Do others who are having problems with the KB891711 Windows Update
also have running the Spybot Search and Destroy Teatimer? I ask
because we're trying to put together all the commonalities of systems
having KB891711 problems.
In the Spybot S&D forum on their site, they're talking about it, too.
A Spybot advisor says, "I'm guessing Spybot's Teatimer may be
interacting with the installation of this update and causing its
completion to fail. However, this is pure speculation at this point
since I've done no research to confirm this yet. I recommend anyone
with this problem simply disable the registry entry from running, as
you have, until the actual problem is confirmed and a true 'fix' is
recommended, either by Microsoft or someone who's truly investigated
the issue. "
