Re: Windows Update Error Code: 80070005

Not much for the old "access denied" code - but -

Suggestion from MS -

Install/reinstall Windows Update Client

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe


The above URL is for 64-bit version or the 32-bit version

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

Please see if installing the 3.0 client resolves the problem.

No guarantees.
