SP1 crashes with c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll

Op - sys Vista Home pre.
After D-load of SP1 (MS web site... updated wasn't) started the installation. Took the time to run EXTREME. I haven't watched the process, but noted that, in a reboot, the computer (laptop HP, AMD tru. 64, 2 GB ram 160 GB HDD - 85 GB free) seemed to be hung while activating or ongoing enforcement of the estarted and watched all the intermittent processes... until... ALL collapsed when the c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll file has been reached. the screen showed this:

!! 0xC 0000022! 810/67181 (c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll)

Whenever during the same interruption of startup. Then I thought that I could boot into safe mode, a copy of the file from another computer (laptop) just rename the old file (or which may have been part of the update), then copy in the same directory, reboot and everything would be good in the lands of the greyknight.  But..................................

I couldn't get to win on the desktop. Solution Explorer. Then I rebooted and used F8 to get a menu and choose Mode without failure. Given that I had a copy of the file on a USB stick (1 GB) c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll I have pluged in there during post and watched the process. This time I got a message the waqs there is no system disk insert and press a key. So I have... .pressed the any key.

Interesting the SP1 update resumes at step 3 of 3. I have not watched the process of steps 1 and 2 (it was like watching paint dry). When you have finished part 3 I was taken in the section connection and do zip! There was the office. I did what I should have done before and copied all the files which means nothing to me and the rest of the world on my 250 GB USB key and again my 500 GB ext.

Now as I mentioned above, I tried to simply rename the old file, then copy the other file in the same directory, restart and all would be well in the land of the greyknight.  But..................................

Alas, it was not, the file on the computer (orig. wuaueng) was protected I don't have permission to anything but smile and look at him.

What has caused this problem is the file for bad update process? How can I get good copy?
I'm now going to try to restart my laptop hang on and I'll let you know what happens...

As to manually replace the .dll file, you can find info here:

Some Windows Vista functions may not work, or Windows Vista may stop responding

How'ever, the problem you are experiencing may be related to a bad update to SP1. That would happen if you had other programs / services running that could have interfered with the update process (example is Antivirus software), or your system has been damaged before installing SP1.

I answered your second post regarding a restore disc, order one of your manufacturer and a new facility will be the best option for you.

  • duplicates wuauclt.exe & c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll (need both?)

    Hello
    I am running xp pro sp3 with MSE (v. 1.77.1038.0). I had CATrust AV until a few weeks ago. I'm on a domain network. We have not required WU to run all the time.

    I have issues with wuauclt.exe slow down my computer. All of a sudden, I hear the beginning of the computer running through the process and everything slows down. (5 minutes to open an email of 5 KB)

    I * think * my problem is that there are 2 versions of wuauclt.exe & c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll on my computer. They appear as wuauclt.exe and wuauclt1.exe.  wuauclt1.exe and c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll files are version 5.8.0.2469.

    Running the MSE analysis does not turn to the top of any spyware. I tried just to remove the old version, but they appear immediately as if the registry grows this version instead.

    After reviewing the record, I see that everything related to Microsoft.Update.AutoUpdate has two entrances:
    That is to say
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.update.AutoUpdate
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.update.AutoUpdate.1

    Could this be the thing slow down my machine? If this is not the case, what would it be? If so how can I get rid of the duplicates offending (and shocking!)?
    Thank you
    Ian

    I can assure you that Windows uses only the wuauclt.exe file now and it is quite normal to find a copy of wuauclt1.exe in %windows%\System32 <=this> .

    It is quite normal to find wuauclt.exe in the Task Manager. Processes tab shortly after starting your computer and so he can be executed for 10 to 20 minutes later (especially if Microsoft Update [1] is your source of default update).

    That being said, the current automatic updates of running in the background has not such a detrimental effect on performance (e.g., 5 minutes to open an email 5 KB) when it is executed, unless the computer is low on resources (low power).

    See if the boot minimum technical troubleshooting help you nail that other background process could contribute to the slowdown.

  • c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll - update error 646

    I continue to wear on one of my two machines updates failed code 646 for the Office updates. I have questions about c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll versions (and other related files apparently). I have Windows Update set to check and let me decide. I have maintained security using workaround to manually
    Download.

    On my desk for c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll, the version is 7.3.7600.16385. This machine is a Dell Inspiron (put into operation in July 2009) with Windows 7 HP 32 (update Vista HP 32 recently), Intel and Office Professional 2003. Properties show that the file has been
    created, modified and accessed July 17, 2009. This machine has never had any failure of an update.

    On the laptop (Compaq V6508AU) HP version c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll is 7.4.7600.226 - Vista HP 32 (put into operation in September 2007), AMD and Office Professional 2003.  Created and consulted on October 4, 2009, amended August 7, 2009. This machine
    a constant codes 646 failure for the Office updates in October, November and December, i.e. after creation and consulted on date.

    Is the version on the laptop of the cause of the update error 646? Why the desktop version are previous to the laptop?

    I'm just guessing that this problem could be linked to the MSOcache or a related Office registry error only.

    Maybe the uninstallation and reinstallation of Office isn't enough (sometimes it was not in the past).

    You mention WSUS that is not Windows Update Agent. WSUS is completely different from system update.

    Maybe to a certain stage why some have the problem with 646 with office and others are not clearly will some time in the future. At the moment we have only the work around, which is annoying but works.

  • c:\windows\system32\vsinit.dll question prevents the activation of XP

    A malware attack left a mess on my machine and anit-virus tools cleaned most, but many services were lost. Advice on the web says to reload XP.  I did, but the activation step failed due to a problem with the license with c:\windows\system32\vsinit.dll.  The DLL is in place and apparently comes to ZoneAlarm, but most likely has been charged as part of another package (perhaps by malware?).  There are two registry entries that refer to c:\windows\system32\vsinit.dll.  My question is, can I change the registry references to c:\windows\system32\vsinit.dll and thus enable the XP activation process to proceed?

    The instance that is more suspect is

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-1-5-18\Components\913979572FD8B4D4989DEDA591E6AB3D

    If not, is there another solution to this problem, which is more suitable?

    Hi jimTheFlutist,

    Method 1

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • c:\windows\system32\storprop.dll error with USB

    I had a problem with my USB flash drive (memory stick) that I bought recently.  I used a Sandisk U3 Titanium 2 GB flash drive with U3 technology.  I bought a Sandisk Cruzer 16 GB drive in addition to the another flash drive.  Now when I plug the new "Cruzer" it displays the following error message

    DEVICE SETUP ERROR
    Windows could not load the installer for hard drive.  Contact your hardware vendor.

    After clicking OK, the box NEW HARDWARE FOUND is displayed and when you select this option to locate and install the driver (recommended) it immediately returns the following:

    newdev.exe - incorrect Image
    C:\Windows\system32\StorProp.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.  Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.

    From there, you select OK and he repeats the MISTAKE of the DEVICE INSTALLER and then displays the NEW HARDWARE DETECTED again.  This time, it says to insert the disc that came with the device.  When you select that you do not have the disk, it asks if you want to find a solution.  Then he said: it could not install your SanDisk Cruzer USB device.

    At first I thought it was a problem with the "Cruzer" so I called SanDisk and crossed their tech support and finally, he recommended that I have to contact Microsoft as it was not a problem with their device.  This seems to think as my U3 device still works fine.

    Today, I went to plug my new external hard drive Seagate through my USB port and has received the exact same guests and error messages.

    I noticed also about a month when I inserted my SD card in my SD card reader, which is built into the laptop, I got an error message.  I went back today and he reinserted and received the same error messages that I described above.  I'm guessing that all of these mistakes probably revolve around the c:\windows\system32\storprop.dll file but I don't know what to do about this.  I tried looking online to find an answer, but could not find anyone else with similar information.

    In addition, once all the error messages are recognized, then the devices can be used, however for the SanDisk Cruzer, it you cannot use the software of the U3 technology.

    Anyone who can provide any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated!

    A large number of users of Microsoft Flight Simulator in Windows 7 seems to be having the same problem, which crashes to desktop. In the thread following the removal of c:\windows\system32\uiautomationcore.dll has been proposed as the "solution" to this problem: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproappcompat/thread/fb1808ff-92f0-478b-9826-f2ed6fbeae97

    Assuming that it is indeed the case, is it possible with impunity? (or at least with acceptable suffer, keep in mind that a lot of people have invested a lot of time and efford - and money - in Flight Simulator).

    You can rename it, and if you have any problems, then name again.

    No, the c:\windows\system32\uiautomationcore.dll is part of Windows and should not be deleted or modified.

    I appreciate it. However its seems that various people (many?) removed, and their system keeps going (and still works for Microsoft Flight Simulator), so this is appararently not essential. The consequence of not removing no seems to be not being able to use an application that you may have bought the computer to use in the first place. I hope that a response with a nuance more is possible.
