Vista SP2 Installation fails (error 800706BE Code) via Windows Update

I am running Windows Vista Business (32-bit) SP1 and I noticed that Vista SP2 is available for download by manually checking in Windows Update last night.  After having seen that it is a large download (more), I started the download, left my PC and left the House.  When I got home, my screensaver was away and when I attamped my password to disable the screen saver and see where I was in the process of updating, my password did not work.  Then I did a hard reboot but then could not connect under my admin user account.  I've then logged in as my wife (standard user - no password) and went to Windows Update where I noticed that the SP2 for Vista Installation fails (error 800706BE Code).  I spent most of last night and all today so far tried to solve this problem.  There are several problems here... When I click on "Install" in Windows Update, I get a message of "is not necessary: 1 update" (even when I look in the installed updates it says that the update failed).  If it is not necessary, then why is it listed as an important update that must be installed?  Endless loop... In addition, I'm not a password reset for my connection because I have a password saved on a flash drive.  Then I tried using all the older passwords that I remembered and none worked.  Shift caps lock was not on either.  I've logged in as my wife, went to the Microsoft Download page and eventually find the link to download the standalone version of SP2 Vsita, but after downloading the massive file, I didn't have the right to install it because I can not connect as an adminstator!

(sigh) Can someone please help with this?  Thank you

Naveen,

Thank you very much for your suggestions!  Your suggestion of restarting, press F8 and choose "repair your computer" worked.  I was able to do a system restore and I chose a date where my old password was still in use (I had just been invited to change a few days before I tried to download Vista SP2).  In addition to losing my cookies and automatically complete IE8 - everything is back to normal.  I have not yet tried a 2nd try to SP2, and I'm very hesitant to do it now!

Thank you once again!

    Hello RowdyMrB,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
    I suggest you to run a scan of the System File Checker to see if there is corruption in your system from the wrong key of RAM,

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Please post back with the last 50 lines of the output JOURNAL.

    Hello Sam980,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

    You can try to access the command prompt in the Windows Recovery console and see if can remove Service Pack 2 manually from your computer. Here are the steps to remove Service Pack 2:

    Open an elevated command prompt window.

    Run the following command, depending on the version of the Windows Vista service that you want to uninstall:

    For Windows Vista Service Pack 1:

    C:\temp\Windows6.0-kb936330-x86.exe x:C:\temp

    Note This command assumes that the file Windows6. 0 - KB936330.exe folder is in the C:\Temp folder

    For Windows Vista Service Pack 2:

    C:\temp\Windows6.0-KB948465-nnn.exe x:C:\temp

    In this command, NNN is x 86, x 64, or IA-64. The collapse of this tableauAgrandir this tableNote that this command assumes that the file Windows6. 0-KB948465 - X 86 .exe is located in the C:\Temp folder.

    We must create a sandbox environment before you can proceed to step 4. This allows you to manage safely an untrusted program. To create a sandbox, sandbox type md.

    To remove the Windows Vista service pack, type or copy and paste the following command, depending on the version of the Windows Vista service that you want to uninstall:

    For Windows Vista Service Pack 1

    start /w pkgmgr.exe /m:c:\temp\Windows6.0-KB936330-X86.cab /up s:sandbox

    For Windows Vista Service Pack 2

    start /w pkgmgr.exe /m:c:\temp\Windows6.0-KB948465-NNN.cab /up s:sandbox.

    In this command, NNN is x 86, x 64, or IA-64.

    Once Pkgmgr.exe completed, you are prompted to restart the computer to complete the uninstall.

    If these steps successfully uninstall the service pack of Windows Vista, and this resolves the issue, you are finished. If these steps do not uninstall the service pack of Windows Vista, or if these steps uninstall the service pack but do not resolve your issue, you need to restore the system to a previous state.

    To do this, go to method 3.

    Here is an article that will give you different methods on how to remove Service Pack 2:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948537

    If this does not work, then you can try to run CHKDSK on your computer.

    Recovery options or Vista disc Command Prompt type:

    chksdsk/f/r

  • Windows Vista SP2 installation error loop (x 64) 0xc0190036 error number

    Hello, after installing SP2, I constantly make the same mistake, the bad thing is, insteath to back off, the SP2 update keep trying on and again and again to change the file that contains an error (file checks! error 0 x 00190036 mshtml.tlb!).
    now... I think that microsoft really screw them this time, because the installation program runs in any mode of windows, that is to say, cannot go to safe mode to attempt to recover from there, it's just again ONCE the attempt to install the sloppy SP2, restart the computer does nothing, as the update again will activate itself , so I always end up stuck in this part of the file with this error code mshtml.tlb (it continues to blink constantly as his try again and again access the file)

    Specs: Windows Vista SP1 Ultimate x 64
    GA - X 48 - DS4
    Q6600 @ 3 Ghz Kentsfield.
    4 x 2 GB (8 GB ddr2 800 Mhz)
    Sapphire Hd 3870
    2 x Western Digital Caviar (500 + 160 Gb) + Seagate 250 GB
    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Zs

    Previous mistakes: I could never install IExplorer 8, it still reported a similar error, but with the ieunit file (don't remember the exact file currently extension)

    so the question is: will there be a fix for this problem? or do I just simply restore and try to recover manually in the hardway (Ie, run the Vista cd repair tool)
    im not wanting to use the repairtool, because he already ruined an once installation after a poor pass from windows update.

    * edit *.
    just to correct the incorrect error code, the correct error code reported is: 0xc0190036

    Sometimes the error is then replaced 0 x 0190002 then 0xc0190005 when stopping down.

    Hi Tamalero,

    You got the error message indicates that mshtml.tlb is damaged and there is one possibility of other files system is corrupted as well. All what we need to do is to rename the DLLs corrupted, restart the computer and let start the computer normally to complete the installation. Follow these steps to rename the corrupted dll file.

    (1) Insert the windows vista dvd and boot from the dvd.

    (2) select repair your computer.

    3) click on command prompt

    Type the following commands and press ENTER after each line

    C:

    CD windows

    CD system32

    Mshtml.tlb.old mshtml.tlb Ren

    (4) output from command line

    (5) restart the computer and boot up normally

    If you GET the black screen with a similar error and one different (other than mshtml.tlb) file, make a note of the dll file, repeat steps 1 to 5 and type the name of the file in step 3.

    Restart the computer. It may take a while and you will be asked to connect to the desktop computer.

    Check in system properties if SP2 is installed.

    I hope this works. If you still have problem please do after back...

    Thank you.

    Hi error_counter here:
    do a "repair" is only starting problems, and once they are solved, the problem persists (mshtml.tlb error)
    I tried to remove this file, but then the error from 0xc01900036 at 0 x 000034
    so I'm stuck again, I don't know why the file mshtml.tlb is really important to "detect" If service pack updates it anyway.

    and like I said, even though vista windows SP1 supposedly has DONE a system restore point, no system restore points were detected by the dvd (one of the things that I hate about Vista than their restore points are a draw, and you can get by no unnecessary work anytime..)

    the thing which allow me to return back to SP1 followed the instructions of another post here, related to the error 0 x 000034 in this forum but for SP1.
    I went to the c:\windows\system32 directory and renaming of software files, security, SAM and default and replace them with copies of the REGBACK folder in system32\config
    It could back me to SP1, unfortunately a quirk stuck me then in an infinite "configuration updates 3 of 3" forever time it boots (it restarts itself after a few days). and had to delete pending.xml file

    That did the trick... for now, since everything appears to be damaged (I can use the program and the work very well, but no file windows update will not work).
    SFC detects inconsistencies but he did not get to 100%, it stops at 34% saying it had problems and "could not perform the requested operation."
    I also tried different microsoft tools. as the URSCheck and he only says: "this update does not apply to your machine.

    so I guess my whole installation is really really corrupt (and makes me really hate Vista more reason, until now almost all my facilities or computers other people that contains vista, are full of mistakes or quirkcs diferent that prevents normal use.)

    so Im trying to install Windows 7 in another partition and Im thinking in whiping it that soon everything is installed there.

    Hello. I'm trying to update my parents with Vista SP2 computer, but it's a disaster. It is a 32-bit operating system.

    Hi all

    I downloaded the VMware converter tryware version, to see if we can use this tool to create virtual machines from existing industrial PC.

    We intend to make a test remote backup to a XP to a laptop machine (to keep mobile in an industrial environment)

    I installed you VMware converter and disabled the firewall on both machines.

    I also disabled the network drives that are shared on the remote computer.

    When data powered the remote computer has been entered (ip address, username, PW, BONE family) and press us Next, the pop-up appears to deploy the Agent of Standalone converter.

    If you press 'Yes' to continue, after a minute or two the following message appears:

    -Converter Standalone Agent installation failed, error code: 1601 -.

    Can someone tell me what this error code means and how I can fix this error?

    Any help will be appreciated cincerely!

    Can someone tell me what this error code means and how I can fix this error?

    Windows Installer error 1601 = The Windows Installer service could not be accessed. Contact your support team to verify that the Windows Installer service is properly registered.

    Additionally, make sure that the appropriate ports are open to allow the Windows agent to settle.

    Alternatively, you can manually install the converter on the remote system agent... and then try to restart the conversion (then there is no need to install anything).
