Guest shebear Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Hi, I got an error message when trying to do a windows update. It directed me to an article (# 319585) which ultimately directed me to delete the files named: iuctl.dll and iuengine.dll Then it said to go to the Windows Update web page to install new copies of ActiveX Controls. I tried to do this but couldn't find how or where to get this download for Windows 98. Any advice?

Display hidden files 1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Folder Options. 2. Click the View tab. Under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders. 3. Click to clear the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) check box. ....snip.... Remove the Windows Update ActiveX Controls 1. Click Start, click Find, and then click For Files or Folders. Search for the files named iuctl.dll and Iuengine.dll. 2. Delete all copies of these files. 3. Visit the Windows Update Web site to install new copies of the ActiveX controls. ........EOQ................ Windows Update should automatically notice they are gone & commence to reinstall them, as I recall it. Do the rest of what the article said. Also, maybe... (a) Open Explorer to "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files". (b) R-Clk "Update Class", & select "remove". © There was an older one there that also pertained to Windows Update. If you can identify it (forgot its name), remove it too.
