• Windows Update fails to install KB974234 and returns the error code 80070641

  Previous issues with the installation of the updates or with those who just do not had are released on 11/10, but cannot install KB974234 (published on 10/13).  Update returns the error code 80070641.

  I am running Vista Home Premium with Office 2007 SP2.  Diagnostics Office finds no problem.

  Following further discussions, I have (among other attempts): stopped the Service Windows Installer (returns this message "the Windows Installer service is not started"), tried the Patch Registration Cleanup Tool (wouldn't not - said "a productcode must be determined"), downloaded manually updated.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  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: see the "to install Windows by performing a clean install" (or "reinstall Windows Vista") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista article

  NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

  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:

  VERY IMPORTANT! -Online any Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool appropriate prior to installing the updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application.

• Update (error code 80070103) Windows Update fails & Microsoft Security Essentials does not install (error code 0 x 80070643)

  I keep trying to update and all these errors reappear. I can't install Microsoft Security Essentials and any update of Windows. I tried to do system Recoery by pressing F11 after reboot, and it does not work either.  I'm guessing that something might be wrong with the registry or there is a virus but I am not a computer wiz. I don't have the Vista recovery disc and the original disk to restart.  is it possible to fix this?

  I paid to get it to format in November 2010... I installed a fake Windows Vista on it (32 bits but my PC on a 64-bit password) so I had to clean install it.

  I don't understand: If you paid someone to format the HARD drive and do a clean Windows, when install I YOU "installed a 32-bit Vista?"

  If your parent friend had lost the Windows CD comes with the brand new computer, the person you paid use to do the clean install of Vista 64-bit?

  I do not see KB948465 in installed updates, only KB956250 & KB256506

  I asked only KB948465. In any case, KB256506 is not an update or a section of the play.

  No, I never had any other than Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus

  Again, I don't understand. If you have never had any other antivirus MSE and MSE has been installed since November 2010, why you try to 'install Microsoft Security Essentials' now?

  Q: which, if any, of these updates ARE LISTED in updates installed (no update history)?
  A: See the number 3, I don't see anything else apart from those two

  What "number 3"? You see nothing else, in addition to the two updates to date?

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  I give up. I can't help you if you do not answer my specific questions in your very next answers!

  I think you'd better take the computer back to the repair shop & pay to figure what's wrong (yet). Good luck.

• Windows 8 app Store could not update the app with error code 0 x 80070057

  Hello

  I have an application that I downloaded from the App Store of Windows 8 (RTM version), who has recently had an update, but Windows Store could not be updated and returned the error code 80070057 0 x.  But after the update failed, Windows Store still lists old as installed APP and calls the updated application.  I tried reapplying the update but it keeps fails with the error 0 x 80070057.  I tried to look for ways to uninstall it, but the Live tile has been removed from the home screen (not listed under all the Apps either), so there is no way to uninstall it.  Now I'm stuck with Windows Store perpetually asking the updated application.
  Does anyone know how to uninstall a Windows 8 application without the Live tile?  Thank you.

  I am running Vista Home Premium.  Windows update fails to install KB2656368 and KB2686827.  Download error code641 which seems to mean that Windows cannot identify the problem.  In the past, it was caused because the installer has been damaged.  In setting the Microsoft Support took control of my computer; Download a new installer and solved the problem.  However, it seems that there is no way of contacting Microsoft Support for them to fix the installation program.  The installation program be fixed right now.  Moreover, the tool "Fixit" said that everything is fine.

  Microsoft paid $99 for the support.  Tech uploaded a new installer.  Problem solved!

  1 PC is powerful enough with i7 and 16 GB chip.

  2. new SSD this week.

  2. freshly downloaded Windows 8 Pro ISO burned to a DVD and checked.

  3 Ran install successfully and signed using my Microsoft Account.

  4 Ran Windows Update in Control Panel.

  5. Windows update found 127 updates and they failed with error code 80248007.

  I don't understand how I can get these failures with a new facility.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance!

  Hello

  Glad you got it going... If I had to guess, it was very likely updates .net 3.5, which has caused the problem... or maybe, Net 4.5...

  They require a process runs to complete their installation that seems to start running in the middle of updates remaining to try to install...
