Try this:

 

Get Dial-a-Fix:

http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

 

Use its options to fix:

- Windows Installer

- Windows Update

- All the Registration Center options.

 

Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"

Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".

 

Then click "GO" and wait until it is done... Reboot may be needed.

 

- Download/Install Windows Update v3.

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237

(You may need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce" right

after an additional reboot - immediately after logging in.)

 

- Download/Install the 927891 patch.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A

 

- Reboot.

 

- Come back and let us know how things went!

I have just tried the suggestion below, recommended by Bob ((leanin'

cedar)

in a previous email on this site (see Joe Medford - 8.10.07) - it worked.

 

1. Click on Start and then click Run,

2. In the open field type "REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL" (without quotation marks) and

press Enter.

3. When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in WUAPI.DLL succeeded" message,

click OK.

4. Please repeat these steps for each of the following commands:

REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL

REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL

REGSVR32 ATL.DLL

REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL

REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL

REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL

REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL..................hth, sdlomi2
