How to find out the Windows Update Agent version I am running

Anyone know how I can find out which version of the Windows Update Agent I use?  I checked everything and no menu where only allows me to check the version.  This link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104 tell me how to get the latest version, but it is not to tell me how do I know if I am running on the latest version.
 
And what makes it reset my of update windows components?  I read this link (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058#appliesto) and understand how to reset components, but I'm not clear on how this will affect my windows update.

I have Windows Vista Home, SP2.

Thank you very much!

Ohanna Hello,

Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forums.

Determine the current Version of WUA:

Determine the version of Windows Update Agent (WUA) before using it. The current version of WUA is determined by the version of the c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll that runs in the current installation of Windows \System32 directory. If the c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll is version 5.4.3790.1000 or a later version, WUA is installed. A version earlier than 5.4.3790.1000 indicates that the Software Update Services (SUS) 1.0 is installed.

When a call is made for SUS 1.0 using the API INTERFACE, an HRESULT of WU_E_AU_LEGACYSERVER is returned.

You can also use the IWindowsUpdateAgentInfo::GetInfo method to retrieve the latest version of file of the c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll that runs on a computer. The IWindowsUpdateAgentInfo interface is not supported in WUA 1.0.

For more information, see update the Windows Update Agent.

Thank you.

UDAY $012 please let me know that whether the solution worked or not, I thank you and appreciate your comments.

  • I can't get updates since SP2 installation and update of the Windows Update Agent.

    I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I have done 3 installs clean for several days and each time I install SP2 and update the Windows Update Agent I can't get updates.  When I click search for updates, it just keeps looking for hours and hours and never stops looking.  I tried several solutions on the internet, including those found here.  Of course, the first thing I did was run the Fixit of Windows Update tool.  He could not solve any problems found.  He gave the error code 0 x 80070005.  I installed the SubInAcl.exe and run several different command text and a text of the batch.  The batch text did nothing.  The texts of order had errors of syntax and a file, he could not access.  I ran the System File Checker, and it finds errors, it could not fix.  I just did a clean install on this machine 6 or 8 months ago because I was going to get rid of the computer, so when I put in place I used the username user.  I came across no problem at all when I installed the operating system and update everything.  Since then, I decided to keep the computer, so I wanted to have it in my name.  As I said, this is my 3rd try.  I am willing to give.  Maybe someone here can help.

    I tried two clean installs and I get the same thing.  Once I have installed SP2 and the new Agent update, I can't get more updates.  It keeps only the search for hours without results or error messages.  I tried all of the suggestions I found on the internet, but nothing works.  I get always the same error code 0x80070005, when I run the Fixit of Windows Update tool.  There must be a way to solve this problem.  Why I was able to do a clean install of 6 or 8 months without any problems, but now I can't.  It makes no sense at all.  I really hope someone who knows the answer reads this.

    Ralph C.

    I finally got it!  I tried two other proposed solutions, then I ran the System File Checker, which is no problem, then I ran Check Disk.  Check disk found and repaired files in the file system of BITS among others.  After that, I'm now completely up to date with Windows Update.  I was ready to give up.  I'm glad I did not.  For anyone else having similar problems, don't give up, the answer is there.

  • New error causing the Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 80246002 during the search for updates

    I use Windows 7 64-bit with Service Pack 1. Windows Update worked fine until the Windows Update Agent is automatically updated to 7.6.7600.320 in August 2014. Now, when Windows Update tries to search for updates, it reports "Windows could not search for updates" and indicates that the 80246002 error code was received.

    [UPDATE]  Since posting this query, I think I solved my problem by following the instructions described on the page "Update tool of the system for Windows 7 for x 64-based Systems (KB947821) [may 2014]."   I downloaded the file (Windows6 1 - KB947821 - v33 - x 64.msu) and then let it settle. He describes himself as "Fix for Windows (KB947821)".  The installation took awhile, with a lot of disk activity.  When he finally finished, I rebooted my machine and tried an update of Windows. It seems to work fine; He even found a significant update that I then installed successfully.  So apparently my problem the hotfix for Windows (KB947821) provided the solution.

    [UPDATE 2]  After seeing the messages on the change the DNS to resolve the problem, I thought I would add the following information where it is necessary:

    • I use the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer 11 and confirmed it works in 64-bit mode by inspecting the user agent of the browser.  You can check the user agent of your browser by visiting http://user-agent.me/
    • My Internet Protocol properties are set to 'Obtain DNS server address automatically'.  It works with my wireless router, and I've never tried to change it.

    [UPDATE 3]  After thinking I was safe, after doing several searches for updates, the returned 80246002 problem on my machine!  I rebooted my machine and my wireless router, but it did not help.  So, I advanced and tried the DNS thing: I changed the favorite 8.8.8.8 DNS server and another server DNS 8.8.4.4 and then rebooted.  Search on Windows Update is now successfully!  I am humbled and grateful!

    In my case, I got the window update 80246002 error code after I uninstalled KB2982791 according to the https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS14-045 and then tried the updates.  I have nothing clears the error (ipconfig/flushdns, rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, a few MS Fix, etc...).  KB2993651 being the replacement update I was trying to download and install, I decided to manually download the update from the windows update (http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=KB2993651) catalog.  After you downloaded and installed KB2993651, I rebooted the PC and then I was able to check Windows updates again without entering the 80246002 error code.

    Given that 13 of November were not able to update Windows. Updated Windows Update Agent 7.4.7600.226 failed and statement "Windows cannot check updates' appearred. Error code 80070643 received. I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

    I used the fix tool, but not in the aggressive mode. I have not tried a reset because many of the reset of values seem to be for 32-bit machines.

    Another version of Norton 360 (i.e., N360 2008) has already been installed on the computer?

    A Norton or McAfee free trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it?

    If updates are still not download after running it, then run it again and choose it's aggressive mode.

    Then reboot and see if the download updates now.

    I had to restore my kids PC. Windows Update gives me a message that it is not running and I need to restart the PC. I've done several times, and Windows update still does not work. I passed through TaskManager, Services and found Windows Update and tried rebooting from here. It still does not. How can I get the update of Windows running service?

    Hello

    (a) the first thing to do is to stop the Windows Update service on your Windows 7 computer. You can do this by going to start and typing in services.msc in the search box.

    (b) then press enter and the Windows Services dialog box appears. Now scroll down until you see the Windows Update service, right-click on it and choose stop.

    (c) now that the Windows Update service has been disabled, you must go to the following folder and delete all files and folders inside:

    C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\

    (d) once you have deleted everything, go back to the Services dialog box, right-click on the Windows Update service and click Start.

  • The Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 is suspended

    I'll have to re - install (to be clear, this must be a clean install!) Win 7 because I upgraded my processor (DUUH!). Then, of course, there are 6 years of updates to apply (DUBBLE DUUH!). In any case, after the first 25 or so (including SP1), the computer restarts and the next time I run the update of victory, it updates the agent update to 7.6.7600.320, closed, opens again and therefore, it crashes every time that the search for updates. I tried everything on line fix - it tools (2 or 3 they say they found things and that fixed it, but not true.) Their execution several times in a row gives the same merry messages - but ill -!) and even downloaded and installed Agent.256 manually, but once installe.320, something on the PC side of things is broken. Even the autonomous utils as "X 86 - all - Windows6. "1 kb2993651 - x86_a3d4402e414cd9ee28244c8ffbed52bf8d10f40d.msu" crashes (looking for updates on my PC) the same way. I tried the DNS fix, but the problem is local. Update impossible to find something he's looking for on my hard drive or RAM is missing a few "helper". Help! Thank you!

    I had the same problem two nights ago, with agent.256 on Vista. I tried everything and nothing worked, I even restarted Vista from scratch, but the same problem was there, once the agent has been installed. All I can advise is to check for updates, it will finally find a set of updates for you. I found a post saying to leave so I did it and for me, it took more than 4 hours to find the updates for me, but once this set of updates have been installed it only took 5 minutes to an hour for updates to appear. It must be something to do with new agents and how they are in communication with Microsoft for the first time. They should really look into it well.

    Be patient and good luck!

  • How to find out the max mem can be allocatedTT for 32 bit Win?

    How to find the maximum size of permanent and temporary data data size that can be allocated for the Oracle times ten for Windows 32 bit OS.

    The maximum size that can be achieved depends on three main factors:

    1 system (memory, swap file) configuration.

    2. connectivity method (direct mode compared to the server). Direct mode is more limited than client/server (but is much faster).

    3. for a DBMS direct mode, the number and type of dll that the application uses. Console mode apps can generally for example to reach a size of datatstore much larger than .NET applications.

    The maximumn size will usually be of the order of 600 MB to 1 500 MB. The only way to determine a specific value is to try it. With your application, start with a store of 1000 MB and data increase decrease until you find the breakpoint.

    In fact, 32-bit Windows is not a good platform for hosting of any significant size data warehouses. 64-bit Windows is much better (and it works almost all the 32-bit applications without any problem).
