Installer of Windows Vista 32-bit - missing computer Installer

Hi I read several posts over the past days to fix my inability to succeed with a number of important updates. I have Vista 32 bit Pack 2. I can't locate a msi file in my computer. I tried the suggestion of Halima S (Microsoft) on the execution of msiexec\regserver. The answer was that I don't have an installer. It seems to me have been deleted somehow! Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thank you

    original title; Problem installation of update KB2556532 on Windows Vista 32 bit

    I had problems for the last two months trying to install the update to windows KB2556532. I have Windows Vista 32 bit.

    I had a virus that has been cleaned of my laptop. It was windows recovery of fraud, and I don't know if this could have caused the problem at first, but after you have cleaned the virus always impossible to install this update.

    She always says that it has installed ok, but then when the computer has restarted, it is located in 'Configuring Updates step 3 of 3..' he said then that the update was not installed correctly and is back from changes.  Once the computer has booted I am prompted to install the update again.  It continues in this loop.

    Can anyone help me please with this.  I can't online solutions for this problem, I looked for a few weeks to try and fix myself.

    Unfortunately if this utility installs not it is not that there is something corrupt or prevent Windows to install correctly.

    You cannot use recovery discs to install with, if not for the exact model computer that you install.  You need a full installation detail of the model of Vista operating system you want to install since you don't downgrade your operating system to a system that offers no right of demotion.

    ·        Have you Configure RAID on the system?

    If you have not configured then RAID on the system, I suggest you to disable the RAID/eSATA (SATA improved) in the BIOS. Once you turn off the RAID/eSATA on the system that your basic hard disk should be recognized by the system because it doesn't require any drivers, it will act as an IDE. Once you have disabled the RAID/eSATA then booting into the recovery environment and build the Bootrec and check if the problem is resolved. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below to rebuild the bootrec.

    Rebuild the BCD store by using the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. get the Vista installation DVD and pop in your drive.

    b. then restart your computer.

    c. press a key when you are prompted.

    d. Select a language, a time, a currency, and a keyboard or another input method, and then hitNext

    e. click on repair your computer

    f. click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next

    g. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt

    h. type bootrec /rebuildbcd and then press the Enter"" key.

    ·        If Bootrec runs successfully, it will present you with the installation of a Windows directory path. To add the entry in the BCD store, type Yes. A confirmation message appears that indicates the entry has been added successfully.

    ·        If Bootrec cannot findany lack of facilities of Windows, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order shown below: (remember to press ENTER after each command)
    bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup
    Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old
    Bootrec /rebuildbcd

    i. restart the computer.

    For more information, see the article mentioned below.

    Hi tomgold,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    This can also occur if an incorrect device driver has been installed for the DVD-ROM device.

    I suggest that you visit the DVD drive manufacturer site download the latest drivers for the drive and install on the computer and if it works. Make sure you download the Windows vista 64-bit driver.

  • get the 0x400110020000100b error code while making the recovery of the system for windows vista 32 bit.

    I tried to do a system restore on my laptop using the included recovery disks and had this error 0x400110020000100B. The drive looked pretty beaten last week so I ordered a new series. Now, when I got to put disc 2 in (to 80% full) I get the same error.  I called customer service and he took me through the process of F9, nothing works and I also tried the F11 approach that made me not the case.  I'm frustrated because I don't really have the money for a new laptop computer.

    Laptop is a HP Pavilion DV6700.

    Any help would appreciated more than you know.

    The system is Windows Vista 32 bit

    The guy on the phone said ' well, you know it's a pretty old computer... Thank you gee...

    Hello:

    See if you can make your own Vista installation disc if you can read the product key 25 character on the bottom of your laptop.

    Here's how:

    If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

    You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

    The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then other codes already filled in.

    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

    I selected no, make the ISO file.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them one my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, worked flawlessly.

    When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-v...

    After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

  • Where can I download a. ISO image of Windows Vista 32-bit (full edition)?

    Hi all

    I have a real installation of Windows Vista 32 bit Ultimate edition.

    I would like to install my copy of Windows in a virtual machine, but this usually requires a new PRODUCT KEY get updates etc.

    In an attempt to solve a problem in the host machine, I want to do it on a temporary basis with a "clean to a virtual machine installation.

    I know how to recover my product key, even though I have lost my disk of Vista that I bought.

    Download an .iso image of Vista 32 bit Ultimate from Digital River or at all Please?

    Failing the above all I can do is try to hunt for my original disk and reinstall and lose all my programs installed.
    The other option is to back UP everything on a temporary basis, try what I try
    and then recover all if my experience isn't a success.

    Original title: Microsoft Virtual PC question regarding the installation of Vista.

    Hello

    There is no available from Microsoft Vista ISO file download.

    You can borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • WINDOWS VISTA 32-BIT UPDATES

    CAN SOMEONE HELP ME GET UPDATES FOR WINDOWS VISTA 32 BIT?   I AM NOT GETTING THE ERROR CODES, JUST CONTINUES ON THE LEFT SEARCH BAR RIGHT AND DOES NOTHING. NOTHING IS FOUND TO DOWNLOAD. I'VE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM.

    Hi BluesBlaster:

    If your initial "check for updates..." Windows Update crashes during long periods without raising an error, this is a widespread problem currently affecting many users of Vista SP2.

    Some users find that "check for updates..." will be finally run full if you let run for several hours, but there is also a workaround solution posted on the page Web of Dalai to http://wu.krelay.de/en/ that accelerates the Windows Update for the affected users. Of workaround requires users to pre-install the kernel-mode Windows updates (Win32K.sys) driver listed on this Web page, if one is missing from your system before running Windows Update.  I used Dalai for the latest Patch workaround three Tuesdays (the second Tuesday of each month) and has reduced my search for 'check for updates...' updates available for 6 or 7 hours up to approx. 25 min.

    Step-by-step instructions posted on 16 June 2016 wire m #l's updates does not, it was the search for updates to the hours are based on workaround of Dalai and will guide you through the installation process of packages update stand-alone (.msu files) for your updates Win32K.sys missing.

    As of today (11-Sep-2016) the current list of updates Win32K.sys on the page Web of Dalai is: KB3078601 (rel. 18 August 2015); KB3109094 (rel. 7 December 2015); KB3145739 (rel. 12 April 2016); KB3164033 (rel. June 14, 2016); KB3168965 (rel. July 12, 2016); KB3177725 (rel. 9 August 2016). Just install the updates that are not in your system, so if you have been fully patched at the end of July 2016 you must have to install manually the last KB3177725 (MS16-098: a security update for the Windows Kernel-Mode drivers: 9 August 2016) before you run Windows Update to install your remaining August 2016 Patch Tuesday updates.  List of Dalai will probably be revised tonight next Tuesday when the September 2016 Patch Tuesday updates (and a new version of Win32K.sys) are released on 13-Sep-2016, then you might want to wait a few days to try this workaround.

    Dalai has posted general information at http://wu.krelay.de/en/info.htm which explains why the Windows Update Agent (WUA) is currently suspended during the "checking for updates..." Windows Update.  The current v7.6.7600.256 Vista, C:\Windows\system32\wuaueng.dll WUA has not been updated by Microsoft since June 2012.
