I tried all the solutions I've seen displayed and nothing has worked. It was working fine and then 2 weeks ago everything just stopped. I get a code error 80070641 and a code 0641... There must be something out there. The PATCH program says it fixed and it really didn't. My System mechanic says he has set and he didn't. I download a lot just impossible to install anything.
Here, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try to install 4 ' important'updates on Windows Vista and get error codes: 80070641.
Try to install 4 ' important'updates on Windows Vista and get error codes: 80070641, who has had a lot of answers posted but none does not seem to work and I tried to install this upgrade for the last 6 months! (I did one where you made sure something is running in the Control Panel, but it works just not - I HATE Vista!)
Now just got a new error code: 6 to 8.
The updates, I can't update (!) are:
- SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4
- Update of security for MSOffice 2007 System
- Update for MS 2007 Office system
- Update for MSOffice Outlook 2007 Junk email filter
Unfortunately I'm not technically proficient at all and do not understand the jargon I've read on this site so if anyone has an answer, please could you write it as if you were talking to your grandma who only discovered what a mouse! ;-)
Thanks in advance

I just came across this error when you try to run the stand-alone update of Windows for Microsoft Virtual PC on my Windows 7 Professional machine. Check the event logs, I saw the following message:
Windows Update could not be installed due to the error 2147944018 "another installation is already in progress. Complete it before you proceed with this installation. "(Command line:""C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe" "C:\Users\dorseytm\Desktop\Windows6.1-KB958559-x86.msu" ")
The file I am trying to run is Windows6. 1-KB958559-x 86.msu. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
tmdorsey76,
A few questions. This error only happens with KB958830 or with others? What language is run on the PC?If you are comfortable with the registry editor, then look to see if this key exists:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgressIf this key is there then first copy it to your desktop then delete this key.
* Change the REGISTRY settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.* *.
