Re: Error 0x800703e3 when trying to install Windows update program

Hello,

Thx MowGreen for the link of the Download Agent, I had this problem for a
while now and
I couldnt find a solution. Just installing the .exe solved my problem.

Really appreciated ! :D

regsvr wuaueng.dll

(note the space after regsvr)

Click OK. Now enter these one by one and click OK after each

regsvr atl.dll
regsvr wuapi.dll
regsvr wucltui.dll
regsvr wups.dll
regsvr wuweb.dll

Next, download the WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe and save it to the Desktop -
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43264

If it says "Install is not needed since Windows Update Agent is
already installed", run WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe with the command
line switch /wuforce, like this:

WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe /wuforce

Click Start > Run > click the Browse button
Click the Desktop icon in the left frame
Click on WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe, then click the Open button
The command line will appear as

"C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Desktop\WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe"

Click on the command and it will highlight in blue. Now left click once
after the last quotation mark "
Press the Space Bar once, then copy&paste this - /wuforce

The command will now look like -

"C:\Documents and
Settings\<UserName>\Desktop\WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe" /wuforce
(<UserName> is your User Account's name)
Click OK to run it.
Restart the system and try to access Windows Update once more.

MaryE,

Yup, there are plenty more, that was the most complicated one. :)

Open the WindowsUpdate.log located in the WINDOWS directory (folder).
Scroll down towards the bottom for the most recent entries. Copy and
paste the last 30 lines of the log into your reply, please.

Thanks for the suggestion. I followed your instructions and there was
nothing except the "default" entry. Any other suggestions

MaryE,

Go to Start > Run > type in

regedit
Click OK
Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Setup

by clicking the plus signs. Then click the plus sign next to the Setup
folder.
Click on the ServiceStartup folder.
In the right frame, these should be the only entries you see

Name - (Default)
Type - REG_SZ
Value - (not set)

If there are any other Names listed besides (Default), then right click
them, and choose Delete.
Close the registry editor by clicking all of the minus signs all the way
back to My Computer. Exit the registry editor.

[*** NOTE: *** DO NOT delete anything else from the registry, please.
Improper editing of the registry may render the system inoperable.]

Restart the system.
Revisit Windows Updates.

Did that resolve the issue ?
