What module is not found? Is there any supplementary information in the Event Viewer Application log? WindowsUpdate.log with verbose logging? (Ref. KB902093). If necessary you could Run... ProcMon to capture the file access failure which probably generated this message. The same diagnostic approach could be used to clarify some of your other symptoms. E.g. when you installed the Update Agent you got 0x8007041D That is probably just a different symptom of the same problem. This could be yet another symptom of it. (Copied from below.) > 2008-08-09 08:49:23:921 948 a0c COMAPI FATAL: Unable to connect to the > service (hr=80080005) Again, ProcMon could clarify this by supplementing the message with related file and registry accesses. Hmm... here is a specific message about a missing module. > • Regsvr32 Wucltui.dll - module not found What did you try to do about that? Oh. I see it could be a symptom of just a difference in implementation between x64 and x32 versions? And that you have seen other differences in that regard using the suggestions you have picked up in your quest. Unfortunately I have no knowledge of such differences.

Using ProcMon falls into that other 1%? <eg> (BTW I'm not even certain that there is 64bit version of ProcMon for you to try.)
