WGA(KB892130) Will Not Install

stevio27 · 04-16-2006, 04:12 PM

If I go to update.microsoft.com, I cannot update anything unless I first install the Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130) However, it will not install for me. It will download, but the installation will fail. I have tried this 5 times on 5 different occasions. My version of Windows XP IS a legal purchased copy. Here's some screens of the problem I'm seeing:

Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem on two different machines. Both XP Home with SP2 already installed. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Everybody,
Microsoft® are aware that the WGA tool has a problem, once you download the diagnostic tool and run it you will need to contact Microsoft to get them to 'validate' it again.
This happened to me last weekend with a brand new Xp Home CD.
Kind Regards,
