Now they've broken it altogether.
So now I've checked the two registers on the counter here, which are the pharmacy register and the front store's express register.
Pharmacy register: 52 updates ready to install.
Edit: It's worse than I thought. One of those 52 updates was SP3. This means that it needed 51 updates just to bring it up to the point where I can even install SP3...
Front store register: Still running XPSP2; therefore windows update doesn't even work. Currently downloading SP3 manually. G_d knows how many it's going to need after that.
Edit again: The front store register finished downloading SP3. I go to install it, it takes forever unzipping everything, and then gives me "You do not have permission to update windows. Contact your systems administrator."
Oh well. I guess that one's on its own then. I'm going home.
Of course, these are the last updates these computers are likely to get, because whoever administers our SonicWall has recently dropped download.windowsupdate.com in the blocklist as a Freeware/Software Download site. (Gee, ya think?? ) Now whenever we try to get new updates, it fails with an Error 0x80190193 because it can't reach the server. I'm going to have to have Words with our firewall administrator, if I can even find out who he is.
