Re: Error code 8000FFFF


This is John at Dell headquarters.

I was able to find the following solution to this problem:

1. Click on Start -> All
Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and selecting "Run as
Administrator" and clicking "Allow" for the elevation prompt (this will
open the command prompt as administrator)
2. In the command prompt, type the following command (without quotes):
"fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\"
(This assumes that C: is the drive in which Vista is installed. If it's
installed on another drive like D:, change the drive letter to that
drive. On Dell machines, C: should be default)
3. Reboot the machine
4. After reboot, install the updates again.

If this works, let me know.
