kb2647753 keeps wanting to install over and over

[stapp]

In case others are seeing this from the latest round of Windows Updates, here is a little bit of info

There is a problem with the detection logic which is being investigated

I have hidden it until they sort it as it was driving me mad

This is on Win 7 64bit

Did you trying to download it manually (as I heard that resolved the issue for most) and then install it?

Just finished a detailed step by step, cross posting it here.

What is KB2647753?

It's a non-critical but recommended update to the printing core components for Windows 7 and Server 2008. It does not apply to Server 2003 or Windows XP.


Here's how to manually fix it:

a) Open your Control Panel, go to "Programs and Features" (also known as "Uninstall a program" if you use the Category view in Control Panel)

b) Click the link on the left to "View installed updates"

c) I recommend changing the view to Detailed view and sorting on Name, then scroll down to the Microsoft Windows section and locate: "Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2647753)"

d) Right click KB2647753 and UNinstall it . . . wait for the process to complete.

e) Reboot your workstation

f) Get over to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2647753 and download the full installer for this patch - make sure you get the right version for your OS including x86 versus x64. You will be asked to allow Microsoft to Validate your Windows OS license.

g) Run that installer, let it complete, then reboot your workstation again.

h) Check your Windows Update, force a check for updates, and the repeat offender should now be gone.

Hope this helps.

It worked for me

MS has been alerted of this, I do not know if the issue currently has a permanent fix as it only arose yesterday. One problem was WU | WSUS offering the KB over and over, the other was a fail to install the said KB.
Microsoft answers will announce one they have something more tangible. I'm sorry I don't have more at this time.

Microsoft resolved the problem with KB26477353 yesterday. A newer (rev 101) version was uploaded to the release channel. If you have the "failed" install, all you need to do is check for updates and the new version will be provided. If you haven't updated yet, you'll receive the new version.

As siljaline said, the problem wasn't with the actual update but rather with a WU logic issue.

Many thanks for the clarification, Corrine.
