Hi,

This update, KB3000850, is quite large -- something like 720+Mb.  After quite some time downloading (seemed to get stuck at 4% and 90% downloaded), I got error 800700002 when I tried to install this windows update.

Right after starting download, I disabled my real time anti-virus.

Can anyone suggest ways to overcome this problem???

Thanks

    Robert,

    An Update.  For grins, while I waiting, I did the following:

    • Using Administrator rights, ran (again):
      • SFC /SCANNOW
      • DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth
    • Turned off my Anti-Virus software
    • Restarted my PC
    • Used the standard Windows Updater

    IT WORKED -- Excelsior!!

    Please accept my sincerest appreciate for sticking with me!!

    Thank you very much -- and am taking down the files

    For me, on my brand new Dell system.... I had to turn off McAfee to get it to install.

    All the other things in this thread (SFC, DISM, etc) were all fine.  But McAfee was holding things up.  And the CVS log was indicating that there was some contention with some files, implying in some way that they couldn't be updated because they were locked...Which pointed the finger at the antivirus software.

    If someone in this thread doesn't mind creating a youtube show and tell fix I would appreciate it. Don't know why M/S hasn't done this already? Thanks

    Same here, hangs at 4%.  I haven't got time for this - especially as it's an 'optional' update...
