  • (windows vista 64-bit) Error 80070424 Windows update

    I recently purchased Office 2010, and when I went to install it, it looks like "error" and then cancel the installation.
    After reviewing the various things on my computer, I noticed that my windows update service was not working (I don't know how long this has been the case)
    It gives me just error 80070424 everytime I try to use it.

    I tried checking services, and everything worked...

    When I checked these forums, I noticed that someone with a similar problem was invited to enter the following in the command line:

    net stop wuauserv, and then press enter
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll, then press enter
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll then press enter
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wucltux.dll, and then press enter
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wudriver.dll, and then press enter
    regsvr32 wups2.dll then press enter
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wups.dll, then press enter
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuwebv.dll, and then press enter
    net start wuauserv, and then press enter

    When I tried, the following happened:

    net stop wuauserv-success
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll - success
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll - success
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wucltux.dll - success
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wudriver.dll - unsuccessful
    regsvr32 wups2.dll - success
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wups.dll - success
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuwebv.dll - success
    net start wuauserv-success

    If this is the problem, how should I do? (If not, what else can I try?)

    (Also, if there is nothing to do with why I can't install office, please tell me)

    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.
