Re: error 80070424 windows update VISTA

Actually, SubInACL DOES work in Vista - at least it appears to do something.
I had tried that due to the information posted in this topic
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsupdate&tid=1f153ed7-8081-4715-a18a-fbf64f9a0012&p=1

I found the present topic by typing "windows update agent installer
encountered
unrecoverable error" into Google - which is the error I got when I tried to
install it.

My 1166 KB log file only goes back to Sept. 6. Here are the log file lines
from this evening turning on the computer, then manually checking for
updates about 18 minutes later...

Ouch. I doubt whether SubInACL works in Vista.
Could you please post a section of the WindowsUpdate.log by going to
Start > Run > type in

%windir%\windowsupdate.log
Click OK

If possible, locate a section of the log from around 3/20/07.
If not, start at the bottom and work your way up to a section that shows
an ERROR, WARNING, or FATAL. Then copy&paste that along with 30 or so
*preceding* lines into your reply, please.

After reading this conversation and the attempted fixes, I am having similar
difficulty getting Windows Updates on Vista except I am getting error code
80070490. When trying the fixes, I am also running into the same error
messages. Here's a few more details that will hopefully help resolve this
problem for myself and others (hopefully without having to reinstall)...

1. Only running AVG Anti-Virus
2. The Subinacl tool errors on
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Permissions or a subkey of
that (the DOS window is not wide enough to see the full key)
3. Windows Update history shows that all Microsoft Updates (Office, Windows
Defender, and Malicious Software Removal Tool) ARE being downloaded and
installed automatically.
4. Last Recommended Update was on 3/20/07 - KB932246 "Failed"
5. The last successful update was on 2/27/07 - KB929685 "Successful"
6. Control Panel > Programs and Features > Installed Updates shows "No
updates are installed on this computer"

Hopefully this helps get this problem resolved.

Make sure that "wudriver.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try
again.

wuwebv.dll is version 7.0.600.374

thanks for all your help. i've now got hold of a microsoft support team
guy who is trying to help me too, by email. will post any results here,
but i fear it could take some time!
a



You're mowst welcome. Let's see if MS support is able to get wuwebv.dll
up to the latest Version, 7.0.600.381.
'Us' MVPs have been letting MS know through our 'channels' that they
really **need** to provide some place where someone in your situation
can download the latest WUA in order to install it manually.
In fact, I've pointed them to this thread as an example of why they
really **need** to do just that.

Keep us posted and hang in there ! Do NOT let them tell you that the
only resolution is to reformat/reinstall Vista to resolve this issue.
If they do, contact me, please. Same Username but at
gmail.dot.com
