Cannot get beyond error 0x8024D007 when trying to get Windows Update or Microsoft Update

I tried to get the Windows Update and Microsoft Update on a Windows XP computer as well, but I got the error 0x8024D007 with both.  In view of this error message on your site, I did the registry fix and still no change.

It took me awhile, but I found a solution that worked for me.

1. Remove Service Pack 3 - if in Control Panel , you do not have an option delete, just Start, run and type: c:\windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$\spuninst\spuninst.exe

After removing SP3 restart. Now, go to Windows Update and it should load fine. Go ahead and install high priority updates and reboot again.

2. reinstall Service Pack 3 - it is better to just download the .exe for SP3 file and run it from the machine rather than using Windows Update to download and install. Before you try to run the .exe however, go ahead and avoid the "Access denied" error by typing this command in a command prompt window:

secedit/configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb/verbose (Pay attention to the spaces)

Now you can reinstall the SP3 and Windows Update should work again. If you get hooked to the last part of the installation which is "Scene cleanup", make sure that you have given him enough time to finish (a few hours) then simply open the the Task Manager and end of the process. Reboot, and you're good to go.

* This fix also worked on a Server 2003 that had the same problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled SP2 using the same method. It is now up and running and pulling on the updates.

Microsoft Fix - it that starts automatically when you will allow you to join the article don't fix things not be and it gives me the same error code 0x80072EFD as the update of Windows.

Immediately I could access the internet but when even could not get Windows Update to download updates. I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and still no help. I installed AVG and it finds several viruses on the computer, they were removed and still nothing with Windows Update. I even tried turning off AVG and nothing helped. Help! Frustrated.

  • Error code 646 when trying to install Windows updates.

    Windows updates appear to download but will not be installed.  I tried to go into 'control panel '; Security systems &; then Windows updates.  It checks and concludes that they are downloaded and try to install but won't.   My computer is set to automatically download and install, so I'm never checked to see if they really were the installation so far.  It seems the latest installations of updates took place the 1/11 & 12/01/11.  There has been many failures last year.  Right now, it seems that there are 6 updates important and 6 optional updates that will not be installed.

    I tried to disable my Norton Internet Security and then the installation, but that does not work either.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you.
