Several updates have failed since 8/27 while trying to install update
7.0.6000.381. I keep getting the error code 800F081F. I attempted the fix
discussed in the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932494/en-us and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891/.

I installed the x86 WUA 3.0, and no changes. I cannot immediately see which
of the 927891 Hotfixes would apply for Vista 32-bit and thus did not install
any of those hot fixes.

Any suggestions?


Why did you choose those articles?
(No reference to that code or its decimal equivalent(s) in either of them?)

Did you try downloading and installing a problem update manually?
With verbose logging? What is the context of the error code then?

BTW if you are experiencing problems with an update independent
of its delivery you may find more informed help in a newsgroup
which specializes in the product being updated (whatever that is.)



Thanks


Good luck
