Default windows can't upgrade system files

I installed a new program and then restarted the computer
and got the following error:
Windows could not upgrade the file %1 from %2 %1: %2

I read Article 283069 which refers to this error and says
that the solution is to rename the wininit.ini file.
I do not have a wininit.ini file....

Has anyone else had this problem?

Please see my reply to your identical question posted in the
windowsme.systemtools newsgroup.

Has anyone else had this problem?


Yes. Daily, one cause being Symantec's gravely flawed LiveUpdate, yet
another example of the inept programming skills of those at Symantec.
