updates for ME
Hi,
I'm having the exact same problem. I've got 15 "critical" updates to my ME OS and I get the same error as listed below. I've tried to close every program running by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and clicking "endtask" on each thing listed except "explorer". Again, when I try to install, I get the same error. Help!

updates for ME
Have you been running with the Quack?
Are you running Norton System Quack - - errr - Doctor? If so, then read on...... (read on anyhow - Norton is only the most common cause) You may have up to 32,000 empty OEM*.INF files sitting in your c:\Windows\INF folder, which prevents any program putting a legitimate *.INF file in there (it also slows your system down to a stop, trying to read them and sort the [non-existent] contents!). You need to DELETE all 0byte (and ONLY the 0byte) OEM*.INF files. look here for information on how to do that , and how to prevent it happening again (i.e. TURN OFF NORTON SYSTEM DOCTOR - unless you are actively troubleshooting something) The Symantec site: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...15010309&src=n also "Computer Stops Responding (Hangs) During Setup, Installing Updates, or Adding New Hardware" (http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q281967) also http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q301540 (which contains the fix for your problem in the NOTE under the patch description) Phone your Local MS office, and tell them your problem quoting Q301540 - they'll either send you the patch, or give you a one-use password, for the cost of the call.
