Re: 0x80090017 error upon install

If you would, could you post the resolution back here, Ken ? It *may* help out others with the same issue.
And, you have a great 2006, too. ;)

Open the WindowsUpdate.log located in the WINDOWS directory. Scroll down towards the bottom for the most recent entries. Look for an error code associated with the latest install failure and post it here.

Or, right click My Computer on the Start Menu or the Desktop, choose Manage. Click the plus sign next to Event Viewer. Click on System.
In the right frame, under Type, look for Warning and under Source, Windows Update Agent. What you're looking for is Warning AND Windows Update Agent. When you locate it, click the Copy button ( to the right of Computer: )and post it back here. Here's a sample from my system (It was not labeled Warning, though )

Well thanks Tom and MowGreen for the suggestions, but I am still not updating. I tried MowGreen's suggestion first and that didn't change things. I don't see where I can back out the updates, so I can't really "try" that.

I installed around 37 updates yesterday on top of SP2. Today wnen I try to install a few more (both high and other) I download fine, but the installs all fail with a 0x80090017 error. There is no hit in the KB for that error. Any suggestions? Thanks very much.
