Start by installing the latest WU client (because you're computer has been in storage for

awhile) -

 

WU Client 3.0 - Windows Update Agent:

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

or for the 64 bit version

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe

 

See if that fixes the problem.

 

If not -

 

Some have reported that simply re-registering the MSXML3.DLL seems to fix the problem.

1. Click Start.

2. Choose Run.

3. In the Run box, type: regsvr32 MSXML3.DLL

Press okay

 

If that hasn't helped you may need to re-registered some more files:

 

1. Click Start.

2. Choose Run.

3. In the Run box, type (pressing okay after each one) :-

 

net stop wuauserv

 

Repeat for the following:

regsvr32 wuapi.dll

regsvr32 wups.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

regsvr32 wucltui.dll

regsvr32 wuweb.dll

regsvr32 MSXML3.dll

regsvr32 qmgr.dll

regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

regsvr32 jscript.dll

 

net start wuauserv
