Update error

[BEW]

I'm new to Win7. The update window is asking me to install an update
that is already installed. Where should I look for a solution?

And what happens when you let it install a second time? It may be a
re-release of an update.

 

[BEW]

It doesn't install. Gives error message.

It doesn't install. Gives error message.

Consider hiding the update.

 

[BEW]

I would if I knew how.

re-release of an update.

Or a 64-bit version of something that already has a 32-bit version
installed? (Or vice versa.) But yeah, I would allow it to install and
see what happens.

 

[Gene E. Bloch]

I would if I knew how.

It's not hard.

When an update is visible in the Available Updates window, just choose
"Hide this update".

But you have to be set to "Let me choose which updates to install", or
any setting that doesn't install automatically:

Go to
Control Panel -> System and Security -> Windows Update -> Change
settings

Consider hiding the update.

Or he/she could consider providing the exact error message rather than
allowing us to guess.

It doesn't install. Gives error message.

So is this going to be 20 questions? What is the error message?

You want help, help us help you...

later today as time permits..
