Guest Rick Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 When trying to run Win Update I get error 0xC8000423 . How do I get past this error?
Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 0x80244030 WU_E_PT_ECP_INIT_FAILED The external cab processor initialization did not complete. Some explanation, huh ? My guess is that 'something' isn't allowing the system to update the required files needed to update the OS. What antivirus/security software is installed, Rick ?

Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Rick, I have no idea where I come up with error 0x80244030 when you had posted error 0xC8000423. Sorry about that. Perhaps I've seen so many 'new' error codes in this NG from Vista that I'm now totally whacko. <w> Is the version of McAfee installed from an ISP or a retail copy ? Open the WindowsUpdate.log located by going to Start > Run > type in %windir%\windowsupdate.log Click OK. Start at the bottom of the log for the most recent entries and work your way back up to the top. Please post the first section that contains ERROR, WARNING, or FATAL and the 20 or so lines above that.
