Update not installed: unknown error found code 80073717C
My computer tried to install the, "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista (KB2183461) ' without success for 2 weeks; whenever the update fails. I spent hours going through your blogs trying to solve this problem - I downloaded Microsoft Fix - it, manually entered code, added checking my firewall, etc. ; all to nothing does not. Most of the blogs I found were earlier - 2009 or more; are there more recent solutions out there for a problem of 2010?
Where to start?
If I didn't realize you had McAfee VirusScan ENTERPRISE installed, I would not have you run the McAfee removal tool as it is not a "consumer product". Sorry about that.
Given the fact that NONE of the updates (i.e. KB2183461 & specific updates to Vista, released 14) install, I would say that you aredefinitely see the effects of a hijackware infection. Yes as well as the other Options you are pursuing (e.g., open a free support incident; running a thorough for hijackware check), I'll give you a recommended option Part C now:

Cleaning a compromised system
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx
Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!
HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista
After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:
4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspx
Tip: After completing the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually before connecting any player external to the computer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029
NB: The free McAfee trial will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal (again) before installing the updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new antivirus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials).

If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

Hello
Vista has got an automatic update every day for a few days ago but every time the update starts finally fails with this error: "'Code 8E5E0147 Windows Update encountered an unknown error" "
What should I do? Vista Help did not help at all. I got the same error.
Thank you.

Go to Microsoft's download page and select the download appropriate for your operating system, then save it on your PC. Then, run the update from your PC and see if it will install manually. If you still have the error and then perform a clean boot and test again. Let us know the results.Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

Windows Update encountered an unknown error code 6b 7.
What is said for the most part. I am running Vista Home Premium x 64 on a machine rather top of range (Q9550 processor, 16 GB DDR2-800 RAM, fast hard drives 1.5 TB each, etc.) -specs factory, not overclocking, or something like that. When I try to install the updates, Windows meets an 'unknown error' (Code 6B 7). It usually happens when he tried to update .NET - and that's why I can't use Windows Live Messenger or all the other Windows Live programs, in addition to a lot of third party programs.
I am really lost and don't know what to do. I asked before and told to uninstall and reinstall all the old versions of the .NET, but also warned that the process was dangerous and could cause trouble.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. If you need more information, please ask and I will answer as best as possible.

Necessary fix for "Code 646 Windows Update engaged an unknown error"
'Important' not installing in Windows Update downloads. There is a small shield with a icon! on my sleep button, which indicates that the updates will be installed, but sometimes they will not be installed. Since they are marked important, even if they are in the programs that I never use, do I need to worry? The message reads: "Code 646 Windows Update committed an unknown error" and has a link "help with this error", but still, it does not install.
Someone out there has a fix for this?
