  I looked in the help and the Microsoft Web site in the world.  I tried to startup using MSconfig, activate and deactivate services, I tried the Microsoft Update Catalog.  I started by not being able to install six updates and now got it to three and have grown tired of trying to figure it out by myself.

• Windows Update fails to check for updates on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

  Windows update fails with error code "c80003fa" or full "0xc80003fa". The search for answers from Microsoft and google provided a few resources, but nothing about the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

  The 'Automatic update' service is also absent from the services.msc

• Windows Update failed - error 0 x 80070643 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4 (KB2463332)

  Original title: Windows Update Failed - need help

  Vista 32 Ultimate with all updates, until this one: update Windows failed: error 0 x 80070643 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4 (KB2463332). Update has failed repeatedly.  I tried to restart, remove the update (even by deleting the file so it would download it again) and install again.  Nothing has worked.  Error 80070643.  Since it is not Office 2003, the error seems to mean a problem with the Windows .NET framework.  Don't know what that means.

  Looking at KB976982, I tried to fix MSI software update registration corruption issues (whatever that means) by running the automated Fix It by KB971187. Restarted, I tried Windows Update again.  Still didn't update.

  Then, I waited two days and tried again.  Even that did not help.

  I tried bypassing Windows Update simply by downloading and then run the file SQLEXPR32.exe from Microsoft downloads. Did not work at all. I then tried to run it as an administrator (even if it was already an administrator account, with no other account on this computer at all).  He started to run and then gave me the following error message: unable to run the SQL Server System Configuration Checker due configulation WMI on the computer.  Error: 70347 (0x112cb).

  Now I'm really confused.  On the one hand, 80070643 means I probably repair the .NET framework, which certainly, I hate to do because I need several versions of the .NET framework first uninstall and then try to install the compmonents, and I'm afraid something would go wrong.

  On the other hand, the 70347 (0x112cb) error message seems to indicate the problem is completely different and has to do with WMI, which probably has to do with permissions and I have no idea how to solve this problem.  (And why it all of a sudden would be any problem with permissions?)  This computer is not on a corporate network and has only one user account, the administrative account).  I have looked at Services and Applications in computer management, where there are WMI control, but nothing shown that I can possibly change and not the SQL Server Configuration Manager under it, which doesn't seem to have much either.

  Help!  Please...

  And now I also tried to fix it, just in case where, the .NET framework (Panel > programs and features > Microsift.NET framework Client profile 4 > uninstall/change > fix it), and the Windows Update tried again (including reboot).  Still no.  Everything I try, it is not to do nothing, pardon my language.  People smarter than me, pleasehelp!

  [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).

• Windows Update fail to install

  original title: significant problems with Vista and Windows Update

  I'm trying to reinstall Vista. I keep running into a problem where some Windows updates fail, even when you check the history they are reported as installed. In some cases, a patch will be reported as installed once and failed three times. Often, failures are dated later than the initial success.

  If that fails, the machine does not start and I am presented with a screen asking you to go into the various forms of safe mode. What I do is starting on the installation DVD and running Startup Repair. It seems according to the most recent restore point and setting the startup process. Then, it seems that some of the fixes that have been initially successful are now chess.
  The laptop in question is a Dell Inspiron 1420 running on Vista. I did a clean install on the startup disk.
  What the hell is happening? I just want to make with this stupid installation, but I can't return the phone to its owner until each update is applied. Any help is appreciated.

  I'm not stupid either, Chief. When I got the laptop back to its owner, a virus checker will be up and active. I am a fairly advanced user so that I can get without it if I'm only hitting servers of Ms.

  Owner of the laptop is going to be behind a hardware router wireless surfing, although I go to the firewall as an extra precaution.
  Everything is up-to-date. There is no more patches. IE 9 is good to go. I don't understand how IE is critical to the security of Windows. I want that the owner of the laptop to use Chrome, because frankly it's faster and better than IE for the web standard handles.
  Have a good weekend.

• Windows update fails-G62-225DX - bad startup a factory?

  My nephew came to me recently with a G62-225DX HP, concerned about safety.  Given this machine is several years old (recently handed down from his father - I quickly understood why), I was surprised to see she was always being basic Windows 7 Home Premium.  Without SP1.

  My first attempt to resolve this was to run Windows Update - no luck - immediately fails with "cannot run - services is not started.  Of course, verification services, yes I see WU and BITS running.

  So, like any good tech person, I check in the case where the logs and see various errors, including the constant complaints on the Crypto database being corrupted.

  Then, up to be Googling for these symptoms/messages.  I see many people with the same problem and a lot of suggestions on how to fix this (re - reg WU, STRANDS of clear/reset, flush/empty C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, catroot2 flush/empty, etc.).  Even seen one on the Intel hard drive problems due to replace it with a drive of more than 500 GB (this unit still has the original 320).

  Spent hours trying all the suggestions there, especially when people said 'Yes, that fixed', nothing helps.

  Since it was not something of value on this machine, I decide backup and restore "factory".

  Imagine my surprise when, after reset of the image 'factory', it has exactly the same problem - Windows Update fails, out-of-the-box on the right!

  I think to myself, it's crazy.  The machine is faulty from the start and everyone was naïve to not get Windows updates, AT ALL!

  I even decided to try the Windows Update Checker (supposed to perform before installing SP1) and it fails with ' Windows Update Standalone install encountered and error - 0xc80000247 ".

  So, I decided to run through the suggested fixes (from M$, no less) and all of a sudden, that Windows Update works.

  I thought, it's fantastic.  He immediately calls to > 130 fixed critical.

  After a few hours of download and installed, I restart only to get a BSOD - STOP 6 b - AAARRRGGGHHHH!  Tried to go through Windows restore previous checkpoint but that too fails with a mysterious error.  In addition, many Google hits on the 6 b says that it's a hardware problem.  But he was executed until the Windows update, with nothing in the case where newspapers to indicate hardware problems.

  Then, I decided to do a restore from the image of what I started with.  At least it ran, even though she could not be updated.

  I no longer dig and see a bunch of updates to the firmware/software for this machine, including the BIOS.  Even saw some strange 'Windows updates' HP.  I thought maybe it was something like the fiasco when the power management update for Intel processors had on machines AMD, thus paralyzing them!  Still nothing - WU still does not work!

  Tried again to return to the original image, hoping that maybe to install all updates of office/hardware/driver on a virgin machine solve the problem.  Nope-WU still does not work.  Even went back through all the suggested fixed (saved as .bat files everthing).  Nothing, nada...

  So, I'm posting here in hopes that someone has a miracle cure that I missed.

  Hello:

  I don't have a magic bullet...

  The same thing happened to me while working on a friends HP 8100 Elite CMT, Windows 7 Pro, HP original image.

  Would not install SP1 or Windows updates. I tried every trick in the book and after spending more than two hours, going nowhere, including restore from the recovery discs, I decided to install a plain OS W7 clean add drivers myself using the product key for W7 on the PC.

  It has worked well.

  You can do the same thing if you can read the product key of W7 on the bottom of the laptop, and your nephew can't live without programs that was shipped with the PC.

  In addition, if you format the drive and just install W7 on current partition, you can probably find the program of the installation files for the programs supplied with the PC in the SWSetup folder.

  Here's how to do when you don't have installation of W7 media.

  Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a DVD or a 4 GB flash drive using the USB compilation method.

  Use the product key of windows 7 of 25 characters to activate your installation.

  http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below. Download the Windows 7 version that is on your product (Home Premium, professional or ultimate) key to apply.

  Quote your full version of Windows (for example, WinXP SP3;) Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7 RC. Win7) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.

  ===============

  Step #1 => foremost, note what version of .NET Framework is installed:

  How to determine what version of the .NET Framework is installed and determine whether the service packs have been applied
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/318785

  Step #2-online now see resolution method 2 in...

  When you try to install an update for .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5, you may receive Windows Update '0 x 643' error code or error code Windows Installer '1603' (ignore the title, if necessary)
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/923100

  After running the tool that is appropriate and necessary, (re) install all versions of the .NET Framework (but the ones you noted in #1 above) manually using the download links on the page, and then run Windows Update manually install security updates for same.

  NB: If you remove the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 by using the tool, reinstall .NET Framework 3.5 will also install .net Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2. Then, Windows Update will offer .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.

  IMPORTANT! =>, If you remove the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, reinstall your version of .NET Framework in the following order:

  1. the .net framework 3.5, then...
  2 .net framework 1.1, then...
  3 .net framework 1.1 SP1

  NB: KB923100 makes reference to this page: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/05/30/611355.aspx.  Please read ALL as well as the related http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/pages/8904493.aspx before using the .NET Framework cleanup tool.

  Step #3 => Check-in at Windows Update and install the critical updates of security offered.
