Answer 3

Jayant,

Thanks for your reply (I work with Romeo).

The error is occurring on the windows 7 desktops. 5 of 7 downloaded and installed the updates correctly. 2 of the 7 gave the error code above. When searching we found that the error code suggests the pc can't locate the file via http. What we are trying to find out is why 2 of the 7 would have the issue and not the others.

Regarding your suggestion of using a different forum, can we move this question to another forum?

Many Thanks,

Mark
