Get the error code 641, cannot install Windows updates.

Reluctant to do a reinstall of windows.  I had the same problem, find the same useless information on a cure.  I did a reinstall of windows (Vista) and partially by installing the updates of windows I ran into the same problem again, the windows installer does not.  Even from scratch will get not anywhere, leaving you at least your system as it stands leaves can be used instead of a partially updated with no program system.

I wonder if Apple has this kind of problem?

Hello

I suggest to reset the Windows Update components and check if it helps.

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    If the computer is already infected, no anti-virus/anti-spyware application installed or working properly.

    Original title: error number: 0 x 80070424

    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.

    If the Background Intelligent Transfer Service does not appear in the list of Services, click the following link to view the article on the Microsoft web site and download the update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939159/en-us.

    My problem is on an old computer (not this one) running Windows Vista Home Premium.  Show downloads are KB2690729, 2656353, 2656370, 2604111, 2604121, 2656368, 2656045 and 2686827.  When I tried to download individually, the first and the third update (above) showed as being downloaded correctly, yet when I checked the list of updates successfully, none of these appeared.  Since that time, the system generated downloads 8 updates have been fruitless.

    Like the other reviewers, I run IOL System Mechanic and have noted your comments about the interaction between the SM and windows.  Personally, I hesitate to attempt changes to the registry based on the stories of war, with that I've heard of people who do not have the knowledge/experience/skill to work in the more than causing registty problems they started.  I have not contacted LIO, wondering if this was done either by Microsoft with others who have similar problems.

    I hope that you have more tips to share what to do: this problem.

    Hi rob3274,

    I combined the message you did in another thread to this original to avoid confusion.

    In response to another poster asking if System Mechanic caused their code error 641, one of our MVP, PA bear MS MVPreplied with this:

    There is no doubt in my mind that System Mechanic caused this!

    And you have plenty of company, too. See these recent discussions-online

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    OPTION A: If you have backups of ALL System Mechanic has EVER done on your computer changes, restore ALL the & restart and test - and then uninstall System Mechanic & some other registry cleaners. [1]

    OPTION B: Execution of RESOLUTIONS methods 1, 2 and 3 in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2642495 then reboot & test.

    OPTION C: Contact System Mechanic (iolo.com) support, assuming you have purchased System Mechanic Professional.

    ===========================================================
    [1] TIP: If you still think again your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, healed, twisted, fixed, enlarged, "swept" or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

  • I can't download the new updates from 8 may 2012. I get the error code 641. In a separate issue I get Windows Installer errors.

    I'm running Vista window 6 service pack 2 32-bit.  None of the 8 steps for further research for this error worked.   I tried the regfix_vista.reg and the msiserver.reg proposed corrections and will continue to receive the error code 641.  I spent weeks and weeks on this and nothing works.  I want to give up.  Everyone knows the same problem?  I uninstalled the e/s from my list of software system mechanic who had been previously suggested as being the culprit for this problem...
