Error code: 80072EFD Windows update on Vista Ultimate

• 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.

• update of sql server 2005 service pack 3 error code 6D9E Windows update security does not accept the update

  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:

  • Applications or processes that interfere with Internet communications
  • Problems on your computer
  • Strong Internet activity

• error code 80070005 Windows Update running

  Original title: error code 80070005.

  Last Friday, my laptop had a message saying Vista had stopped working properly and I had to install service pack 1 (even if this had been done just after buying 18 months ago), I did the install and now all THE updates have been removed from the computer and he said: he can't do windows updates the error code 80070005. can anyone help with this. Thank you

  Hey gordont,

  Error code 80070005 means generally that you're not quite allowed to install updates. Access may be denied if you have logged on to the computer as a standard user and this account does not have permission to install updates.

  To resolve the problem follow the steps that are listed in the methods below in the order listed, starting with method 1.

  Method 1:

  Log the computer as an administrator or as a user with administrative rights.

  Method 2:

  One of the most common causes of this error code (access denied) is the Anti Virus and Anti Spyware software running on the computer. You can try to disable them, and then try the updates again.

  Method 3:

  Try to reset your default security settings.

  Reference:

  How to restore the security settings the default settings?

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/313222

  Method 4:

  Reset Windows Update components.

  See:

  How to reset the Windows Update components?

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

  This should be it.

  Note: Runs the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; don't forget to activate the security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after you have identified the problem.

  Kind regards
