What a useless article--no deployment or file info.

Does it have an option for verbose logging? E.g. try starting it with /? to list
your deployment options or just guess that /verbose will work.

Searched for what? There are numerous discussions which mention this update.
Most seem to involve error code 0x80073712.

This error code is even less descriptive:

<cmd_output OS="XPsp2">
E:\>set /a c= 0x57
87
E:\>net helpmsg %c%

The parameter is incorrect.
</cmd_output>


Try looking in the install log to find out *what* parameter is incorrect? ; }


BTW I don't have your OS so I'm cross-posting to a Vista-specific NG.


Good luck
