Error code 80072F78 - 50% downloaded
I tried to install the latest security fixes - February 2012. Six updates downloaded and installed OK. However, three updates fail to download and update, after omitting that 50% downloaded with error code 80072F78. Are the three updates that won't install
KB2654428
KB2660465
KB2633874
No obvious reason for the failure, a disk space sufficient (6.3 GB free), historically no problems installing security patches, which are always downloaded and installed OK. No change in System. I tried to run MicrosoftFixit which said two problems and fixed them. But this has no effect. I also tried to check again the updates again who said three updates are required, but still not manage to go beyond 50% downloaded 3.4 MB
Microsoft Vista Ultimate running.
Hi Harry,.

Windows Update error Code: 80072F78. Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
No matter what I try, I always get error code 80072F78. I am connected via gigabit LAN and I have no problem, surf the web. I have my temporary disabled anti-virus and Windows Firewall program off the coast (although I tried with it too). I have a legal, legitimate copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. I tried for three days to get all updates from Windows Update, but I am unable to get updates from 15 or so. With much trial and error I finally could get many updates available (close), but I can't seem to get the rest of them. I am satisfied that I have no connectivity issues. I can't understand why Windows Update guard fails now. Does anyone have an idea what could be my problem?
He did move to Win7 or is it a brand-new (ish) computer?

2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).
3. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.
4. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 b above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot again.

Help, please!
I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit on SP2.
I just had my McAfee security expires and since I was not able to install security updates.
I uninstalled McAfee and searched my system to make sure that it is completely gone, then I installed Microsoft Security Essentials.
I was able to update its definitions of once and since I was not able to do so once again - instead, I get the error message "Virus and Spyware definitions update failed" and the code of error 0x80072efe
I have since run a full scan of the system and the following were found on my system:
-Trojan Dropper
-Trojan notifier
-Trojan Downloader
-Virus: Win32/Alureon.H
It is said that they have been removed - I'm not sure if they have something to do with my problems of system...
Also my windows update still does not go to download security updates, and it still gives me the same error code.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you very much
Also, the first update failed installed has been updated for Windows Vista (KB955430)
The last successful security update was security update for Windows Vista (KB979309)
The one who follows - update security for Windows Vista (KB978338) failed and there all security updates do not have
I just had my McAfee security expire... I installed Microsoft Security Essentials.
You should have uninstalled the McAfee application and download / run the tool to remove McAfee Consumer product and then installed Microsoft Security Essentials before as your McAfee subscription has expired.

error code 0x80073cf9 when downloading and updating applications on Windows Store
Hi all, right now I am facing a problem to download and update of the applications from the windows store after an update of my windows. I am currently using 8 64-bit windows. When I try to download apps I get the 0x80073cf error code. Many thanks if someone can help me solve this problem.
Hi Yang,
Thank you for keeping us posted on the State of the computer.
If everything has been removed from the computer and a Windows.old folder is created, then it is probably a Custom Installation or the reset which took place in the computer. But anyway, let's verify the present question in the computer.
You said that you are not able to reinstall your apps from the Store. What exactly happens when you try to reinstall your applications on the Store? You get an error code?
You can view the article at the following link once and see if information in there helps you get the resettlement app issue resolved:
