The solution is to register the Windows Update files. To do this go to the

start button then run:

regsvr32 wuapi.dll (enter) you should see a confirmation message.

regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

regsvr32 wucltui.dll

regsvr32 wups.dll

regsvr32 wups2.dll

regsvr32 wuweb.dll

 

Reboot and go to the windows update site and try again. This always works

for me when updates download but fail to install.

This works! Great help!

I'm just wondering: why did it fail to register in the first place?

It's just that I'm afraid that it is a symptom of a deeper problem,

which I haven't encountered yet...
