Re: error 80070424 windows update VISTA



80070424
Due to a bug in BITS 1.5 OOB setup, after BITS 1.5 install, the BITS service is deleted, but the 1.5 install returns success code. BITS 1.5 binaries are copied to the machine, but the service doesn’t exist. This can also happen if the BITS service is explicitly deleted by running the command sc delete bits

The above explanation was for a previous Version of BITS but, there *has* been an update for BITS since Vista came out.

Is BITS disabled ? It can be set to Manual and the system will update successfully but, will not update if BITS is Disabled.
Suggest you run the BITS Repair Tool to see if that helps resolve the issue after installing the update for it:

if i put regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll into run, i get this error msg:
(in a RegSvr32 window) The module "wuaueng.dll" was loaded but the call
to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005.

0x80070005 refers to an Access Denied message. Either the file is not present and no security descriptor can be written to it or, 3rd party software is 'protecting' it from any changes.
Locate wuaueng.dll in WINDOWS\system32
Right click it, choose Properties
Click the Version tab
What Version level does it show ?
It should be 7.0.6000.381

What is the antivirus software and/or security software currently installed ?

please!


Hi, i've tried the solutions in the XP section to this error, but no
joy.
Anyone know what to do? Every time I click on 'check for updates' the
screen changes to 'checking for updates' then a moment later says
'windows could not search for new updates' and Error found 80070424.

if i put regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll into run, i get this error msg:
(in a RegSvr32 window) The module "wuaueng.dll" was loaded but the call
to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005.

any help much appreciated!

i've turned user account control off, and regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll has
'succeeded', but this has made no difference. i still have error
