Try to update Windows 8 for Windows 8.1

I currently have Windows 8 (not enterprise edition) and I'm moving to 8.1.  When I go to the windows store in the metropolitan area and click to download Windows 8.1 I gives me the following message is displayed:

Update required

Before you can get Windows 8.1 store, you must install the latest updates from Windows Update.

Go to settings, click on change PC settings, press update of Windows, press search for updates now and then install updates.

So I went ahead and did this and it shows that I'm up-to-date.  I then returned to the store and tried to download 8.1 but I got the same message.  So I restarted my computer and tried again, but still no luck - same message.  I tried Run > wsreset.exe and then tried to download the file again, but still not received the same message.

Help, please

Run SFC/scannow in the command prompt high to correct any possible system file that you have.

Otherwise, you may need to refresh your install Win 8 before proceeding to Win 8.1 update.  You will need to reinstall your programs, however, do not forget to back up your data files.

  • Error code 1935, Code 643 & Code 8007000 b appears when I try to update Windows

    Hi, I hope I'm posting in the right part of the forum. I just had to restart my computer after a virus & I now get 1935 error code, Code 643 & Code 8007000 b appears when I try to update.

    There are currently something like 100 updates of odd windows trying to download right now & that none will not charge.

    The full error message for Error 1935 is - Microsoft.VC90.ATL, version = "9.0.30729.1', the public key token ="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"processorArchitecture ="x 86", type = win32" HRESULT:0x800736B3 "

    I don't know if this makes no sense.

    A small digression - when I try to update Java, the error message contains something about a connection "proxy" regarding the internet connection. I'll contact my ISP that do of course all is on their end.

    I don't have a great understanding of the side 'tech' of computers so I hope this is enough information. Thanks for any help you can give me :)

    Otherwise, you will need to consider more updates failed if no help not reset the settings of WU etc..

    1. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programs and then click Windows Update.

    2. in the left pane, click view update history.

    3. find an update for Windows that has failed to install, and then double-click the update to view more information.

    Updates that have failed to install will display failed under status, next to the name of update.

    4. in the Windows Update dialog box, next to the details of the error, review the error code for the update has failed.

    5. click on the links in the dialog box Windows Update under more information or help and Support to try to solve the problem, then try to reinstall updates by using Windows Update in Control Panel or by mail with the error code and maybe someone may be able to help others.

    Note If you see the error code '800f0826' in your history, it indicates a previous update failed to install and additional facilities prevent the updates. If the information reveals 800f0826 move on the following, until you get the update that displays a different error code of 800f0826.

    Once you have located the update that failed and caused the problem, so that must be fixed before you can install other updates.

    place. updates for my Vista and everytime I try to update, it said I have 37 updates that I've updated took place and I get error code 80070641 641 and Ican can't figure out how to fix. I ran a number of times.  Thank you

    Hello domgolf,

    Windows Update exception code 0 x 00000641 / 0 x 80070641 usually indicates a problem with the Windows Installer service.

    Sometimes it's because of a difficulty to access; Sometimes, that means he is absent or inactive (disabled) for a reason any.

    If you have used Iolo System Mechanic or any other registry cleaner for automatic crossings (auto-fix) and these exception codes, the cause is an overagressive difficulty of this app.

    First proposal is to cancel these final corrections by S M, then make sure it is not set to autorun or Auto setting.
    Do NOT continue to use System Mechanic until there is a permanent fix of Iolo.

    Contact Iolo (iolo.com) support

    and request a permanent solution.

    System Mechanic "cleaning the registry" has put a double whammy on your system in having abducted two registry keys.

    The following will set things in order for the registry {at least for service setup}, so that you can then move on to redo the update of Windows.

    These are for VISTA systems<>

    Download this file from Ramesh S http://www.winhelponline.com/fileasso/regfix_vista.zip

    Save it to your DESKTOP.

    Extract the contents to your DESKTOP.

    Click Start, type

    REGEDIT and press ENTER key

    from the main menu, select file

    then Select IMPORT

    Access the dialog box (click the icon on the DESKTOP on the left to select)

    type regfix_vista.reg in the file name text box and click on the Open button.

    Once the merger is completed, you will see a confirmation message.

    Click OK when finished.

    Then download this second registry-fix

    Download and SAVE on your system (on the desktop or in a single folder) following the registry-fix file
    http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/win-services/Vista/msiserver.reg

    Right click on the msiserver.reg file and select MERGE

    When to get confirmation message on the merge, click the OK button.

    If you are prompted by User Account Control UAC, allow to go forward.

    If and only if the Merge option is not available, and then double-click the file and allow it to merge into the registry.

    IF and file '.reg' appears in REGEDIT, when you are prompted whether to merge answer Yes.

    When finished with two registry patches, leave / close REGEDIT.

    then the costs of closing of session and restart Windows.

    Now try Windows Update again in a new race.

    Only a custom scan.

  • Error message when you try to update Windows Vista - error attest 80070641 / 641

    I guess that many people have had this problem, all of a sudden.

    When you try to do updates on May 9, 2012, there were several updates available for me (23 in total).  I have windows updated put in place to notify me when updates are available (always have it) so I can see what will be installed (and not installed) on my machine.  He 11 successfully installed the updates and 12 in vain.  I try whenever I turn on my computer to update the 12 failed and failed in each attempt.

    For the record, I tried several remedies posted on this forum nothing is done.

    Attach it to the tool = failure
    System File Check = failure
    Update system = failure analysis tool
    Windows Update Agent = failure
    Stop the service (wuauserv), empty folder to update windows (C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download) files = failure
    Tried to install the other updates separate security updates = failure
    Tried to install other updates separate updates security = failure
    Other suggestions = failure

    I just do a fresh install of Vista 32 bit (with service pack 2) on a SSD to return the 15/03/2012. I update my registry every 2 to 3 weeks.  The last program that I've updated was Adobe's Flash plugin on 04/05/2012.  Before that, it was an update to AnyDVD is 30/04/2012.  The last program that I installed was a kit of expansion for the Sims 3 on 19/04/2012.

    This problem just happened out of the blue.  Never had any problems with updates like this before until 09/05/2012.

    Here's some of my windows update log file. Looks like I only selected 4 security updates and 8 others are not selected on the left.

    See that this related thread (in particular the JanetD post which includes what told him IOlo support)-online http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_update/getting-error-codes-641-and-80070641-when-trying/6022df1d-7914-4e3e-ac5e-dbef07df433c

    Otherwise, contact the IOlo Support yourself.
