    Day before yesterday I did a reset (this was described to me, basically as a reformatting of all readers and a reinstallation of original software) on my desktop HP with Vista x 64.  Yesterday, I was doing the Microsoft Updates (I think he had 101 in total which stood for me).  All of the except KB951847 installed correctly.  When he reached KB951847 it says it failed with the error code 80200053.

    I read on another thread that security antivirus software or others could cause this problem, but I still have to install it all because I read that it can interfere with some updates from Microsoft.

    I solved my problem;

    the problem was owner and permission on my programs, all users, the program data and my programs (86).

    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.

    I'm fairly certain VS2008 and VS2010 now repair and install.

    Hmmm... always to see funny error message in SFC...

  • Home Vista premium: KB978338 fails with the error code 80004005

    Cannot install other updates windows update screws. Impossible to find answers to this specific problem, all the links seem to point to XP or windows 7

    Went to the Microsoft site and just tried to download and install just the fix KB978338, watched as she worked, system has rebooted with what looked like 266/266/registry component machine appearing on the screen just after the message of the HP bios and just before loading windows.  The PC then realized... Updates not configured correctly - returning changes.

    Seem to be stuck in this loop that KB978338 will not install and stops all other updates installation as all fails with the error code 800F0826.

    Hi gbislay,

    I think that you are able to get on the desktop after changes have been restored.

    Step 1: Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Step 2: Download and run the system update tool. This tool runs an ad hoc analysis of inconsistencies that might prevent future maintenance operations.

    The system update tool

     

    Step 3: Clean boot the computer

    Follow step 1 in the link below,

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to follow normal start-up step 7 in the link.

    Step 4: Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) readers, etc...) Except the mouse and keyboard and then try to install the updates.

    You can see the steps outlined in the article below, which deals with a similar question

    Windows Update error 800f0826

    The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista and Windows 7

    Service pack Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 install fails with error 0x80004005

     

    Note: Steps to solve the problem of Windows Update for Windows 7 is valid for Windows Vista.
