Managed to get the Update button in Windows Defender to work (at least
once)
by ensuring the Windows Installer Service was started (although this could
have been a strange conincidence), but still no joy either with the
website
from IE7 or the Automatic Updates.

Then I found a posting that suggested taking a look at
%windir%/WindowsUpdate.Log.

I found the following line:

FATAL: Update required for C:\WINDOWS\system32\mucltui.dll: target version
=
0.0.0.0, required version = 7.2.6001.784

When I looked in windows\system32 there was no mucltui.dll file there. So
I
disabled the Windows Update service, rebooted and copied the mucltui.dll
file
into place from C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\SelfUpdate\Registered. I
registered it (and a load of other files too - based on another post
elsewhere) and set the Windows Update service to start again.

I also tried reinstalling the Windows Update agent by downloading it from
MS
and using the /wusforce flag.

This still didn't work. So I went through the suggestions in TaurArian's
reply (although I admit I didn't register qm*.dll at the end of suggestion
2). I got to Suggestion 3 and tried the trick of renaming the
SoftwareDistribution folder.

Hey presto - both Microsoft Update on the web and the XP Automatic Updates
worked again. That was in the early hours of this morning.

BUT tonight, the old behaviour is back again - when I visit the Microsoft
Update the green progress bar goes back and forth forever.

Once again the WindowsUpdate.Log shows this:

For the Automatic Updates:

For the IE7 website, Microsoft Update:
