Here is an example of the error I get when I try to run Windows update for
these patches:


Error 0x8007000B: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect
format

Here are the actual lines from the Windows Update Log file.

Have also had other sporadic errors when installing Updates directly from MS
site. This is Server 2003, using v5 update, set to download and install
automatically, but most other servers in our enterprise have no problem.

Help?

Are you sure? The log entries look like WUv4 entries.

Note: WUv4 creates and appends to Windows Update.log
WUv5 creates and appends to WindowsUpdate.log


> (Error 0x8007000B: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.)

Perhaps the above discrepancy has something to do with your error?

Another possibility I suppose would be that if you have a 64-bit server
that these files would not be appropriate for it.


BTW in case your WUv5 support under WS2003 is a beta version
you would be better off looking for support in a newsgroup
provided by the beta. (I can't tell what version of WU normal WS2003
users are using but it looks as if they may still be using WUv4.
The best I can find is the vague implication that perhaps WS2003sp1RC2
is needed.)

(Google Groups search for
MVP OR MSFT "windows server 2003" "windows update" "version 5"
)
