I'm trying to update to WU 7. I've renamed the Catroot folders for no good, and have deleted the specific certificates for WU 7. The WU manager has asked me to reboot my PC in order to install the necessary files, but once this was done, the same error showed up again.

Again, this has nothing to do with the Office Source Engine, as the correctly installed updates for Office prove. Good to know that compatibility issue with Comodo Firewall, but that's not my case. I've also checked that deleting the correspondign folder under SofwareDistribution doesn't help either.

Well it seems I'm helpless here. I've uninstalled my AV Avast 4. I turned off Windows Firewall and rebooted. Tried to use Windows Update. Didn't work either, so the root of the issue at least in my case seems not to be a specific application blocking traffic from WU. The Windows Defender updates are correctly done when started manually. Manual updates work fine as well. I am in the same position as others after reading this thread at least I know I am not alone.

I have Vista Premium and Norton Security and can no longer update. WU is stuck on 7. I can't uninstall my firewall or antivirus as they came pre-installed on my laptop and although licensed I do not have a separate installer. I have however found something very interesting and probably key to the whole issue.

Please read the following link and comment if you think it is relevant. I can't find any satisfactory solution for this anywhere. Althought the link I posted doesn't offer a fix shame , it might answer the question " Why is it that there is no indication anywhere on the microsoft site about this update?

The ideal for me would be a separate fully packaged and tested release of the new version of Windows Update that can be re-installed on Vista. I have tried following various links and they all give an unrecoverable error when you try to install on Vista. I feel like I am going around in circles. Another fellow sufferer, essentially no matter what I try will not update over Can't understand why Microsoft is so quiet on this one, there are postings all over the Internet about this problem.

After days of trying I would just like to remove the windows update agent completely, but it seems on Vista you cannot do that either!

I agree completely with the last post. Right now this thread has been viewed nearly times. If anyone from Microsoft is listening, there must be thousands of frustrated people out there not just hitting this forum, either trashing operating systems to rebuild or creating holes in their security to try to fix the problem.

With users like myself and I and sure countless others OS rebuild or AV re-install might not be an option. I don't really care if there are political issues with update , I trust Microsoft otherwise I wouldn't be using Vista. Is an uninstall and re-install of Windows Update the answer? I think it is but the problem is that the delivery system of the new version is Windows Update itself. Enough problems Microsoft, please listen to your users and help.

Think I found the problem I had relocated my user profiles to another drive for ease of backup etc. Finally go back and restore the registry settings to their original values. It works for me now and update has gone on and stayed on. During my failed attempts I trolleyed my user account and have lost my browser history and therefore the web address of the guy who solved the problem.

I would really like to credit him and have searched for ages to no avail, , he was dutch, if someone finds his page please credit. I am really pleased this worked for you and I hope it helps a few others out there. I have done nothing to change user accounts, profiles or permissions from the base install that my machine was supplied. I am running Windows Update as an administrator and have tried creating a new administrator user to ensure a clean profile in case of corruption and this also did not work.

Any standard software install should and does in all other cases work. I have seen many people on other forums have logged calls with Microsoft to help but no-one is getting a fix from them. Again, I am a user that values, loves and trusts Microsoft although it might not sound that way sometimes.

A clean installation tool for the new version of Windows Update sounds like the best way forward to me. Has anyone found a way of re-installing Windows Update on Vista? Do other users agree that this would be useful for Microsoft to provide this? I have tried re-regestering all the Windows Update DLL's before and tried again just in case but nope, still didn't work. The installer still gives the unrecoverable fault error mentioned earlier.

Again there seem to be a number of strange things happening with update and if you either have a few weeks to spare, have lady luck on your smiling down on you, a following wind or just enjoy trashing and re-installing your OS, you might just be able to get Windows Update working again. I am beginning to think that Microsoft will sort this in SP1 for Vista and won't touch it until then. This still leaves all us vulnerable users out there with Windows unable to update in the interim.

I suspect a fault caused by the updater that has affected systems in various ways depending on what security was in place. I suspect the existing download available depends somewhat in having various components of Windows Update operational. A full installer for Windows Update prior to SP1 still seems the best solution to me. Has anyone had any positive feedback from Microsoft on this yet? If you are reading this and are connected to Microsoft, take note of the growing community of people suffering from this problem and the number of times these threads are being viewed.

Yes there will be occasional postings from people that have found a fix but this is just nibbling away at the edge. It keeps us busy as we all go off and try another suggested fix but we can't all keep doing. We don't want to know what caused it, we just want a nice clean and easy good quality Microsoft Package to fix Windows Update. Help us please Microsoft. Have tried to figure this out for some time.

Your solution works. I had the error code CA but based on the same problem with a loop asking for installation of a new update for windows update installer update 7. Very dissapointing that MS will release something via the backdoor which has clearly created problems for thousands.

Truthfully, only because of where you posted. Can you tell us a bit more? Perhaps the OS in question? What changed between this working properly and now? If you are using Windows XP, by chance Try it even if you performed some sort of restore - not repair install. Can't figure that out? Only do below if you actually cannot figure out the simple instructions on the web page above Then click "GO" and wait until it is done Reboot will be needed. Calven Guest. RE: update doesn't work This error is most likely caused by one of the following conditions: 1.

Pretty good imho. If you want the new muauth. Smiley89 or anybody, do you know where to download mucltui. After I installed the new Windows Update Agent, and visited Microsoft Update and did a scan for updates, those two files were at version 7.

I didn't check the file versions immediately after installing, so I don't know if they were updated by the installer, or by visiting Microsoft Update. They are updated by the installer. If you extract the executable you can find both desired files. Don't bother trying to download it just yet, because Microsoft have managed to give three broken links to it. For an xbased computer - WindowsUpdateAgentx For an Itanium-based computer - WindowsUpdateAgentx Happy download for all. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.

The update has been recalled and is no longer available on the download center pending a new RU8 release. Customers should not proceed with deployments of this update until the new RU8 version is made available.

Customers who have already started deployment of RU8 should rollback this update. The issue impacts the ability of Outlook to connect to Exchange, thus we are taking the action to recall the RU8 to resolve this problem.

We will deliver a revised RU8 package as soon as the issue can be isolated, corrected, and validated. We will publish further updates to this blog post regarding RU8. This issue only impacts the Exchange Server SP3 RU8 update, the other updates remain valid and customers can continue with deployment of these packages.

And you get to troll Google for all the gotchas, after the fact. Hey, I would have before hand, but it is not always easy to find them until you get the error messages and the data within them.
