Error code 57 on Windows Vista update

I used update of Windows Vista to install "needed updates", but he stopped with a big stop sign RED with an 'X' in it and said:

ERROR
SOME UPDATES HAVE NOT BEEN INSTALLED.
FAILED: 1 UPDATE
CODE 57: WINDOWS HAS ENCOUNTERED AN UNKNOWN ERROR

It's typical and tedious to Microsoft.  I am flooded with requests to update my computer to IE8, but when I try to download and run IE8 (with or without the special pack MSN) I got error message saying:

INTERNET EXPLORER 8 CANNOT BE INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER
IT YOU ARE MISSING SOME UPDATES. PLEASE UPDATE AND TRY AGAIN

And of course I can't update so I can't IE8 - DAMN these situations of Catch 22 that Microsoft continually puts me in.  I think they must have scientists working on the theory of how long it takes someone to become completely crazy frustration so that they could make a statistical presentation of the scientific community as a breakthrough on stress or something LOL.

What I need is someone to tell me what him Hey to do this so that I can get out of this endless loop, download the update reprisé (I think that it is Service Pack 1 - real service... not!) and be able to get FINALLY IE8 on my computer.

You would think after having spent HUNDREDS OF dollars on a new and improved Windows OS it could be at least a semblance of quality but you know what, Microsoft does not even allow one free phone call - well I wouldn't stand behind this kind of work if I created such a poor quality product that every 2 seconds should be updated and then for some reason he can't.

But * sigh * we are all indebted to Goliath and I am not David so I can't kill the giant, I'll have to try to work with em and see if I get a help at all.

Oh, LORD, I pray that I get help within 48 hours of sending this (08/01/2010).

Hi BobVictory,

The only way was to take the advice of others here, and then we had to also remove all the data, we wanted to record on a secure hard drive, write and find all programs, reformat the whole, perform all updates of Windows, reseating all programs (MS Office, 3DO, Adobe, etc...) and recover data from the hard drive secure.

I still run Windows Vista Ultimate Pro and not passed to Windows 7, but I just saw that Windows 8 is out, so what's the point? I'll probably wait for Windows 9 or 10 before the upgrade, because they seem to change every year and now my Vista running great, until I update each. Hope you find the same resolution for your computer.

:-)

    OK... I had the same problem with the download of the 2007 Microsoft security updates. When I tried to install updates, I receive error 646. I finally solved my problem by going to the Download Center on Microsoft and I install manually.

    Here are the steps that I took... which I think should work:

    (1) go to the Microsoft Download Center: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
    (2) look for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB974234)
    3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run. I think you have to accept an agreement, then click on continue or OK
    4) repeat for all downloads that you can not install
    (5) run Microsoft Update new and click search the updates and if updates have been installed successfully, they should no longer appear in the updates that must be installed.

    I don't know if it is not relevant or if it helped me succeed to install updates manually, but before I manually installed my updates I followed the instructions David_O posted here http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/f3390e74-9961-4aae-8a05-554c1a9cf1a2 . I suggest that first of all try to download manually by following my directions. If it does not, then it's a possibility instructions of David resolved an issue that allowed me to download them manually disable Microsoft downloads site.

    I can't believe all the research and the suggestions of the technicians did not work... sometimes your own research is the best!

    I hope this helps! Good luck!

  • Error code 80070002 in Windows 7 updates

    K I install the Win 7 updates optional - ex language packs, but they all fail and come up with the "error Code 80070002.

    I deleted temporary files in "Windows - C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution - downloads & DataStore, some files in the data store could not be removed (DataStore.edb & record logs).»

    What can I do to solve this problem, because it leads me into the wall!

    Specifically , that "temporary files in Windows - Software Distribution" are you referring to?

    80070002 ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
    The system cannot find the specified file.

    Since we do not know what has been removed from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, suggest first reset you update components by running the Fixit here: How to reset the Windows Update components?
    The cleaner method is to download and save the Fixit.
    Then Configure the system for a clean boot .

    Make sure that the native Windows 7 firewall is enabled because the system must be connected to the internet when the Fixit is run.
    Once the system has been started in the pure State, run the saved Fixit, MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose aggressive mode. The Fixit will clean the subfolder of Software Distribution, among other operations.
    And the latest version of Windows Update is also installed.
    When the Fixit is complete, restart the system , if you are invited to or not.

    See if the system is able to update now. IF it is possible, then cancel the clean boot procedure and see if it can still be updated.

    If the same error occurs, download, Save , and then run
    Update system (or CheckSUR) analysis tool while remaining in the clean boot state.
