If you can't get these instructions to work, you may try the old instructions.

I recently installed a new Microsoft WSUS server. Most of it went just fine. Except for a few updates that weren't needed according to windowsupdate.com, but were required according to WSUS.

Especially KB974417 was pretty annoying. I tried installing it a dozen times, but after each reboot, WAU came back telling the update was ready to install. I checked out the eventvwr, and got the following useless message:

KB953297 installation fails – working solution!

I just described that KB974417 fails to install on a few of my clients. Well, so does KB953297.

Unforunately, I don't have error messages for this update. But I can tell how I fixed it:

The fix

Trying to install NDP1.1sp1-KB953297-X86.exe, I got the message that the software we're updating is not installed. It most definitely was. I just downloaded NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe and installed it right over the existing installation. After that, KB953297 was successfully deployed.
