Hi
From Igor Franchuk:

I've encountered the same problem as you did today. When searching
the Internet for the same error in hope for a ready solution in
some discussion forum I surfed over quite a few responses and none
of them were solutions.
After giving up I came up with a solution of our problem. It seems
like there was actually a mistake in the previous versions of
windows update.
After disassembling wuweb.dll that is responsible for webControl
update ActiveX object that is actually handling web based updates
I discovered the place where reboot required message is generated.
After looking in around the code I found that the condition
the message is generated is the presence or absence of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RebootRequired
key.
If the key exists - the message is generated by that brand new v5
update and it fails to work further causing [Error number:
0x8DDD0007].
I assume this key was set up in my registry long ago by the when the
old automatic update (taskbar version) was uploading a new software
and failing to install it.
The solution then is simple remove the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RebootRequired
so there would be only
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update
key without RebootRequired entry.
After I removed the key RebootRequired v5 update started to work
happily, and installed a new version of wuauclt.exe
