Re: Windows Update failure - returns error code 80070436

Hi there,

Getting drivers from windows update is not recommanded unless you like
problems.

If your device is not working proper get a driver updatee from the
manufacturers website: if it ain't broke: do not "FIX" it.

Best regards,
Michel Denie

I'm getting the exact same problem. I haven't been able to find the
answer
yet. I'm thinking it might be an "older" driver so the install recognizes
it
and fails. If you click on the update details before you install, it says
the driver was released December 2006. It seems odd it wouldn't be
"published" on windows updates until April 3rd 2007. Maybe this is a bug
in
the windows update software or possibly Linksys has come out with a new
driver and some yoyo at Microsoft linked it to the wrong file. That's my
best guess since Microsoft has yet to bless us with a page to look up
these
error codes (at least I couldn't find it).

Adapter
Model Wireless -G 2.4 GHZ 802.11g (WUSB54G Version 4) and Windows

Windows Online help does not display that error code... how can I find
out
what the error code means and how do I resolve the failure of the Vista
32
Bit driver update by Windows Update.

Note: adapter is working fine and I previously downloaded and separately
installed the Vista 32 Bit driver (Version 3.1.0.1.01) from the LINKSYS
web
site when I initially set up my new Dell C521 which came with Vista
preinstalled in early Feb 2007. USB Adapter has been working fine...
but
Windows Update flagged it for an update last week...

I am unable to find any definitive information about error code 80070436
from MS support on via general Internet Web Site Search engines.
