Necessary fix for "Code 646 Windows Update engaged an unknown error"
'Important' not installing in Windows Update downloads. There is a small shield with a icon! on my sleep button, which indicates that the updates will be installed, but sometimes they will not be installed. Since they are marked important, even if they are in the programs that I never use, do I need to worry? The message reads: "Code 646 Windows Update committed an unknown error" and has a link "help with this error", but still, it does not install.
Someone out there has a fix for this?
Thank you

I have THREE questions which PEUVENT all be linked togther... What do you think?
[I am slot as Windows 7 Ultimate (free upgrade to Dell PC w/purchase) on a Dell 64 bit PC XPS435]
I've upgraded from Vista about 3 weeks ago.#1 - Two weeks ago I had a problem with the installation of Nero/LiquidTV-TiVo to my PC... (this is also when the problem started).
To get the "Nero" thing figured out, I took the advice of someone on the Forum/Blog of Nero. The person has provided a lenghty explanation how to uninstall LiquidTV completely by removing the registry files... I don't really know what I'm doing in the registry, but everything that I helped my problem of Nero, but I couldn't tell you WHAT I deleted OR if I have deleted any bad subfolders or whatnot!... the next time I started my PC is when the NEW NUMBER is right.#2 - On my next BOOT, Windows Update has found an IMPORTANT update:
A security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 for x 64 systems (KB954430)
.. .and it fails every time, it tries to install saying this:
Windows Update - failed
Code 643 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
"Get help with this error" provides little or no help... but it says this:
"WindowsUpdate_00000643" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"
All the research I did, the problem seems to be with Microsoft .NET Framework... .and all the solutions I found talking about it, "UNINSTALL all THE .NET FRAMEWORK & REINSTALL" ... I tried and there is no .NET Frameworks listed in Add/Remove, and when I press on ' VIEW INSTALLED UPDATES'... " on my PC it says, "no updates are installed on this computer"... what the _____?#3 - Today, I thought I would just pop the WINDOWS 7 installation disc and do a repair/upgrade... It will not be upgraded.
He cycles most of the way through, then he Has STOPPED and says this:The following problems prevent upgrade Windows. Cancel the upgrade, perform each task, (it lists only a SINGLE task), and then restart the upgrade to continue.
- Windows needs to be restarted if necessary to system files can be changed before you continue.
Does not help restart. He tried 3 times and he ends up doing the same thing.
Is it possible I deleted something out of the register so far here and which is cause of all this?
If so, is it possible to fix WITHOUT doing a new install of Windows 7?
OR... anything can be a problem... Please HELP!(And please note: I am a first year student college with specialization in computer science... but I just started last semester, so I don't know what I should... yet. - though, I SHOULD have known better than to mess with the registry!) My bad).
Thanks a lot for your time in advance, and I look forward to hear from you! VikeMike4
Erwan,
