• Web page of MicroSoft Update 0x800A01AE error remains a fix (February, 2013)

  I can't get Microsoft Update to install on Vista 32-bit SP2
  I know this is an old chestnut tree here, so apologies if I missed the proper fix...
  Windows Update is perfectly up-to-date after a re Vista - burn to SP1
  (and then half of a concert to win updates).
  Unwisely, I re-installed and activated his Office pack too early.
  So decided NOT to register for Micrsoft update to the latest
  -just to limit the time of download and installation of updates
  Windows Update is now fully updated, BUT... Microsoft Update don't play ball.
  I tried the following
  1. FixIt MS Win update
     It is said to be fixed.  but don't NOT Fixit.
     This is the closest I can find to re - install the Client of WU
  2. I found comments saying the customer WU must be reinstalled
     but couldn't find any downloadable package - just the Fixit as above.
     Still others have or have had the problem (here)
  3. Looked at KB901539 (warning - it is Win XP)
     Checked Vista and found equivalent parts, just different names, but the same thing (using the properties of the DLL)
     The manual steps went well (probably part of MSFixit of duplication).
     Result - no solution
  4. Went to the MS Update Catalog site
     Installed the ActiveX control, in the hope that it is... NOPE
  5. Google a lot. It is still a common problem
  6. It could be as simple as a Boolean register...?
  Has decided that this is the best forum in the hope that an MVP kind help a mug trying to be a good Samaritan.

• Cannot get Windows Update to download updates continuous Error 0x80072EFD

  System is running Windows XP Home SP3. I tried all that in the article above and still can not get Windows to date. Microsoft Fix - it that starts automatically when you will allow you to join the article don't fix things not be and it gives me the same error code 0x80072EFD as the update of Windows. I can install updates from the Windows Update Catalog, but I can't just Windows Update to work. During execution of the controls in the article when I typed in Sfc.exe a Black Madonna window appears and disappears. There is Norton on that computer that causing Internet Explorer do not allow access to the internet and the Norton Removal Tool has been used to remove it. Immediately I could access the internet but when even could not get Windows Update to download updates. I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and still no help. I installed AVG and it finds several viruses on the computer, they were removed and still nothing with Windows Update. I even tried turning off AVG and nothing helped. Help! Frustrated.

  Ok...

  And how did you determine that the computer is no longer infected (i.e., by whatever it is)?

  What is now the computer state to Windows Update?

  Yes, Mr. Difficulté tried it 50202 and nothing worked.  I was looking forward to a solution, so I ended up doing a system restore complete with discs that I did when I had this computer.  Then I did an inplace upgrade.  Still so many problems.  After hours and hours, I finally got to meet up with a working computer.  Thanks for your help.  You know much more that I do all of this.

  Help.

  Hi Dena. Thanks for check up.

  My machine now works. Here's what happened between my last post and the MS update feature works once more.

  I answered my own question about the SubInACL is allowed file to use on my machine. Googling it I found that it is a 'security descriptor and Editing Migration command-line tool' and that it would work on my XP Home edition. So I have done no harm. But he didn't explain why the machine does not respond to a stop command.

  So, with no harm done and an available restore point, I thought that I would see what the SubInACL program since the drive light was working but no message readable in detail until it was over.

  Googling the first line (echo off) in the batch file led me to a MS page that explains the function of command to echo. If I wanted to see out all I had to do was remove the echo off line. So I used Notepad to remove the line and saved the file. Re-run the bat file then produces a flow of lines in the cmd window - moving too fast to read. I got what I asked for but don't want that I really needed.

  Google "screen xp file output. The second Google result was a link to www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation , which explains how to redirect the output of a command file into a text file. So I followed the example and added a ">" and a unique filename at the end of each line. Worked like a charm. Weres big, very big files. All order lines have reported no failure except HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet which had modified 204160 entries and lines 901 has failed. Looking at a small sample of these faulty items, that they seem to belong to my McAfee AV, so I expect them to be special.

  A reboot of the machine successfully. Still didn't update.

  I ran the MicrosoftFixit program with no error reported.

  Rebooted and found the update feature works again. Cross my fingers batch of this next month of MS updates does not return this ghost.

  Hope someone can benefit from my experiences.

  original title: update failure KB263371

  MS Security Update for Windows XP KB263371 error Code: 0 x 80070008 - continues to fail and try to update. Free of virus. No new software.

  No new anivirus (AVG, Spybot) - I ran Windows Defender, MS doesn't Fix It. So far, nothing worked.

  I see other forums, it is not unique, but so far have not seen a solution. Appers have started 12/13

  Additional - I had to do an XP repair and updating on 11/13.

  So what's the ONLY update that won't install successfully?

  @jstut only! =>

  Two possibilities:

  1. do not uninstall IE8 or IE7 before doing the repair facility has left Windows in a "confused" State or "broken".

  2. you see the effects of a long-standing infection hijackware, very probably aggravated by a rootkit W32/Alureon-Variant.

  Repost...

  Your ONLY recourse now is to format the hard disk and then perform a new installation of Windows.
