Error code 80242016 on updates-

Running Vista SP1 on a Dell Studio 64 bit.  Whenever I try to install updates for Windows, I encountered problems.
I tried the solution that I found in the forums (running Mr Fixit, then run system update tool) - if I run these, next updates seem to work currently running.  When I try to make the next round of updates, I met the same problem - which is the error code 80242016.  There is enough free space on the disk, does not cancel, etc.
I tried to install SP2 2 months ago and have not as well.

Should I run these specialized programs before I run updates?  That's happened since I bought the machine in February... too late to go back, but my patience is exhausted.

Main issue - it would be logical for me to upgrade to Windows 7 at this point?

Thanks for any help you can give me - I don't have much hair left to pull out!

OMG... I disabled the option "Prevent unauthorized changes" as a result of Trend Micro, tried new updates and they were all successful.

THANK YOU very much for your comments - he made me watch the Security Suite and find the option that I was the cause of the problem.  I've dealt with this for months and this seems to be the answer to this problem.

  • Need help resolution Windows 7 update error code 80242016 for update KB3185330 * IMPORTANT UPDATE

    I installed 5 updates to windows that have been brought to my attention.  4 5 updates were installed successfully.  But 1 updates that is marked "Important" CANNOT install.  The update is "KB3185330", it says it's an update to "October 2016 cumulative monthly security for Windows 7 x 64 based systems quality".  Can someone please help me to rectify this & this update installed successfully.  I never had problems before installing an update 'important '.  I am very concerned because I'm not a person tech savy, but I guess that if the update said '' significant '' than he SHOULD CERTAINLY be installed.  I kept all of my updates of Windows 7 since I got my computer.  I did NOT any changes to my computer before trying to update & as I said before, 4 other updates have been "successful".  I would appreciate the help of anyone who is well informed about it and can give me EASY instructions on what went wrong AND how to fix it.  Thank you in advance.

  • KB2952664 fails in windows update, error code 80242016

    October 14, 2014 Windows updates had 15 recommended Important updates including KB2952664.  WU appeared to run correctly, but when you restart found 14 updates installed successfully and KB2952664 failed with the error code 80242016 (usually means that another installation is run - WU was the only application running).  I have reviewed historical WU and noted that this same KB has been updated 15/08/2014.  Reopened WU and returned played Check for Updates with nothing.  Because it was already installed, should I reinstall the KB, since it is not or there is nothing to worry?  Thanks for the help.

    Problem solved: 15/10/2014.

    Line at the bottom is that a previous version of this KB is probably already installed on your machine Win7 and if you want to update to the new version, you have to let fail, then uninstall, reboot, run WU check updates and reinstall the KB.  The alternative is to uninstall the last version - it only one - and remove the maintenance package KB.  This KB update facilitates the process of upgrading to later versions of Windows, and there will probably be additional versions in the future.

    I hope this helps and a big thank you to all those responding on two poles.

    I had the same problem installing updates on a Windows 7 Home Premium platform. All other updates have shown that it is installed successfully, with the exception of KB2952664. Another post on this subject, a fix was given to which I did successfully.

    Panel\Programs control & Features\View updates installed (selection of left column), right click on KB2952664, select uninstall, close Control Panel. Return to Windows Update and look for the updates. KB2952664 is displayed, run the update in my case, it is then installed successfully.

  • 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:

    Hi Sarma_RN,

    1. When you receive the error message?

    2. update you are trying to install?

    3. When was the last time you were able to install updates?

    If Windows Update, error 80072ee2 during updates, the Windows Update servers may experience an unusually high number of requests for updates. Close Windows Update, wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then run Windows Update again. Alternatively, you can wait for automatic update of Windows run at its next scheduled time.

    These errors can occur caused by one of the following problems:

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

    You have Microsoft Works 8 installed and you use it?  If this isn't a program you are using or you thought it had been uninstalled and then run The Windows Installer Cleanup utility and see if you are able to completely remove the work.  This would then cause the update will not be presented.   Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers
