KB905474 WGA patch 28-04 fails to install. Fix here
Folks,
They've done it again!!!!
There's a new update to the Windows Genuine Advantage patch, probably to trap another batch of conterfeit copies, but it's not installing clean on valid machines.
I've found this correction that should allow it to install.
If you are on a machine with XP Pro, this has to be done in an account with administrative priviledges enabled.
A problem with registry key permissions may cause the installation of
KB905474 to fail.
These permissions can be repaired using Registry Editor as follows:
1. Click Start, and then click Run
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK
3. Expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
4. Locate the subkey HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LegitCheckControl.LegitCheck
5. Right-click the subkey and select Permissions..
6. Ensure that group Administrators allowed Full Control permission
7. Ensure that username SYSTEM allowed Full Control permission
8. Repeat steps 3-6 for the subkey
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LegitCheckControl.LegitCheck.1
Close Regedit, and try reapplying the patch, in my case, this has allowed it to install.
It's on days like this that I swear on whatever I can find to swear on that the day I see a Microsoft Logo on a flight deck is the day I stop flying on whatever aircraft it appears on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
