Windows update error 80070490 - other corrections code do not work.

I have 9 updates, that I need to install it and I get the error code 80070490.

I did the following to try to address everything with no luck...
(1) tried a system restore. Unfortunately this update has been tried and failed several times during the last few days, and each time it is automatically a restore point. So now I have no more old that won to restore restore points.
2.) have tried updating system as indicated here preparation tool:
Rebooted and still have the problem.
2.) attempt to perform a repair with my Vista Ultimate DVD installation as described here:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490
The problem is that I can't choose 'upgrade '. It is grayed out. The reason for this is that I can't upgrade to a version older than what I'm running now. My DVD is SP1 and I have since upgraded to SP2. I keep seeing this recommendation and it will not work for me.
(3.) I deleted the "Software Distribution" folder and reinstalled the WindowsUpdateAgent.
4.), I tried to use the Mr FixIt. It does not find that there is a problem with the windows update and then it tries to fix it. It runs corrections and says that it has attached to them. But when I close and re - run, problems are found and 'fixed' again. I have been through multiple cycles of Mr FixIt, restart, update, error, fixit, etc.. I also tried the fixit several times back to back running. Whenever he finds the problem, says it is fixed, but then when re-ran he finds the problem, said again and again this is corrected.
This all started after uninstalling several pieces of software by using the control panel. I emptied several unused programs and uninstalled AVG Antivirus. Not sure if this is related or not, since that was a few days after uninstalling before I saw for the first time this error.
I'm still having the problem.
If you could point me kindly to specific files that need to be extracted for this error I would really appreciate it.

I managed to solve this problem on my own. It turned out to be something with the above Japanese language pack. I uninstalled it and everything updated correctly. I thought I'd pass just in case someone else has the same problem.

  • Get Windows Update, error: 80070490.

    Original title: Get Windows Update errors

    I have a Samsung NP350V5C-S09AU.

    I did a restore (full reset/factory setting) due to a previous issue in which I can not enter safe mode and start windows because of the failure in updating graphics driver (managed to do a complete reset via advanced startup).

    After the restoration of the system, I used SW Update to download the drivers first then checked and installed the windows updates. I ignored the prompt to reboot the PC SW update because I waited for the restart of the PC of Windows Update service prompt (that's what I before I did a restore and even managed to safely update to windows 8.1).

    After the reboot, it doesn't seem to be anything wrong (showed the usual for update and other progression). Then I reopened it SW Update again to search for any other driver updates, met a little a problem to update driver Bluetooth but has managed to install it successfully. However it does not appear to update to 2.0.0.7x 2.0.0.38 'settings', then I felt that I should just give 2.0.0.38 until I have install more updates to the window.

    Before you install any other updates, I checked windows update history and find facilities failed (error 80070490); I went and did a few things such as troubleshooting and SFC scans via admin cmd.

    Troubleshoot has trained and found "Windows Update components must be repaired" and "Find files missing or corrupted", both correction has been marked as fixed (auto-fix option). I ran out again to double check if it has been set, but even after several times, it shows the same results of these two issues have been found, but attaches.

    SFC scans by admin cmd has led, in a first step, "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and managed to repair their." Details are provided in convertible bonds. Newspaper %WinDir% \Logs\CBS\CBS.log. ». I used troubleshoot and always found the same errors as above and ran Scan SFC, where this time it gave rise to ""Windows Resource Protection did not find any breach of integrity. "."

    How to deal with these issues because I intended to install the last update immediately and upgrade to windows 8.1 like last time. These questions/problem makes me doubt made more updates up to now since it's the first time I get / these errors/problems.

  • Windows Update error 80070490 - persists

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate and I get error 80070490 when you try to make updates.

    I tried to reinstall the program with the DVD to repair damaged files, but my DVD has SP1 while the computer already has SP2, so it will not upgrade the DVD. The only option is to 'clean up' the installation or an upgrade higher.

    Any suggestions?

    I also have the DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. It doesn't matter if I'm updating 2 updates to security in Vista before moving on to Windows 7? The new installation of Windows 7 take care of damaged in Vista files?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You should not have two large even antivirus programs on the same computer, much less running. Then
    You must uninstall AVG, or McAfee. Please use the removal tool for the one that you want to uninstall.
    If you just uninstall it without the removal tool, they will leave problem causing remains.

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click-RUN AS ADMIN-restart when full.

    This is how serious. Can they carry only without these things?  I installed an antivirus protection so that they can manage without defender, and I know that many people do not get the updates of Windows. Are these missing files affect anything else? And what would it be?
