Windows Update Agent cannot be installed

My complaints are as many others here who received updated last in November 2011.  I tried the "Fixit" several times

with reboot without success.  I also downloaded the update agent 7.6 MB 9,496.  I tried to install manually, but the error

message had been "windows update agent met with a fatal error.  I can't do the things with my computer.

How can I be salvaged out of this situation.  It's frustrating.

If you have not received an update from Nov 2011, you may be better to backup all your data (Photos, documents, bookmarks/favorites, emails, contacts, etc.) and then re-install windows from scratch and reload your data. Or at least try a repair installation - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

However, you can try the antivirus scans. Update your Anti Virus program and then run a full scan. then download, install, update and run a full scan with Malwarebytesfree. Keep it free, no need to start a trial. See if either scan detects and removes malware.

Then, after the scans, tell him - https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/971058 and see if this helps then.

    I looked for an answer to this all morning and probably I am suffering from block of the researcher and cannot choose the right keywords, but I can't find the answer.

    In our environment - Server 2003, WSUS 3.0, XP desktop computers - we have finally approved XP SP3 for client machines and had some problems and some a few machines requiring to uninstall SP3.  Is WSUS / Windows Update Agent try to reinstall the service pack again at the next scheduled update (detection as absent but approved), or he knows that he was already installed once and then uninstalled and do not try to install it again?

    If this is the first, how can I let SP3 approved for the rest of the Organization and prevent its installation on machines that have yet to be addressed, short of creating a new ORGANIZATIONAL unit for them?

    If it is the latter, how can I say get to install at a later date once we have addressed the issues?

  • Historic Windows Update displays do not correctly after installing problem updates 7.6.7600.256 for Windows Update Agent?

    Had the problem on the 25/06 reboot after the installation of update 7.6.7600.256 for Windows Update Agent (required system restore).

    This (with duplicates) and subsequent updates are shown as successful in the history of the update, but shows always date of "updates have been installed" on the home window Windows Update like 13/06/2012 (previous updates) and updates later only the fix (KB981889) shows as available in the Uninstall list.

    How will I know if the Windows Agent Update and other subsequent updates installed correctly?

    Given that 13 of November were not able to update Windows. Updated Windows Update Agent 7.4.7600.226 failed and statement "Windows cannot check updates' appearred. Error code 80070643 received. I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

When I restart my computer, it tries to configure the updates, but does not nd comes back to the previous configuration. I also tried to download the last Agent to update from the Download Center, but it fails and gives me the 80070643 error code.

    I used the fix tool, but not in the aggressive mode. I have not tried a reset because many of the reset of values seem to be for 32-bit machines.

    Another version of Norton 360 (i.e., N360 2008) has already been installed on the computer?

    A Norton or McAfee free trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it?

    The FixIt and reset are the same thing. Open an instance of IE 32 bits (not IE 64-bit) for http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058, click the FixIt icon and choose Aggressive mode this time.

  • Windows Update error 80070005 - most likely caused by a Windows Update Agent 3.0 installation - how to solve?

    I am running Windows 7 RTM and stupidly installed Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I forget why, it seemed a good idea at the time), but now I find that Windows Update does not work - whenever I try to check the updates, it will fail with error code 80070005

    There seems to be no way to remove the Update Agent 3.0 install, despite the restoration of the system, I just found out that it was fixed at 0% of the disc, so I don't have any version of the work system to restore! :(

    So, how can I resolve this situation, for example to delete Windows Update Agent 3.0 or otherwise restore the version of the Windows Update files I had before?

    And why it does not work anyway? Is it installed... could there be a bug? Or it is fundamentally incompatible with Windows 7 and never should be installed in the first place? In which case can someone at MS please update agent Installer to avoid that it install on Windows 7, so that no one else suffers from the same problem?

    Just came across the same thing. stumped for about an hour or two to the point where I was trying just anything. In the end I disabled
    McAfee On-Access scanner, ran the update, and it went through fine. Running Windows 7 x 64...

    Ohanna Hello,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forums.

    Determine the current Version of WUA:

    Determine the version of Windows Update Agent (WUA) before using it. The current version of WUA is determined by the version of the c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll that runs in the current installation of Windows \System32 directory. If the c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll is version 5.4.3790.1000 or a later version, WUA is installed. A version earlier than 5.4.3790.1000 indicates that the Software Update Services (SUS) 1.0 is installed.

    When a call is made for SUS 1.0 using the API INTERFACE, an HRESULT of WU_E_AU_LEGACYSERVER is returned.

    You can also use the IWindowsUpdateAgentInfo::GetInfo method to retrieve the latest version of file of the c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll that runs on a computer. The IWindowsUpdateAgentInfo interface is not supported in WUA 1.0.

    For more information, see update the Windows Update Agent.

    Thank you.

  • Unable to use wireless internet. In addition, my windows update will not be installed.

    Original title: extended error code = Oxfof4

    I have a couple of different symptoms. My laptop acts like it doesn't even have wireless capabilities although the exact model the same sitting next to her was a strong wireless signal (I still had internet capability on this laptop also). In addition, my windows update will not be installed.  I checked "Event Viewer" in system tools and have all sorts of errors. Error service Control Manager, "Warning b57w2k", code error Windows Update Agent and more. Still, the laptop doesn't move and accesses files, but no internet. I scanned with AVG and Malwarebytes 0 infection. Uugh!  Any suggestions?

    Many laptops have a switch that turns on or off the wireless radio.  This can be a physical switch somewhere on the laptop or a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys.  Read the user manual for the laptop for more details.

    The warning includes "b57w2k" seems to be linked to a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller (not wireless, wired).  You can click the copy (just below the up/down arrows) on the property sheet for the event and paste the content in your next post here.

    In general, the report that you have 'all kinds of errors' in Event Viewer is not very useful.  We do not understand what you're watching.
