This may help fix a corrupt installer 1. Click on Start and Run, 2. Type "REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL" (without quotation marks) and press Enter. 3.

Guest oscar Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 RE: Windows Update Here's a possible fix: First, let me tell ya that I've tried all those patches and hints and tricks from Microsoft. None of them worked. I got this from a different forum but I forgot which one. 1) download freeware CCLEANER. You'll have to Google it uz I don't have the address handy. Download CCLEANER. Reboot and when computer starts up again, press F8 and go into the safe mode. In safe mode, run CCLEANER. Run Issues. Also use tools to uninstall any programs that you might think are causing problems. After using CCLEANER to get rid of files that may be interfering with downloads of updates then reboot and let computer return to normal mode. Try downloading up dates. If that doesn't fix it then try this... 2) Download freeware, Dial-A-Fix. Google it. When you download Dial-a-Fix perform the 3 tasks: 1) Windows Installer 2) Windows Updates 3) All registration Center . Do Not check any other tasks than the 3 mentioned. You do not have to be in safe mode to do this. Reboot computer and try downloading updates. You might have to do these tasks a couple of times. I tried CCLEANER twice and Dial-A-Fix once. After using Dial-A-Fix, I was able to download my updates and install them. The problem of not being able to install the security updates on my computer is from 2 years of using my machine wihtout cleaning it, installing and uninstalling a bunch of programs in the past 2 years and, also, a service tech had installed a new DVD burner in my laptop and he could've damaged some files. Aother solutions to this problem of not being able to install Microsoft security updates are: 1) turn of automatic updates and forget about 'em. 2) erase your drive and reinstall XP OS and drivers and software. I had lived with option #1 for a month. The only time I had problems was when I tried to install Microsoft security updates. But since I tried using CCLEANER and Dial-A-Fix, my problem has gone away. If these two sharewares work for you, you might want to send them money for their efforts. Good luck. "Darance Jordan" wrote: > I can download the updates, but I can't install them.
