Error 8004FF01 installing KB2691905 via windows update

Original title: How can I fix a corrupt Windows Installer?

Windows Update will not install important updates such as KB2691905 and lists error code 8004FF01. I tried Microsoft Fixit, but which did not help. I ran the anti-malware cleanup tools to remove previous antivirus programs. I am now running Microsoft Security Essentials.

I had this problem and went through 4 Microsoft support technicians. First reset Windows Installer and things seemed to work properly. The next two had me go through a lot of things and eventually remove Microsoft Security Essentials and not allowing me to reinstall. Then I got a virus. The fourth technician was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I think they called him an "escalation engineer. He has been able to get rid of the virus, reinstall MSE and reset Windows Installer. He concluded that the cause of my problem was that I had to st System Mechanic automatically repair the registry. He said that Microsoft had not recommended the use of registry cleaners registry shouldn't it. He said that other parts of System mechanic were fine and that he could be useful. In short, he set the parameters of repairing two registry System Mechanic to disabled and I have not had problems since. I hope this helps.

  • Error 800705AA during the upgrade to Windows 10 via Windows Update tool

    I have my old HP laptop with preinstalled WIndows 7 32 bit. Some time ago, I decided to install Linux alongside Windows, so I deleted the partition that allows you to reinstall the operating system (don't ask my why I deleted it instead of parition HP tools).
    Now, I decided to upgrade my Windows 7 to Windows 10 but I had a lot of errors during execution of Windows Update. I installed these updates manually and I have no future updates except optionally upgrade Windows 10. Unfortunately when I try to upgrade the system via Windows Update tool, I get an error: 800705AA.
    I tried to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter, but he found nothing. I also downloaded the iso file of Windows 10 and tried to run but I get message informing me that the Windows product key cannot be verified (it's a message in my language mother tongue is not an exact translation). As I said I don't have Windows 7 disk or partition that allows me to perform the repair facility.
    Any ideas what I can do to upgrade my system?

    ·         Are what fixit you referring?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    It appears in Add/Remove programs as if it has been installed, so why is this update continuously displayed in the list of updates must be installed on the Windows Update site?

    Any suggestions or explanations would be appreciated. Eric

  • Can't get the driver for 32-bit windows 7 HP DeskJet 5440 via windows update.

    Original title: driver HP DeskJet 5440 windows 7 32 bit

    I was unable to get the driver for 32-bit windows 7 HP DeskJet 5440 via windows update.  I also was unbale to find your compatibility Center.  Is there a link were I can down-load the driver directly from.

    Tony,

    In fact, I assumed that yours was always supported by HP * but I understand now that it's not [so I guess that it is more than 10 years because it is their general support period].  {* Mine is a DJ 2540 and is only a few years so I thought a 5440 DJ must be more recent}

    I see that HP gives you general instructions on installing drivers in http://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/hp-deskjet-5440-printer-series/445466/model/445467/document/c01796879/ I checked Microsoft update catalog service and nothing found for HP Deskjet 5440, that's why you're not having any success with the generic instructions, giving you these instructions seem to presuppose the existence of a Windows driver for this specific model.  {HP must have given up your specific model before that this catalogue has been compiled, because hardware manufacturers are those that connect to their drivers inside}

    However, my suggestions may solve your problem or maybe not.  They are simply the steps that seem more likely to be successful.  Personally, I'd a system image before you try each of these suggestions so that you can go back to square one if something goes terribly wrong.

    Suggestion 1 - go to the devices & Printers dialog box, click Add a printer, select HP then select HP Deskjet 5400 series [the sequence in the list is awkward, this entry is about 10% of the way to the bottom of the list], click on Next and follow the procedure of menus at its conclusion.  Even if it's completely successful, plan to run my Suggestion 4 below as well in case of future need.

    Suggestion 2 - out whatever the driver that shipped with your printer in the first place, try to install in compatibility mode [right click on its executable, click on the tab compatibility , the value of the check box for run this program in compatibility mode for... and select a BONE the printer worked correctly with.]  Then go to the executable, right-click and select run as administrator.  This idea is not frivolous, until he blew something internally, I was using my 1999/2000 HP Deskjet 1220C successfully on Windows 7 x 64 for four years [despite the HP user forums which implies that this was not possible].

    Suggestion 3 - go back to the HP site to http://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-deskjet-5440-printer-series/445466/model/445467 but select 10 Windows as your operating system.  In the results, the Diagnostics Utility Tools point contains now a setup generic [hppiw.exe] who described "HP for Windows printer setup wizard was created to help users Windows 10 download and install the software solution most appropriate for their printer and newer HP HP Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1.   Simply run the tool and follow the on-screen instructions. " Download & run [run as Admin] of this file.

    Suggestion 4 - Connect to an Admin-level account first, then, using IE [there than IE], date back to the Microsoft update service catalog and search for HP Deskjet 5400 series.  It will give a lot of results, then click on the driver name in the left column of title to see details for each potential choice [especially if it is 32 or 64 bit].  The top of the list is [32-bit] Microsoft Update for HP Deskjet 5400 Series driver dated June 21, 2006.  [You might also download & file the second element, the 64-bit version, just in case you change computers in the future]  Add the chosen driver [s] to the "trash" then download - you will be asked to select a file to download first {it is at this stage that the process would be a break without further explanation or any error if you had not been connected to an Admin-level account before launching IE}.  I think that these drivers also work with Windows 10 thus, in the hope that your printer works for the years to come, it would be well worth your copies of maintenance of them filed there ready for your next computer use.

    Proposal 5 - go [back] to the forums of user HP Deskjets & find 5440.  See if any of the other suggestions can help you - unless you have already looked through them all the more relevant [I realize that you have been here once already as one of the threads that I just watched was of you].

    We know, in advance, which of these suggestions will lead to the best possible solution.  So please come back to this forum to explain what happened when you tried the.  Your experiences will benefit all users of HP Deskjet 5440 who come here looking for advice.

    Good luck

  • Cannot receive the Vista SP1 via Windows update

    Hmm... O always waiting for SP1 update through WU. I am at a loss of what kind of drivers that may be causing this not be available.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    I know that I've posted about this before and others have said to download the standalone version but... I was still hoping WU...

    Hi mate,

    Today the question? I mean, if the update of windows still do not offer SP1, just download it if you want to have it installed on your system.

    I really Don t understand your problem, it s quite usual that windows update offers updates/bug fixes sometimes later then service packs are released.
    So just download it and install it on your machine, West no difference between the installation of this "standalone" version or download via windows update.

    Original title: error number: 0 x 80070424

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/968002

    Error code 0 x 80070424 you describe also means "ERROR_SERVICE_DOES_NOT_EXIST".  Windows Update depends on the following two services:

    (1) Windows Update
    (2) background Intelligent Transfer (BIT)

    If it turns out that these services are disabled or missing, you will encounter this error code.  Therefore, you will need to ensure that the necessary services are available and running.  Here's how:

    1. click on Start, type services.msc in the Search text box, and then click services.msc in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

    2. double-click on Background Intelligent Transfer Service.

    3. If the starting state lists Stopped, click Start , and then click OK.

    4. double-click on Windows Update.

    5. If the starting state lists Stopped, click Start , and then click OK.

    6. double-click on my computer.

    7. If the starting state lists Stopped, click Start , and then click OK.

    8. close the Services window and try to install the updates again.

    If the Background Intelligent Transfer Service does not appear in the list of Services, click the following link to view the article on the Microsoft web site and download the update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939159/en-us.

  • Driver HP Deskjet 3745 not downloadable via Windows Update in Windows 7.

    Dear Sir / Madam,.

    I use a HP Deskjet 3745 now for several years at home. Recently I got a new laptop from my employer with Windows 7. I would like to install the driver for my printeron this laptop, so I can also print at home. Unfortunately, the update of windows is managed by my employer, if I can't download the software via Windows update.

    Is there another way to get this driver?

    With sincere friendships.

    Martin

    The driver can be downloaded from the Microsoft catalog Site, but the site is not very user-friendly.  The catalog site supports Internet Explorer, other browsers will not work.  Copy this link and paste it in IE: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=deskjet%203740

    You have an 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7?  The 32-bit driver is one that is 11.4 MB in size, the 64-bit version is 11.6 Mb in size. 13.9 MB system is for Server IA64 systems.  Once the file has been downloaded, open a DOS command prompt and change directory to the location where the file was downloaded.  Then insert your USB key (I'll assume it's the X: drive in what follows) and in the BACK of the box type the following:

    Expand * .cab-F: * x:\

    This will extract the files and develop on your X: drive.  You can then take the USB drive to your work machine and start, devices and printers, click Add a printer, have a disk and point to the INF on drive X:.
