Hi Jerhende37,

1. do you have security software installed on the computer?

If the previous step fails, then I suggest you temporary disable the security software on the computer and see if you can install the updates.

    Hello Vidaneufeld,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    Windows Update error 80070643 can happen for several reasons. The most common cause is a problem with the .NET Framework is installed on the computer. You may also encounter this error during the installation of the updates for

    Microsoft Office 2003.

    This problem may occur if the MSI software update registration is damaged, or if the installation of .NET Framework on the computer is damaged.

    I suggest you run the Windows update Troubleshooter and check.

    Please also run 'repair of Microsoft .NET Framework tool' and check the issue.
    Reference:

    Error code 0 x 80070005 usually indicates that you don't have enough privileges or the operation is blocked. I know, some programs (Boot Camp on a Mac PC, etc.) is not compatible with Windows 7, if you have installed these programs on the computer, you may not be able to perform the upgrade.  You should uninstall these programs before upgrading. In addition, such a question may be related to UAC, I recommend you turn off UAC in Windows Vista, if you have installed security software, try uninstalling the security application as well.

    BTW, for your references, I found similar questions:

    As I type this i / m re - run SFC/verify only and a big pile of sucessfully some updates installed.

    What have I done? I took possession of the special directories above from "TrustedInstaller".

    Even when owned by TrustedInstaller, it does not have permissions. Some places I found rejection specific to the owner of the network.

    -What happened? Do you have a trusted Installer get stuck Mid-install?

    I took possession of SYSTEM, and made sure the CREATOR had every right, as in the SYSTEM and

    USER, AUTHENTICATED USER. I was perhaps too broad.

    I took possession, and then all of the repressed, updates windows are presented themselves to install,.

    and I expect /VERIFYNOW SFC before as I mark this as running.
