Hey all!
I have come to a dead end with an update for Windows Vista. I am posting this thread in hope to solve the problem with your help.
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit SP2 (build 6002)
Genuine: Yes
Windows Update: Installed
Microsoft Update: Installed
Update setting: Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them
Windows Update error code: 13EC
Now, here's the situation. As a result from my Windows Update settings I got an alert from Windows today telling me that there is an important update available that I could download and install on my computer. It was the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows Vista x64-based computers.
I decided to get it. So I check marked it in Windows Update, clicked OK, and then hit the "Download updates" button and it started to download. (It may have said "Install updates" on that button, don't remember.) I waited for it to download which only took like 1 minute, and then, when it was supposed to start installing I hit the Power Off button from the Start menu, knowing that once an update is downloaded I can safely hit the Power Off button because the computer would be powered off first after the update was installed. I was right, because the shield appeared over the Power Off button on the Start menu and once I hit that button the installation status appeared on my screen. That's the way Windows Update works on Windows Vista and that's cool because I was in a hurry and had to leave the computer at home and walk out.
When I came back home the computer was off so I powered it on, but get this: the update was still not installed. I got the alert from Windows telling me that an update is available for my computer, and it was the very same update as I described above. I tried to install it and this time I had time to wait for it to install before powering the computer off again. Only to get an error with the code 13EC.
Where do I go from here?
Has anyone here had this problem?
Are there any known issues with this particular update?
How do you solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!
