I tried to install the updates, but I get the error code 641

I tried to install updates that have been downloaded.

Try to install the result in the error code 641

Original title: what is the error code 641

The other post:

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.

Thanks for your help.

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.

Since the thread here.

I hope this helps!
