Re: Error code 8007000B when trying to install updates

Hi,
There were some typos in the instructions below.
Please try the following


1. Open an Administrator command prompt by right clicking on Start -> All
Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and selecting "Run as
Administrator" and clicking "Allow" for the elevation prompt
2. In the command prompt, type the command below
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\
(This assumes that C: is the drive in which Vista is installed. If it is
installed on another drive like D:, please change the drive letter
appropriately)
3. Reboot the machine

Yes, I did see your post. I've done quite a lot of reading about this, and am
keen to find a solution.

I'm not here to spend hours fixing the problem myself, though. I'm a paying
(corporate) customer and there are plenty of other users with this problem.

I'm happy to send off a log-file or two as I have done, but it's not like
I'm running some Open Source program and need to support myself. :-) I'll
contact Microsoft directly now, but that's an immensely painful process, even
with our licensing agreement.

I've had Vista RTM running on a few machines since late November with mixed
degrees of success. 3 of the 4 builds have problems. You would've thought
they'd have tested Vista a bit more before it was released. They emasculated
Longhorn to the point of reskinning XP -- that should've be enough to keep it
stable!

The last RCs were horrendous. XP was far more stable when it came out, and
was much more of a leap forward.

Roll on SP1. Of all the things that should work, the patching mechanism
should!

See my reply to OP? Diagnosis suggestions given there,
e.g. use verbose log or ProcMon to find out which module
is causing the error code.


Good luck
