Windows Updates no longer work for me...

They download and appear to install but then I get the message below>

"No Updates Were Installed"

The following items failed to install. To try installing them again, click Review and install updates, and then click Install Now again.

I've tried everything... I used to have Zone alarm installed but I've removed it... I currently don't have any firewall and I even tried disabling Norton AV but still no go. How can I troubleshoot this?

Some of the updates have to be installed/downloaded separately from the rest. Read closer next time.

Holy Chimichanga!

I did a search on Google for the error I found in event viewer "ID 20" and found this>
I shut down Exchange Information Store, ran the updates and It Worked!!!!!
Not sure why Exchange 2K maps an M: drive but it appears to be the culprit...

--------
Event ID: 20, Source: Automatic Updates
Application Log Event
Source: Automatic Updates
Category: Installation
Event ID: 20
Type: Error
Description:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update.
- Qxxxxxx: Security Update (Windows 2000)
- Qxxxxxx: Security Update (Windows 2000)
Cause
This issue may occur if some of the fixes try to find or create temporary folders on the M: drive of Exchange 2000.

Work Around
Stop the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service or remove the M: drive mapping before applying the updates from the Windows update site. After the updates are installed the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service should automatically be restarted and the M: drive remapped. To un map the M: drive run the following command from the command prompt:

subst m: /d

Alternatively, download and apply the patches manually.
