Today I got a prompt to download the fix for KB896424. I have
automatic updates set to notify me but not download or install. I
checked all the updates, clicked on the download button and the
window disappeared. I got no error message whatsoever. I waited but
nothing was installed.

Later today I saw that windows won't download on its own so I went
and downloaded the fix and installed it on my own. Why is this
happening?

Checking the logs for windowsupdate I see this:

WARNING: Update Service: Failed to update backup store
*********** DnldMgr: New download job [UpdateId = {84B38FE7-A6CA-
4E43-A956-A2C53AC0EC0C}.100] ***********

Hi,

I keep getting 'Error Code: 0x8007F004' when trying to install this. When
I use Windows Update to try again it says:
- Download size (total): 0 KB *
- Estimated time at your connection speed: 0 minutes *
- (*Downloaded; ready to install)

So it appears this is ready to install, but for some it keeps failing with
this error.

Thanks for any assistance.

In future, please being a new thread about /your/ problem and errors, Ricta,
instead of "piggybacking" onto someone else's thread.

Windows version? If WinXP, are you using Automatic Updates to install this
and other updates? Have you tried logging in as Administrator to install
this update?

Well, ok but I think this sucks because it was a critical update and
I downloaded it manually without any problems. And it would be better
if it had given some error message instead of me having to look in
the log file to get a cryptic entry.

OK, sorry.

Windows Version: XP Pro 2002 SP2

Auto Updates: Yes. Have also tried using Windows Update site and that's
where I found the error code. Auto update just tells me 'Updates were unable
to be successfully installed'

Administrator: Yes

Re-booted: Yes

Fine but understand that by doing so, you're pushing all the Automatic
Updates users further back in the queue (which may explain, at least in
part, why Automatic Updates hadn't brought them in for you yet).

Hi,

This has now successfully installed ... no specific action taken on my part.
