|> Fixing Windows Vista Home Premium after installing KB937287 "Windows
|> Update"
|> In Microsoft Vista Home Premium, there was a screwed up update.
|> It kept rebooting the computer and displayed this message: "Configuring
|> Updates Stage 3 of 3" and would go from 0% to 100% before rebooting
|> again. Safe mode offered no help as the same thing happened. Going into
|> System Restore said there were no valid restore points because something
|> wasn't running. I called 1-866-pcsafety and they helped me through this
|> resolution.
|>
|> To resolve this - get to a command prompt:
|> The command prompt may display as "X:" - if it does, type "C:" and
|> press enter (changing the location to the boot drive).
|> Change directory to the "C:\Windows\winsxs" folder by typing:
|> " CD \ " (press Enter)
|> " CD \Windows\winsxs " (press Enter)
|> Rename the file named "Pending.xml" to something else by typing:
|> "ren pending.xml pending.xxx" (press Enter)
|> Run registry
[safely clean and repair the Windows registry with a few simple clicks] by typing "Regedit" and press Enter.
|> Search for the entry with this description: "Advanced installer need
|> resolving"
|> and delete it.
|> Search for the entry: "Pending.xml identifier" (which will be 2 lines
|> or so after the first one) and delete it.
|> End the Regedit and reboot. You should be OK.
