  • Error code 641 and code 80070641?

    When you try to download updates, I get an error message that indicates the code 641 and code 80070641?  What does that mean?

    Hello

    I use Vista Business Service Pack 2.  I also use System Mechanic Pro for registry cleaning and other repairs.  Sorry, don't know what button I need to uncheck-can you let me know?

    Thank you!

    One very high.  Assuming that you wrote the answer before, and then click the cancel the Green MARKING to clean it (first).

    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 to the series automatic (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<>

    Hi LornaAggett,

  • Cannot install the updates, the error codes 641, 8004ff01, 80070641

    Windows vista basic, cannot install updates to the codes .errow 641, 8004ff01, 80070641,.

    1. If you have backups of ALL the changes that System Mechanic and RegCure Pro have ALREADY made to your computer, restore EACH of them, restart & test.

    If no joy...

    2 system Mechanic is probably your troublemaker & you have lots of company! [1]

    See my colleague Maurice RESPONSE message in this thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/d6fedf33-dc1b-451f-9aab-97429f916180

    If still no joy, contact System Mechanic (iolo.com) supported for assistance - and they are well aware of the problem posed their candidacy.

    TIP: If you think that more never your registry database needs to be cleaned, repaired, boosted, to the point, healed, twisted, fixed, magnified, "swept" or optimized (and even more to convince that it is not), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.
