Hi,

did you try to install this KB manually ? If not can you try it ? - you can download from here (choose right language):

KB2539636

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27017

KB2533523

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27014

KB2468871

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3556

...x64 - is for 64bit WIndows 7

...x86 - is for 32bit WIndows 7

How to find out if Windows 7 is 32bit or 64bit is here:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

EDIT 8/26/2011

Maybe what you can try (before you try points 1..11) only turn Off your antivirus and turn Off UAC, then manually install the updates  that failed to installand  run Windows update to install rest of updates. Turn On your antivirus and turn On UAC. How turn Off UAC see point 5).

EDIT 8/16/2011

If these steps above not help, try to use these ones:

1) uninstall Net Framework 4.0 client from „Uninstall and change program“:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program

2) If you still see Net Framework 4.0 client in „Uninstall and change program“ use this tool for unistallation Net Framework 4.0 client:

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx

    download, unpack and run „cleanup_tool.exe“ – from pull-down menu choose „.NET Framework 4“ and click „Cleanup Now“

  1. After uninstallation restart computer
  2. Turn Off (Disable) your antivirus
  3. Turn Off UAC (User Account Control) – howto do it:

     http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off

6) Download and install Net Framework 4.0 from here (choose right language):

     http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=17718

      (same for 32bit OS and 64bit OS)

7) restart computer

8) try to install manually all updates (KB??????) that failed to install

9) run Windows update and install rest of updates

10) T****urn On UAC (User Account Control) – howto do it:

        http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off

11) Turn On (Enable) your antivirus

    Thanks a million for your posts!

    The KB2468871 update has been bugging me for months and my computer could not shut down properly and would restart sometimes.

    I had to turn of the automatic Windows Update as an interim measure.

    Search the whole web including microsoft websites and tried all sorts of solutions but to no avail until I come to this thread.

    Encountered all the problems mentioned here, tried all the various solutions and almost gave up.

    I didn't really know which of the solutions did the work but in the end, Windows Update did not update KB2468871 but offered KB2416472 instead.

    Did the KB2416472 update & now there is no more notification for the KB2468871 update.

    What a relief!

    Microsoft better do something quick to resolve this or they will lose their loyal customers.

    Tried all this but KB2468871 refuses to install.   It attempts to do it every time I shut down but it is always there the next time I log on.
