Instalation Error [80072F8F] RRS feed

  • Question

  • Recently I attempted to install Live Mesh on my Home desktop, running Windows XP.

    I encountered the error code [80072F8F] which said "Content decoding has failed."
    I tried redownloading the file, but this made no difference. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem?

    Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated,

  • Hi Andrew,

    In order to determine what is happening here, we'd like to take a look at your Servicing log.  Please see the Announcement at the top of the forums on collecting logs and submitting bugs for instructions on finding the Servicing log - though you can just send the log to lmprev@microsoft.com (you don't need to open a bug in Connect).

    Thanks,

    Ben.

  • I have the same problem:

    "Live Mesh service is unavailable. Please retry your instalation later. The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response."
    [Error: 80072F78]

    I have Windows XP SP3, and haven't LiveMeshLogs...

  • Stephen,

    I download: http://download.windowsupdate.com/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/7.2.6001.788/windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe, and install but the installer show me: "Install is not need since Windows Update Agent is already installed."

    I can't install Live Mesh.

    Saludos,

  • The best I can suggest at this point, Patricia, if the WU agent is up to date, is for you to submit a bug report.
     

    How to Submit Bugs and Live Mesh Logs

    The instructions include how to get the servicing log for a failed installation.
