Re: error 80070424 windows update VISTA

I stumbled onto this thread while also trying to find a solution to "getting
Windows Updates on Vista... and getting error code 80070490". I tried your
fix with the:

net stop wuauserv
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wucltux.dll
regsvr32 wudriver.dll
regsvr32 wups2.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuwebv.dll
net start wuauserv
exit

Unfortunately it didn't work, but while doing it, I did get an error saying
"The module "wudriver.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer
was not found. Make sure the that "wudriver.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file
and then try again. Does this have anything to do with it? Any other ideas?
I use Windows Live OneCare. My last good update was two weeks ago, and it
does not show me any restore points before that date.

Any help would be appreciated.

IF SubInACL works with Vista then why is it erring on the reg subkey you
previously posted ?
NOTE: Vista is not installed here and no such subkey to check

I'll start with the last error code and work back up in the log:

0x80070490 E_PROP_ID_UNSUPPORTED
Permission denied / [Problem initializing or using session variables] or
Element not found

0x80244004 SUS_E_PT_SOAPCLIENT_CONNECT
failed connecting to server

0x80072ef1 ERROR_INTERNET_OPERATION_CANCELLED

0x8024000c SUS_E_NOOP
no operation is needed

The last 3 errors were resolved. This one is what's preventing *some*
updates from being offered :

I don't *think* it's an ACL issue, rather, it's a communication issue
due to some files not being registered properly.
Element not found

Open an *Elevated* Command Prompt by right clicking cmd and choosing
'Run as administrator', stop the WU Service, and then register these
files pressing Enter after each command
NOTE: The net stop command may not be applicable in Vista. If so, then
do this first:
To stop the Windows Update service

You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps.
1. Open Administrative Tools by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel,
clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Administrative Tools.
2. Double-click Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or
confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3. Right-click the Windows Update service, and then click Stop.

net stop wuauserv
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wucltux.dll
regsvr32 wudriver.dll
regsvr32 wups2.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuwebv.dll
net start wuauserv
exit

Restart the system and see if it can update now.

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

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
