Windows Update error 80070422

12-Aug-07



I found that the service "Windows Modules Installer" had been stopped and disabled. I had never gone into my services and stopped it so I assume another program did. However, I do not see that listed in the dependencies for Windows Updates or visa versa? As soon as I turned it on, my updates came back on.

Windows Update (Error 80070422)

I have been unable to do any updates since I got my new computer with Vista

Basic. I continually get the 80070422 error. I have gone into

Administrative Tools and checked Properties under Windows Update. At first

Automatic (Delayed) was selected, and I changed that to Automatic. The

Service status was already on Started. However, I still cannot do any

updates and still get the above error message.

Check the Dependency Tab on either of the above Services - It appears

something is missing from the service (80070433 error). Try to determine

what is missing.



To register the Wuaueng.dll file, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 Wuaueng.dll, and then click OK.

2. When you receive the following message, click OK:

DllRegisterServer in Wuaueng.dll succeeded.

You may receive an error message that contains the "0x8DDD0018" code or the

I renamed my software distribution folder and retried updating with no

it showed again with the same update and today when I checked, that update is

This may possibly what is happening if you've upgraded XP to Vista system as

I have. Update "detects" but it may take a couple of times for it to do so.

The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.







Look for some context in your logs to figure out *which* service cannot be started? }



In case Gistcheckin's guess for the OP was correct. You could also try using bitsadmin

(in a cmd window) to both check the status of your BITS service and optionally repair it.



Note that another service being disabled was identified as the problem cause

by another poster to this ancient thread.





Good luck
