Error 646 on Windows update in VISTA Ultimate.
I had this problem for over a month. I start a separate thread because I noticed another symptom that seems to have started at the same time. In the days of XP and 2000 I think I remember having a similar problem and a MS Tech told me that it was because of my "script host" undermined.
The reason I mention that it's here that if I run the Windows 7 upgrade advisor he doesn't and several downloadable programs Google works, but generate Notepad to open. It was the same symptom that happened years ago, when when Windows update does not work.
Once, when I run Windows Vista update I get updates 7-8 and they cross apparently but then all fail with error message 646! Is there something in Vista as 'Scripten? That's what I was told to use when I got this error in XP. I suspect one of my security programs did a 'change of file association' causing Notepad to open the code instead of running. Update of Windows Vista does not open Notepad, but the coincidence of other programs cannot open while Windows update fails before occcured under XP and once again I said he had something to do with a Script Host?
Sorry for the hike. Can I switch to W7 but wonder if it works with no problem?
Thank you very much. This corrects the problem. Also I could not run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor before and now that also works after you run the hotfix you listed.

Error 646 in Windows Update dt000
I tried to install this update since 10 December and even tried a few suggestions when I went for troubleshooting. Is this update very important for me to continue to try, can someone give me the best way to fix it (I'm not a computer's brain), and if not, how can I at least get to stop alert me to this topic, if there is no hope of installation.
Please tell us what update that fails to install since December 10.
You could even indicate what operating system, including the level of service pack etc and if you use an Office program and what version.
The General workaround solution for the * 646 * error is to manually install the update (especially if it is an update of the office).
Otherwise post returns with all the relevant information and give us at least one kind of luck to help you.

update of sql server 2005 service pack 3 error code 6D9E Windows update security does not accept the update
Hey lasdj,
Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!
If you receive Windows Update error 6d9e while installing SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 by using Windows Update, it means that the installation folders and directories are compressed or encrypted.
To fix this problem, make sure the folder locations where you are installing the service pack to aren't compressed or encrypted, or specify a different folder and then run Windows Update again.
Therefore, remove the compression of the DATA directory and run together to the top again.
Remove compression from the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server folder and see if you are able to install the updates without any problem.
See the links below for more details:

MS wrote to install my DVD of microsoft, but I did not. I don't think I had one for the last 3 computers I've owned.
I made a disc repair system if that helps and you have run the MS malicious software tool and the update tool.
So far I have not found anything that even begins to point me in the right direction to solve this problem.
The computer is a gateway.

I tried everything I know and I can't get Windows Update for Vista. I tried Fixit, F8 during restart, but without success.
Hello
You don't tell us if you get the error codes or not.
You need SP2 must be installed to support still available for Vista.
Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.
It will also tell you which SP you have installed.
Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, installation of SP1 first if it is not already installed.
Vista SP1 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30

error 80072F8F with windows updates.
I run windows vista professional. have encountered error 80072F8F with windows updates. It also seems to have an impact on the renewal of McAfee. I'm not very wise computer & so very frustrated. McAfee has suggested that I have the problem of windows?
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80072F8F
If Windows Update error 80072f8f during updates, date and time on your computer may not be identical to the date and time for the service online from Windows Update. Your computer and the service have no need to have an identical date and time, but if they vary too much it will prevent you from checking for updates.
Make sure your internet box etc. is correct also.

- Applications or processes that interfere with Internet communications
- Problems on your computer
- Strong Internet activity
- Recoverable database errors
