in [Windows Update]

From: MowGreen on 9 Feb 2010 16:15 Why deal with a log file that is cumbersome in size and needs to be copied just to be viewed ? The WindowsUpdate.log is more suitable unless it specifically points to an issue with CBS. Plus, this "stability and reliability" update need *not* be installed on systems that are not experiencing the issues described here: An update is available to improve the stability and the reliability of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977074 Eric ... See this TechNet article for the different uses of the WindowsUpdate.log and the CBS.log: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732334(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_D MowGreen ================ * -343-* FDNY Never Forgotten ================ banthecheck.com "Security updates should *never* have *non-security content* prechecked Eric wrote: > If you're up to it you can find the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log and see if you can find the error code for this KB. > > The easiest way to do this is try installing the package, note the time that the failure occurs and find it in the log entry base on the timestamp in the log. > > You have to be an admin to open this file.

From: MowGreen on 10 Feb 2010 12:46 YW. As to KB977074 failing to install ... my guesses are 1) some people have hacked their systems so it can pass Validation 2) KB974431 needs to be installed *by itself* and prior to KB977074 being installed 3) reliability and stability updates are based on data gathered by MS via the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP). It is feasible that such data is not applicable to all systems. Reliability and stability updates should be applied judiciously, eg. *only* on systems were the issues take place that are mentioned in the KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977074 MowGreen ================ * -343-* FDNY Never Forgotten ================ banthecheck.com "Security updates should *never* have *non-security content* prechecked Eric wrote: > That's a great article.
