamilyID=14f76773-007c-493f-bece-243bc21ac73d

Tried both, still can't update.
(while installing: error message)


Also downloaded the two updates and ran the installation manually, still error.


Anybody knows a fix for this?

Hope somebody can help me out, because I can't run GTAIV as it requires SP1 :(

I don't have the DVD with SP1 integrated.
I got a disc (which I bought legal :)) from 2 years ago.

I have an original serial, you don't need a "special SP1" key to download and install SP1.

(I've done it before with other systems)
