12 installation failure codes updates [Vista Home Basic] __error: 641, 80070641 8007041D___

Never had a problem before but have tried to install these updates 12 (about 16 original) for three days.

Am still getting the error message - sometimes just hangs and I have to use the button restart to escape!

Disabling security made no difference.

Hello

0x80070641means ERROR_INSTALL_SERVICE_FAILURE - the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not correctly installed

  • Update Vista Home Basic to Premium Edition Office to allow access by laptop running Windows 7

    Could someone please advise if I have Vista Home basic desktop Home Premium so I can use laptop running preloaded Windows 7 Office Access? I saw advice that W7 can only comm if Office Home basic is updated! If PORTABLE PERFORMER pre-installed w7 MAY ACCESS DESKTOP. Is this possible and how?

    You can move from Home Basic to Home Premium, but Microsoft sells more than Vista.  You need to find a copy of retail, Vista Home Premium (not OEM) somewhere like eBay.  You can use either a copy of the upgrade or full license to do the upgrade.  eHow has an article on the actual upgrade process.

    http://www.ehow.com/how_6297506_upgrade-Vista-Home-Basic-Premium.html

    The article mentions that you need some version of upgrade, but they speak the old Anytime Upgrade which is no longer available.  Ignore this.

  • Vista Home Basic - update SP2 fails error 0xc0190005 code

    I have and Acer Aspire 5315 with Vista Home Basic installed.

    Today I downloaded and started to install SP2 and all seemed well until reboot, where I am treated to a black screen showing what I presume to be names of files or registry entries because they are updated. The line begins by xxxx/64281 and a dewcription who follows between parentheses.

    This process never ends because it showing:
    "!! 0xc0190005! 22412/64281 (\Registry\machine\schema\ wcm://Microsoft...) »
    The end of this line appears truncated for me so I do not know which file or registry entry that is a failure on.

    I tried to repair using startup options and he didn't offer not a choice of restore points, just tells me it is either restore to a previous state (which stops working after about 5 minutes and then he's here doing nothing for so long let him - more than an hour!) or disk errors fixing which translates to reset and the same error once again product.

    Safe mode does not start and restore the last good known eventually brings us to square one.

    Is there someone who can translate this cryptic error code and point me in the right direction?
    Please Don ' t just point me to an article and if you copy and paste a response, at least be so kind enough to make it readable.

    Vista SP2 offered to your computer through Windows Update or you try to install manually?

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you tried to install SP2?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

    Windows Vista Home Basic preinstalled on my Compaq laptop will not accept code provided with the computer installation. HP can't help. Your say talking to HP and HP technicians say they are unable to help him. I'm now using valid XP. HP say that conflict with Vista. Can anyone help?

    original title: VISTA VS. XP

    Your technicians say talk to HP

    Sorry, this is not Microsoft.  This is a public forum from user to user hosted by Microsoft on its servers for the comfort of its clients, and we all here are volunteers.

    You say you use XP.  What is your question?  What do you mean 'conflicts with Vista?

    I suggest recovery discs you order from HP for your computer.  If HP is no longer the issue of stocks you can order such a third of Recovery - Disks.com.  There are several of these companies.  If you are going to use XP, you need to install XP from scratch and this means that you need XP drivers for your brand and model.  If HP has no XP drivers on your computer you must not try to use XP on it.

    Remember that Vista Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate out of Microsoft support on 10 April and there will be more updates, including critical security patches after that date.  Only Vista business and company will continue to receive updates.  You might consider this a good time to upgrade to Windows 7.  You must download and run the Windows Update Advisor once you restored Vista successfully.

    Hello

    With a HP Compaq laptop press you F11 on startup to start the recovery process.

    But, like the HP advises, if you install another Vista operating system, the recovery Partition is therefore more able to be used.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    I use Windows Vista Home Basic on a Dell Inspiron 1501.  I have recently accepted that some guest downloads Windows with terrible results.  First downloads do not appear to have been accepted and the system of guard stop and startup trying to cancel.  Second as I result, I seem to have lost access to a range of Windows tools.  For example in Panel I can't open system icons or Windows Update.  Nor can I access these services from any other avenue on the computer.  Whenever I have find an icon or a file screen flashes a dialog briefly and then disappears.  The effect of this is that I'm completely unable to access or to implement the recommended tools or services that could solve this problem.  My ability to manage my computer has been reduced to zero.  Dell were not receptive and I can't get a response from Microsoft
