When I try to install KB885222 I get the following error messages -

"cannot create a file when that file already exists

kb885222 installation did not complete"

This happens whether I try to install from the web or from my temp file.

I know that the SP2 version of ohci1394.sys is installed in win/sys32/ &
loaded but I would have thought that on the reboot it would be overwritten?

No probs with .cat files

It may be in use? Find out which device is using that module and if possible
stop it before trying to install that patch. Alternatively try using a safe mode boot

Hmm... if that is your primary harddrive that might be a bit difficult!
I agree that the update should be handling this for you but what it should be doing
is installing the driver file(s) with alias(es) and then renaming them during a boot.

However, depending on what exactly the message is referring to the problem
may be occurring long before that eventuality.

If you have a KB885222.log created by the install attempt (or find any other diagnostic
files which have modification times at the same time as the install attempt) use them
to look for clues which refine your symptom description.

Another possibility that I would look at would be to check if the message
is erroneous or misleading. E.g. which file? what version is being installed?
what version already exists? Etc. Use the "File Information" in the KB article
as a guide for some modules you could start such checking with.


Good luck
