Background service missing to install updates

Please I need someone from Mozilla to contact me about this.

On tools, then Options tab, under view update history, use A background Service to install updates, then now that I can't check this to do not allow installation service updates.

I've just updated 15.0.1 and the above option was there, now that I've upgraded to 16.0.1 he went.

Mozilla updated properly on my laptop and the husband, but not mine, so what I do?

Have I not a corrupted version of Mozilla Firefox? I uninstall Mozilla Firefox and reinstall again?

Thank you.

Your screenshot shows that the service is installed and available.

Is this screenshot on your computer or from another computer?

You have the file "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Maintenance Service" with the program maintenanceservice.exe in there?

If this service is not installed properly, you should tr run Setup to reinstall this service.

  • Cannot install updates due to error code 0 x 80246008 and the BITS service is missing from the XP computer.

    Original title: Windows Update will not install on the new load XP

    Hi all

    Thanks for your replies.  Sorry I didn't answer sooner, but he got late last night, and I got to reregister the Qmgr.dll and Qmgrprxy.dll BITS files.

    I clicked Start, click on run and typed the command following, and then click OK:

    Start, run and in the run box, Type regsvr32 qmgr.dll, click OK.
    Start, run and in the run box, Type regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll, click OK.

    I was then able to start the updates.  There are 124 updates, the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for versions of .NET 2.0 to 3.5 (KB951847) x 86.  He downloaded 124 updates, but even once asked me to insert the disc for qmgr.dll when he was installing the 10th update.  I find the qmgr.dll file again and pressed OK, but it seems to hang forever and do nothing, then I simply cancelled updates and closed during the night.  I have been relieved to have solved the problem of BITS, but is concerned by the hang up on the tenth update installation and he called again for the qmgr.dll file during the installation of updates.

    This morning, when I rebooted, it installed some updates at startup, and I restarted again.  He then held I first install the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for versions of .NET 2.0 to 3.5 (KB951847) x 86 to date.  N BITS issue for that.  It took time, but completed settle.  Restart again and now there are only 21 updates to high priority required.  My guess is that he downloaded all 124 updates last night, but when I cancelled the installation after hanging on #10, he just started to install it again this morning and did so successfully.

    However, when I try to install the 21 remaining, he has not once again, and I find that the BITS service is not in the services again.  After I have re-enter the BITS service and restart it, the downloads are working again.

    I am now what I may need to reinsert and restart the BITS service whenever I need to download an update.

    Ideas, suggestions or comments?  I am slowly solve problems and if I persist, I can get this all taken care.

    Hi Dan,.

    From what you wrote, I understand where you are getting confused. Here are the steps to follow to solve this problem.

    Open the Windows search tool, copy / paste the following text, and then click Search: qmgr.dll

    Research should show this file in the following locations:

    C:\Windows\System32
    C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\bits

    I hope they are all present, follow these steps to register the service.

    Click on start, run and copy/paste: regsvr32 qmgr.dll and click OK
    (If you do not have the command run in the start menu, hit the Windows key + R, instead)

    Do the same with this file: regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll and then restart.

    Here are the next steps.

    Copy / paste this command in the field to run, and then click OK
    %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\qmgr.inf

    Windows will launch a dialog box asking you to insert the Windows installation CD. Ignore this and change the way downstairs to C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

    The reason to change the path to the i386 folder is that the files that are there are newer than those on the Windows installation CD.

    Then restart the PC again and continue with the rest of the troubleshooting steps.

    Click on start, run and copy/paste the following and click OK: services.msc

    You should now be able to see the Background Intelligent Transfer Service, or just "BITS" displayed in the list of Services.

    Double click it to open BITS and then click on the Start button. This is just a test to make sure that it works correctly.

    If you get 2 error: cannot find the specified file, click on start, then run again and copy / paste the following command, and then click OK:
    Tracking Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters /v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dll

    Restart then try and start the BITS.

    If you get the same error again, copy / paste the following text in the field run and click OK:
    Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

    Reboot once more and then try and start the BITS.

    Let me know how you please.

  • How to replace "apply downloaded update now" with "Check for Updates" in the menu help when the update fails because the downloaded update files are missing but the "Ready to install update" window keeps appearing?

    Question

    I have another type of problem with Firefox

    Description

    Window "Ready to Install" Firefox "Software Update" appeared. The folder "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\0" contained the files update.mar, update.status and update.version. Each of the 3 files have been deleted. The next time that Firefox has been started, no update occurred because update files were missing. In the Menu bar, clicking Help showed in the menu drop-down that "apply downloaded update now" was always on the list. By clicking on "Apply downloaded update now" open "Software Update" window "Ready to install update", so that Firefox still considers that the update files exist, but they do not. In the window "Software Update", by clicking on "Restart Firefox" restart of Firefox, but once again it there's no update, and remains "apply downloaded update now" on the Help menu. How can "Apply downloaded update now" be replaced by "Check for Updates" so the update files can be downloaded?

  • Missing = respect, but do not install updates

    We have 12 identical blades of H/P, divided into two groups.

    We have two basic lines of Manager Update for these groups. One contains the specific updates from VMware and the other contains updates of H/P.

    I staged and updated the first cluster and all updates have been installed and the hosts show as being compliant.

    The second cluster of all installed updates from VMware but have not installed six of updates of H/P;

    In the case where it's important, upgrades included VMware 5.0 update 3.

    The task of staging and the task of reorganization show to have successfully completed.

    I tried this several times on one of the hosts. Manually set the host mode maint. Rebooted the host.

    I ran "list esxcli software vib" on the single host in each cluster (assuming that this is the way to determine what H/P updates have been installed) and it shows the same information for both;

    You don't know where to go to find out why a cluster shows as being compliant and the other is not.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    We tried just remove all the patches that are missing compared to the reference with the exception of the last two years and these two successfully installed and seems to have installed others too since they show now installed and the host respects now.

  • Error 643 when installing update security for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (KB9739724) and a security update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB9739723).

    I downloaded both of these updates and was asked to restart my computer in order to install them.  When I restart my computer it says: "Installation to update 1 of 2..." and then finally she said "Shutting down...". "But my computer never stops.  Fifteen to twenty minutes later, I get a blue screen that says something about the dumping of memory, then the computer reloads the login screen.  When I log in, I get the 643 error message that says that it was unable to install the updates.  As a side effect of this error whenever I try to shut down my computer, it tries to reinstall the update again and my computer never stops.  Even when I unplug the wall remains on him.  I tried to use system restore to go back to the point before I installed the update, but it loads just for a while and then said: "system restore has failed."  I read in another thread that you are not allowed to bring support for updates associated security update.  If this is the case then I need at least to help make my computer stop trying to install these updates when I shut down my computer so it stops correctly.  Thank you.

    RAH66Comanche,
    With these security updates, it is better to get them installed.  You can run the following tools to ensure that there is no system problems:
    Disk error checking
    System File Checker

    Then, run the System Update tool and try again to install updates.

    If you just want to try to hide these updates, you can perform the following procedure:

    Click Start Menu > click the button run
    In the Open box, type %windir% & then click OK.
    Note the %windir%\System32 folder is the folder where you installed Microsoft Windows.
    Find the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.
    Right-click the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder and then click Rename.
    Type SoftwareDistributionOld & then press ENTER.

    Then go to Windows Update and hide the 2 updates.
