Critical updates KB981715 & KB981433; Error code 80070641 (unknown error)
A few days ago had critical update notification, and an optional update. Installation failed several times on updates critical, but accepted the optional (chosen by himself). Tried a manual installation of one of the critical updates of the website was updated with the same result. Just today, I update my Dell laptop and it took the 981715 (the other was not available). I use only the laptop from time to time.
Nothing has changed on my system by me for quite a while. Update history shows correctly updates (98 %+/-) since 10/04/10 & earlier, problems started 4/15.
My specific system config is:
Dell Inspiron 530; 2 CPU 4400 @ 2.00 Ghz
Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2, 32-bit
4.0 GB of memory
AV/Firewall: Norton 360 Version: 3.8.0.41
Browsers: I.e. Version: 8.0.6001.18904IC or Google Chrome 3.0.195.33

Hello domgolf,
Windows Update exception code 0 x 00000641 / 0 x 80070641 usually indicates a problem with the Windows Installer service.
Sometimes it's because of a difficulty to access; Sometimes, that means he is absent or inactive (disabled) for a reason any.
If you have used Iolo System Mechanic or any other registry cleaner for automatic crossings (auto-fix) and these exception codes, the cause is an overagressive difficulty of this app.
First proposal is to cancel these final corrections by S M, then make sure it is not set to autorun or Auto setting.
Do NOT continue to use System Mechanic until there is a permanent fix of Iolo.Contact Iolo (iolo.com) support
and request a permanent solution.
System Mechanic "cleaning the registry" has put a double whammy on your system in having abducted two registry keys.
The following will set things in order for the registry {at least for service setup}, so that you can then move on to redo the update of Windows.
These are for VISTA systems<>
Download this file from Ramesh S http://www.winhelponline.com/fileasso/regfix_vista.zip
Save it to your DESKTOP.
Extract the contents to your DESKTOP.
Click Start, type
REGEDIT and press ENTER key
from the main menu, select file
then Select IMPORT
Access the dialog box (click the icon on the DESKTOP on the left to select)
type regfix_vista.reg in the file name text box and click on the Open button.
Once the merger is completed, you will see a confirmation message.
Click OK when finished.
Then download this second registry-fix
Download and SAVE on your system (on the desktop or in a single folder) following the registry-fix file
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/win-services/Vista/msiserver.regRight click on the msiserver.reg file and select MERGE
When to get confirmation message on the merge, click the OK button.
If you are prompted by User Account Control UAC, allow to go forward.
If and only if the Merge option is not available, and then double-click the file and allow it to merge into the registry.
IF and file '.reg' appears in REGEDIT, when you are prompted whether to merge answer Yes.
When finished with two registry patches, leave / close REGEDIT.
then the costs of closing of session and restart Windows.
Now try Windows Update again in a new race.
Only a custom scan.
Simply select the critical or important updates. (non - select all those in option).
Let me know if it helps. and if so, please click the Green YES (useful) icon to the left.

Important: The above link contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Windows Update fails to install KB974234 and returns the error code 80070641
Previous issues with the installation of the updates or with those who just do not had are released on 11/10, but cannot install KB974234 (published on 10/13). Update returns the error code 80070641.
I am running Vista Home Premium with Office 2007 SP2. Diagnostics Office finds no problem.
Following further discussions, I have (among other attempts): stopped the Service Windows Installer (returns this message "the Windows Installer service is not started"), tried the Patch Registration Cleanup Tool (wouldn't not - said "a productcode must be determined"), downloaded manually updated.
Any help would be appreciated!
