infinite loop when install windows updates

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Try the procedure described here:

http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft. [...] d=11&ln=en

You might need to delete the DataStore folder mentioned in the link above,
as well as the Download folder.

Note that a side effect of deleting the DataStore folder is that you lose
your Windows Update History listing (not critical).
