• 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

  Thanks in advance.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. (No, Symantec Support never say this.) See if the following solves your problems:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of the 2010 version of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8 test cycle.

  NB: Your Norton application can disable Windows Defender by default.
