I get Code 8024D004 when I try to get Windows updates with Vista

[Guest Sharptel]

Can anyone tell me what this code is, and how to resolve it? I can't find it

anywhere on line or in MS "Get Help". I cannot get updates and Vista

constantly tells me that my computer is at risk.

0x8024D004 = Setup has not been initialized correctly.

 

Does that error code show when you attempt to install any update ?

Which antivirus software is installed ?

I have Windows OneCare installed, and it's the antivirus software that I've

been using for 3-4 months without a problem. Yes, that error code shows

whenever I attempt to install any update.

Did the Vista system come with another antivirus that was subsequently

uninstalled and replaced by OneCare ?

 

Please post the WindowsUpdate.log.

Go to Start, in the Start Search line type in

%userprofile%

Your UserProfile folder should now appear in the left frame

Open it and then drill down to the windowsupdate.log

 

%userprofile%\appdata\local\Microsoft\windows\--->windowsupdate.log <----

 

Please post the contents of the WindowsUpdate.log

Perhaps then we'll get an idea as to why the system can not update

No it did not. I used two other antivirus programs before installing

OneCare, but I uninstalled them both and the system has had no antivirus

software for about 4 months.
