I agree with you. They need to pull this junk and resubmit it where we do not have to jump through hoops to get it installed. I am really getting tired of this mess with MS. It can sit in my updates before I try to install it anymore and mess up our computers as that is probably what will happen.

That is not going to do anything to get this resolved . This is a MS problem and MS needs to get this straightened out. I am not about to mess with my partition and boot config to install this. Read Ant Dude reply above. Thanks anyway.

No problem, I do understand the frustration with update issues such as this. Often this is just an automatic fix using the troubleshooter though. If you get a chance it might be worth trying.
