I have the exact same errors. It keeps trying to install those two updates
every time I shutdown, requiring an extra 1min to shutdown. What good is
auto update if it doesn't work for 6 of us(x1000 probably)? MS charges $100
per support email, so forget that! How are we suppose to even tell them
6000 customers are affected? Maybe MS will fix it in the next auto update?

Couldn't agree more. While several "fixes" have been posted by various
individuals (including now-cranky MVPs!), none have worked for me either.

This is obviously a pretty widespread problem. MS usually makes updates
extremely easy. I guess we're all stunned at the astounding LACK OF SUPPORT
on this problem.

So, Noel......

When are we gonna see any kind of substantial FIX from MS concerning this
snafu??

The workaround for finally installing KB886903 as given in a post from
Rolando E. Creagh on 2/15 is complex, but it worked on my machine.
I have contacted MS support on 2/16, got a response 2/17 that the
problem was being turned over to a support specialist who responded 2/18
with the same information as Creagh's post. I had already fixed the
KB886903 install hang and asked how to fix the KB886906 problem, which
persists.

No reply as yet.

The problem occurred for me 2/10 as I downloaded 11 security patches,
two of which failed to install. If they had just not installed I
wouldn't be too concerned. The fact that they brought up error messages
at shutdown and again at restart and return from hibernation is what
bothers me. I have a shield icon in my traybar saying that updates are
ready to install. There's only one pending update now(KB886906) and I
would like to get rid of it.

There appear to be more than six of us with this or similar problems,
based on the number of posts in this newsgroup. Considering the
complexity of fixing the KB886903 problem MS obviously has not carefully
thought out at least these two updates. I use newsgroups regularly but a
number of people I know who use computers have no idea what a newsgroup
is or that MS offers free support for update problems. Then there are
the people who have no idea what a Windows Update is, but that's another
subject!

Considering the number of people who download and install the fixes
without
any problems - hundreds of thousands a day, at least - the chances are
that
it's a peculiarity of your setup, rather than a problem with the patch.

If we can work out what that peculiarity is, then we may be able to work
out
a way through the logjam.

One way you can assist is to call PSS and ask them - any resolution then
gets logged and eventually we all get to hear about it.
Otherwise, it's a time-consuming (as if the PSS method wasn't!) process
of
eliminating possibilities, and a lot of research.
