Re: Latest updates for vista fail to install



Running Vista ultimate, with my antivirus uninstalled,

And which AV would that be, diabulos ?
Sadly, some AVs leave file/folder/registry "settings" or services running even though they have been "uninstalled".

800F0826 may be helpful as it means that an update failed to install because another update it was dependent on failed to install.
Open the WindowsUpdate.log by going to
Start > Run > type in

%windir%\windowsupdate.log
Click OK or press Enter

Please post the last 50 or so lines of the log into your reply.

Running Vista ultimate, with my antivirus uninstalled, I try to install the latest updates (shows about 7 of them) in some instances it goes through the motions and ask to restart, then once back, i check the update window and it is still there and it appears as a failed in the update history. Problem is that it keeps doing a system restore and if I delay the restart, then as it fails, it takes me back to the poitn before the failed installation.
The error codes it gives don't appear in the knowledge base nor even via google (what is the point of vista generating an error code that MS has no seeming knowledge of?)

these are the errors I get:

800719E4
800F0826

Any ideas?
