Install fails when using system groups or update groups

Performing an install or uninstall fails when using one or more system groups or update groups.

Problem

The Install or Uninstall task using system groups or update groups does not succeed due to missing update requirements or dependencies.

Explanation

The Install wizard and Uninstall wizards do not resolve group membership until their tasks runs. Group membership is not resolved at the time that the wizard is run. This means that the task may fail because information about updates, such as: update requirements, manual downloads, manual installation, and system restarts cannot be determined at the time that the Install or Uninstall wizard is run.

Resolution

While using the Install or Uninstall wizard, select each update to be installed individually instead of selecting the update group. This will cause the wizard to obtain the necessary information about update requirements.
