Windows Update fails to run and get the C800044E error code

Windows Update does not check the updates and I get the C800044E error code.  So far, thi is what I did:

Please, try the following suggestions to see if the problem can be solved:

1. click on Start, type notepad in the start search box and press ENTER.

2 copy and paste (or type) the following command lines in the Notepad window:

net stop wuauserv

CD %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution

Ren Download.old download

net start wuauserv

3. on the file menu, click on record under and type Rename.bat .

4. click on save as type and then click on all files (*. *) .

5. save the Rename.bat file to your desktop.

6. right click on the Rename.bat file, and then click run as administrator .  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click continue . It renames the download folder.

7. try to install the updates again.

8. If the problem is resolved, delete the Rename.bat file that you created in the previous steps.

any other ideas?

Quote your full version of Windows (for example, WinXP SP3;) Windows XP 64 - bit SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64 bit) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.

Is this a sudden, new problem?

Are you having difficulty he run in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/971058 and don't you run it in default and aggressive modes?

What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

    Since it is a Dell computer, chances are a Norton or McAfee free trial is preinstalled. When you have done the clean install, the free trialware would have ALSO reinstalled (but not valid now).  Let's see if the execution of two removal tools & a few tweaks resolves the behavior.

  • I can't windows media udate player. I get the 0x8007007e error code when executing the validation program.

    I bought this computer new with XP about 5 years ago with no update problems in the past.

    What are the causes of error 0x8007007E ?

    When you use the Windows Update site, you can find that the service is unable to update your computer and returns a "General error":

    0x800a138f

    However, the REAL error code we need is in the Windows Update log.

    The windows update log is in the following locations:

    C:\Windows\Windows Update.log (Win XP only)

    Just copy and paste the above in Windows Explorer and the
    file will open automatically in Notepad on your computer utility.

    Most recent journal entries will be at the bottom. Search for entries of update failed and you will see an error next to him.

    Use the following tips to try to fix the 0x80072EE2 error... After each test point to determine if the problem is resolved.

    The most likely entry that you will see is:

    Error IUENGINE Determining computer configuration (error 0x8007007E: the specified module could not be found.)

    This article explains how to fix the 0x8007007E error code...

    What is the problem of 0x8007007E?

    I don't want to get too technical, but here are the main reasons for this error code is generated:

    (a) there are a number of security and bug issues in Microsoft XML (MSXML) version 3.0 - SP3 Analyzer.

    (b) the 0x8007007E error can also be caused by missing or corrupted dynamic link library (.) DLL files) - CABINET. DLL and URLMON. DLL.

    Here's how to try to solve the problem of 0x8007007E:

    (Step 1) - Windows XP only...

    There are a lot of applications provided with MSXML 3.0. Uninstalling one of these applications on a Windows XP system could potentially remove the MSXML 3.0 assembly files (msxml3.dll and msxml3r.dll).
    We shouldn't have to register only a single file...

    To do this:

    Click on Start menu and then click the icon for the race.
    In the small box that opens, type the three letters: cmd, and then click the OK button.
    In the command prompt window that has just opened (a black background and white text), type the following commands, pressing the ENTER key on your keyboard subsequently:

    regsvr32 msxml3.dll

    Now, type in the word: output and the window will close.
    Now restart and try and Microsoft Windows Update again...

    If it fails with the error 0x8007007E once again try step 2

    (Step 2) - Windows XP only...

    Now lets you update your system with the latest Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) version 3.0 SP4

    Download here (use the msxml3usa.msi for the English version.)

    Notes...

    (a) you have to reinstall MSXML 3.0 Service Pack 4 If you upgraded to Windows XP to a computer running one of the operating systems following:

    -Windows 98

    -Windows ME

    -Windows NT 4.0

    (b) Windows 2003 Server
    comes with version 3.0 - SP4 and if you do not need to install it.

    (c) occasionally, Setup may need to restart the computer, but fails to inform the user. So restart your machine just in case. Then try Windows Update again.

    (d) to install a localized version (for example English) MSXML 3.0 SP4 on a system different from the previously installed/local (for example the French) version of MSXML 3.0 SP4, follow these steps:

    Cancel the existing record of the installation package by running the following command in a command prompt window:

    msiexec /x {45534579-B75B-4A42-953B-2EF8E1DEB4F3} /qn

    Now, install the new language version of MSXML 3.0 SP4.

    If it fails with the error 0x8007007E once again try step 3

    (Step 3) - Windows XP only...

    Search for missing/corrupted system files...

    Windows XP comes with a wonderful tool called System File Checker (SFC) it scans and verifies the versions of all protected system files after you restart your computer... However, it can sometimes miss a problem, so we can run the tool now to replace the CABINET. DLL and URLMON. DLL, if there is a problem with them:

    To do this:

    Click on Start menu and then click the icon for the race. In the small box that opens, type the three letters: cmd, and then click the OK button. In the command prompt window that has just opened (a black background and white text), type the following command:

    SFC/scannow

    then click OK

    You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group to run SFC.

    You will need your Windows XP CD during this procedure if SFC needs to get an original file. Remember that Windows XP can have multiple instances of a. DLL to the folder and don't forget what version to which program.

    Notes...

    I was asked if it is possible to have a show of "progress meter" during the execution of SFC... It's the registry hack you need. Please do not go play with your registry if you don't know what you do!

    The system key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

    Value name: SFCShowProgress

    Data type: REG_DWORD (DWORD value)

    Value data: (0 = disabled, 1 = on)

    IMPORTANT: This article will cure the problem 0x8007007E for many of you. However if it does NOT then I would like to here from you. Alternatively, have you tried something else that worked? Then send me the fix too!

    You can also find these useful error codes - for future reference, especially trying to understand error messages in the Windows Update log! (They are given here as a guide for general problems and further research on your part to solve the particular problem you may have.

  • Windows updates fail to download and install the new

    Good afternoon

    I recently bought this satellite laptop computer pro on the package was both windows vista Home premium. I also decided to change fnsi at the same time. The provider also gives Norton Firewall Virus Intrusion etc etc.

    Microsoft does not validate my system but after that 2 hours on the phone with them and a system restore, they have agreed that I had bought some valid stuff and that fixed it.
    Now it seems windows updates icon appears ask me do I want to download and install.

    I do but every time, it fails, there are about 11 things that fail, no installation. I rang Microsoft today that they made one or tow things say but PC Toshiba's fault.

    Please, anyone had this happen to them and got the solution (s)?
    Please take into consideration that my knowledge of pc can be written on the back of a postage stamp. Do like me simple.

    Thank you

    Did you try to disable the firewall or uninstall Norton? Norton may block the Internet connection.

    If the provider uses a Proxy Server, you need to enter the proxy in Internet Explorer connection settings.

  • Update (error code 80070103) Windows Update fails & Microsoft Security Essentials does not install (error code 0 x 80070643)

    I keep trying to update and all these errors reappear. I can't install Microsoft Security Essentials and any update of Windows. I tried to do system Recoery by pressing F11 after reboot, and it does not work either.  I'm guessing that something might be wrong with the registry or there is a virus but I am not a computer wiz. I don't have the Vista recovery disc and the original disk to restart.  is it possible to fix this?

    I paid to get it to format in November 2010... I installed a fake Windows Vista on it (32 bits but my PC on a 64-bit password) so I had to clean install it.

    I don't understand: If you paid someone to format the HARD drive and do a clean Windows, when install I YOU "installed a 32-bit Vista?"

    If your parent friend had lost the Windows CD comes with the brand new computer, the person you paid use to do the clean install of Vista 64-bit?

    I do not see KB948465 in installed updates, only KB956250 & KB256506

    I asked only KB948465. In any case, KB256506 is not an update or a section of the play.

    No, I never had any other than Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus

    Again, I don't understand. If you have never had any other antivirus MSE and MSE has been installed since November 2010, why you try to 'install Microsoft Security Essentials' now?

    Q: which, if any, of these updates ARE LISTED in updates installed (no update history)?
    A: See the number 3, I don't see anything else apart from those two

    What "number 3"? You see nothing else, in addition to the two updates to date?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I give up. I can't help you if you do not answer my specific questions in your very next answers!

    I think you'd better take the computer back to the repair shop & pay to figure what's wrong (yet). Good luck.
