If you have Internet Connectivity in the Virtual Machine then this is not a Fusion issue per-se... Have a look at:XP will not install updates...downloads them but fails

Not sure what you mean online? I am just running windows update from within windows explorer. I goes through the process and then just give the notice that it was unable to install updates. When I restart xp it states it is updating and windows will auto restart. After it restarts it has not installed the updates. It just keeps going in this loop of not installing. No error in the logs or anywhere. The logs only state that it has updates that are ready to install. It will just not install them.

I installed XP pro the default way on Fusion. Everything runs fine but I cannot get windows update run. It fails stating it cannot install SP1 and several others because my computer is not allowing them to be installed. I have searched everywhere for help on this. Is there something I am missing on the configuration of Fusion? I am running the latest update of Fusion.

Thank you in advance
