Windows vista update error: 80070005 wrote:
Getting the 80070005 error when attempting windows update - vista ultimate -
Office 2007

I did a google search and some results said it was an access denied problem
and suggested using SubInACL but none of them said if the error number or
the program was for vista specifically, and SubInACL does not list vista as
supported. I tried it anyway with no success. One site had a suggestion to
change some things with Dcomcnfg but nothing there needed changing. I also
tried to download two different manual install files for the windows update
installer but both of them failed. I tried to download SP1 manually and
install it and got the same error(80070005). I followed the link that SP1
gave me from the error and tried the steps there but they didn't work. I
tried to download a couple updates to help fix update problems(one released
a day before SP1) but both said "The update does not apply to your system".
I checked the windowsupdate.log and the last two KB's that appeared before
the problem are KB946041 and KB905866. I tried to download and install them
but got the same message as the other manual downloads. When you click on a
manual download file it says "searching for updates". Do the manual install
files still use windows updates to install? Kinda funny how a fix for
windows update can't install because of the problem that it's trying to
fix. Tried system restore and that didn’t work. Tried to reset the
SoftwareDistribution folder and that didn’t work either.

These couple lines appear hundreds of times in windowsupdate.log
I could report the problem in an email but I figured i'd try here first.
And I might have provided more usfule information on the problem.

So... any more ideas?
