Cannot install Windows Easy Transfer for update to Windows 7
I am running Vista Home Premium 64-bit sp2 and upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. I know I need everything back up, install 7 and then restore my data and programs. When I install Windows Easy Transfer, it downloads very well, then on run I get 'Stand Alone Windows Update installation', then "Looks For Updates" and then "update applies to my system" and nothing, fact. I made sure I download the Easy Transfer for Vista 64 bit, but I'm stumped. Any ideas?

No hardware changes or software recently made to the system: I followed the usual procedure to install Windows updates.
Method of connection: wireless
Technical expertise: intermediate level
Performed troubleshooting: because the error # 80071 A 90 type indicated by the system, I followed the instructions of Windows Help and Support, for example to run Microsoft Fix it which did not work; a more advanced method has also been used, who recommended to start Windows Update in Mode safe, then open Windows Update and install the updates and then restart normally. At this point, the problem was that any stage of Windows Update was available.
Hello amib004,
As much as I know, only Windows Update cannot be run in safe mode. That being said, I saw where install several updates may conflict with each other. Try to disable all updates installation and install the updates failed one at a time.

Cannot install Windows XP update KB2718704; error # 0x800A138F
Cannot install Windows XP update KB2718704; Get error # 0x800A138F. I would appreciate a mention of help on this issue. Thank you.
(My Automatic Updates usually work, but this time not to go.) Updates are obtained through IE8 browser, but I prefer FireFox for daily use.)
Thank you! Success!
I used method 2, because I had already tried method 1 earlier, but the "fix it" went wrong. After reading the information from method 2, I opted to use my FireFox instead of IE8 browser, because I suspected that the process Internet Explorer that are included with the update was a large part of the cause of my problem. Among the options, I used Microsoft Download center to locate the update I needed and then through its validation and finally made the download and reboot. Voila!
Can you please explain why the process more automated via IE did not work for me? Why I resorted to the labour process more that I used? Can I expect this of all the other "critical" updates that I get on my machine Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005? Maybe your answers would also be interesting to others.

Get the error code 641, cannot install Windows updates.
Reluctant to do a reinstall of windows. I had the same problem, find the same useless information on a cure. I did a reinstall of windows (Vista) and partially by installing the updates of windows I ran into the same problem again, the windows installer does not. Even from scratch will get not anywhere, leaving you at least your system as it stands leaves can be used instead of a partially updated with no program system.
I wonder if Apple has this kind of problem?Hello
