I HAVE THE FIX FOR THIS.. FINALLY 5 DAYS
Create this folder and it will install


c:\windows\system32\logfiles
create a folder called firewall and the hotfix will install

c:\windows\system32\logfiles\firewall

This fixes it!! YIPPEE worked on 3 PC's for me all versions.
 
Thanks for posting this, JDD ! That method, as well as one for Vista
x64, are listed here : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935807

I already got one called LogFiles rather than logfiles.

Directory of C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles

06/14/2007 09:03 PM <DIR> .
06/14/2007 09:03 PM <DIR> ..
07/17/2007 10:01 PM <DIR> Scm
06/14/2007 09:03 PM <DIR> WMI
07/17/2007 07:48 PM <DIR> WUDF
0 File(s) 0 bytes
5 Dir(s) 180,320,645,120 bytes free

Should I delete it and recreate or rename it or what? As you can see it does
not have a firewall subdirectory.

The KB article specifies, for Vista x86 :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935807

\LogFiles\Firewall
> %windir%\system32\logfiles\firewall

So, yes, the Firewall folder is needed. Why not just follow the method
laid out in the KB ?

Thanks, got it and it worked fine. I was confused as it states a case
sensitive directory should be created then below in the example it removes
the case sensitivity of the directory. I have since learned that Vista
directory names are case insensitive so while the instructions are
inconsistent I guess it does not matter.

Thank you John Dean Dallas for being the first person to post a "real"
solution that is extremely simple, helpful, and work. This update also
worked 100% well for me though I did check 4 times with my updater so my eyes
are not playing tricks on me. It really did work. Thank you so much.
