HAVE WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM WINDOWS SETUP DOES NOT CORRECTLY GIVES 641 ERROR WHEN AUTO UPDATE TRIES TO INSTALL IMPORTANT UPDATES.  DON'T ME LETS NOT UNINSTALL A PROGRAM SAYS CAN'T ACCESS THE WINDOWS INSTALL.

You have installed system mechanic? This is what it seems possible that a recent analysis could have messed up windows installer, so causing problems similar to what you describe.

I followed the instructions in this thread:

http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-windows_update/Windows-Installer-and-error-codes-641-80070641/24fd9f52-7faa-4f80-8f8e-8c7cd80dd481

Easy to follow, even for an old man like me.

  • Windows XP does not start error Code 0 x 00000024

    I was playing a game oin my 20o5 Windows XP Media Center EDition and then it froze and he died so I decided to reactivate it, but then it went to a blue screen with a code of 0 x 00000024(0x00190203,0x8AD9E0D8,0xc0000102,0x00000000) Please help me I don't know what to do

    Hello

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. are you able to boot into Windows after the Blue error screen?

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

    This error occurs generally if there are bad sectors on the hard disk.

    I suggest that you perform a CHKDSK scan on the computer by using the recovery console, which would scan for bad sectors on the hard drive will try to get it back.

    1. Insert the Windows XP CD into your CD drive and restart your computer. If you are prompted, select any options needed to start (boot) on the CD.
    2. When the text portion of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recovery option by pressing R
    3. When you are prompted, type the administrator password.
    4. Type: chkdsk /r and press ENTER.

    When you are finished, type exit and your PC will restart and if all goes well start Windows.

    Note: If there is any data on the bad sector on the hard drive, it can be lost. If you can boot into Windows, I would say that you back up the data and continue.

    You should also run a SFC scan. Follow the steps below to perform a scan of the SFC.

    The scan SFC enforcement procedure:

    1. click on the Start button

    2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories

    3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

    4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option

    5. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

    6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter

    7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

    8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

    9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue

    10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

    11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    These steps should solve the problem, give it a try and check if you are able to perform the update of windows

    Hope this information is useful.

    Thanks and regards.
