Windows Vista for x64-based Systems' Security updates - 04.15.2010

Re: Security Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB977816) &

(KB978338)

Hello,

On 4.15.2010, I had a total of 9 Security Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems which were successfully installed. However, 2 of those successful 9 had an equivalent of 5 failed installation each, displayed in the updated history listing. Will the failed 5 make the one successful installation null or void?. So far, I did not see those 2 mentioned updates again to be downloaded.

Should I ignore it and treat it as ok?. If not, how do I search for those 2 mentioned updates. . . or should I wait till it shows up again?

Thank you for your assistance

Hello,

The idea is that if one or two updates fail, the rest will still be fine. The ones that report complete success are fine. The ones that have failed, if the most recent message is success, then they are installed fine. By not coming back, it looks like they have all succeeded at some point, so it looks like no problems here. :)
