| N/A | Re: HUGE BUG in Windows Update: KB937061 is installed multiple times The problem seems to me to be that where Windows Update sees that a matching Visual Studio SKU is installed on the local machine, it attempts to apply the update. But Crystal Reports for Visual Studio being an optional component of Visual Studio, it (that is, Crystal Reports) is not always installed. So although Windows Update would report the update as having been “successfully” installed, it would in short order re-prompt to install it again. And again. And again, ad infinitum. (On 32-bit Vista Ultimate, I have entries in WU’s ‘update history’ for one, two, three.. eight “successful” installations of this update..) Adding Crystal Reports to the Visual Studio installation enables Windows Update to properly apply the update and subsequently recognise it as having been installed; incidentally, the process of actually installing the update seems to happen perceptibly more quickly than that of not really installing it but reporting it installed all the same. Finally, subsequently un-installing Crystal Reports for Visual Studio seems also to un-install the update, whereupon Windows Update prompts, again, to install it and one is, presumably, apt to find oneself back in the same cycle. |

| | Re: Why? Bill - I agree BillD - Set your computer to download updates but notify you for approval to install. An update "icon" will appear in the task tray - click to open and select "Custom install" - deselect the update - select option not to receive future notices about the update.
