Okay, wouldn't have expected it to be the culprit anyway ;) Now, have you tried downloading and installing KB977165 manually already? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e2b348f5-ec8d-4782-bb03-5de550adea77 Assuming you're German and at least using a german languaged Windows XP version (*not* a MUI version!), the following links directly to KB977165 for your system: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e2b348f5-ec8d-4782-bb03-5de550adea77&DisplayLang=de In case you'll receive any error message while trying to install the update by executing the EXE file *after* you've saved that one on a location of your system, please post the error code. There have been some reports, that after installing Windows Installer 4.5 (which is an optional update for Windows XP not beeing offered via Windows Update), some of these problems vanished as sudden, as they occured. You can find Windows Installer 4.5 in DownloadCenter, link below: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f9f4&DisplayLang=de In case you're going to give Windows Installer 4.5 a try, please download and install KB958655 too: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e0735d57-03cc-42e5-823e-60c9efe74aac&DisplayLang=en Warum auch immer Du nicht in der deutschsprachigen Windows XP-Newsgroup nachfragst, Freudi -- X-Deppeninterface-used: yes Infos zu aktuellen Patches für Windows 7 und WinXP: http://patch-info.de

No other error code.

Just to get this straight: The version of KB977165 for *german* languaged Windows XP has thrown the error message after executing it? If true, you're most likely running a MUI version of Windows XP (not uncommon especially for preinstalled Windows XP Media Center Edition versions). Please try downloading and installing the *English* version of KB977165 for Windows XP then. If you get another error message then, please provide the details. >> Warum auch immer Du nicht in der deutschsprachigen Windows XP-Newsgroup >> nachfragst, > > Als ich mit dieser NG angefangen habe, hat es wahrscheinlich die deutsche > Gruppe noch nicht gegeben Och, microsoft.public.de.german.windowsxp.sonstiges existiert seit Sommer 2001 ;) > oder ich habe es nicht gesehen.
