WUA (Windows Update Agent) missing... How to restore?

• Windows Update error 80070005 - most likely caused by a Windows Update Agent 3.0 installation - how to solve?

  I am running Windows 7 RTM and stupidly installed Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I forget why, it seemed a good idea at the time), but now I find that Windows Update does not work - whenever I try to check the updates, it will fail with error code 80070005

  There seems to be no way to remove the Update Agent 3.0 install, despite the restoration of the system, I just found out that it was fixed at 0% of the disc, so I don't have any version of the work system to restore! :(

  So, how can I resolve this situation, for example to delete Windows Update Agent 3.0 or otherwise restore the version of the Windows Update files I had before?

  And why it does not work anyway? Is it installed... could there be a bug? Or it is fundamentally incompatible with Windows 7 and never should be installed in the first place? In which case can someone at MS please update agent Installer to avoid that it install on Windows 7, so that no one else suffers from the same problem?

  Just came across the same thing. stumped for about an hour or two to the point where I was trying just anything. In the end I disabled
  McAfee On-Access scanner, ran the update, and it went through fine. Running Windows 7 x 64...

  -Go.

• How to find out the Windows Update Agent version I am running

  Anyone know how I can find out which version of the Windows Update Agent I use?  I checked everything and no menu where only allows me to check the version.  This link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104 tell me how to get the latest version, but it is not to tell me how do I know if I am running on the latest version.
   
  And what makes it reset my of update windows components?  I read this link (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058#appliesto) and understand how to reset components, but I'm not clear on how this will affect my windows update.

  I have Windows Vista Home, SP2.

  Thank you very much!

  Ohanna Hello,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forums.

  Determine the current Version of WUA:

  Determine the version of Windows Update Agent (WUA) before using it. The current version of WUA is determined by the version of the c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll that runs in the current installation of Windows \System32 directory. If the c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll is version 5.4.3790.1000 or a later version, WUA is installed. A version earlier than 5.4.3790.1000 indicates that the Software Update Services (SUS) 1.0 is installed.

  When a call is made for SUS 1.0 using the API INTERFACE, an HRESULT of WU_E_AU_LEGACYSERVER is returned.

  You can also use the IWindowsUpdateAgentInfo::GetInfo method to retrieve the latest version of file of the c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll that runs on a computer. The IWindowsUpdateAgentInfo interface is not supported in WUA 1.0.

  For more information, see update the Windows Update Agent.

  Thank you.

  UDAY $012 please let me know that whether the solution worked or not, I thank you and appreciate your comments.

• Historic Windows Update displays do not correctly after installing problem updates 7.6.7600.256 for Windows Update Agent?

  Had the problem on the 25/06 reboot after the installation of update 7.6.7600.256 for Windows Update Agent (required system restore).

  This (with duplicates) and subsequent updates are shown as successful in the history of the update, but shows always date of "updates have been installed" on the home window Windows Update like 13/06/2012 (previous updates) and updates later only the fix (KB981889) shows as available in the Uninstall list.

  How will I know if the Windows Agent Update and other subsequent updates installed correctly?

  If the Update Agent update has not been installed correctly, is there a solution for this?

• Does WSUS / Windows Update Agent reinstall updates not installed

  I looked for an answer to this all morning and probably I am suffering from block of the researcher and cannot choose the right keywords, but I can't find the answer.

  In our environment - Server 2003, WSUS 3.0, XP desktop computers - we have finally approved XP SP3 for client machines and had some problems and some a few machines requiring to uninstall SP3.  Is WSUS / Windows Update Agent try to reinstall the service pack again at the next scheduled update (detection as absent but approved), or he knows that he was already installed once and then uninstalled and do not try to install it again?

  If this is the first, how can I let SP3 approved for the rest of the Organization and prevent its installation on machines that have yet to be addressed, short of creating a new ORGANIZATIONAL unit for them?

  If it is the latter, how can I say get to install at a later date once we have addressed the issues?

  I also did an experience in a virtual XP machine:

  Looks like they finally leave the valves on that. My Google for the keyword 7.6.7600.256 alerts has been non-stop for the last 24 hours. All my systems to update recently.

  I really doubt that they were not shut down at the same time to lighten the load on the servers since a patch work Tuesday them probably 1 million fold more difficult.

• Windows Update Agent fails to detect the updates (Windows Server WSUS with SCCM)

  Howdy

  We recently integreated WSUS in SCCM 2012, which means WSUS updates are now provided through the software Center instead of through the Windows Update client. This does not work as expected.

  However, we are using Kaspersky Endpoint Security, which has a function of software vulnerability report that we want to use. This could inform us of all the machines that do not have all their updates installed. It is a simpler than using SCCM reports interface. When searching for vulnerabilities, Kaspersky Network agent uses the Windows Update Agent service to find updates in WSUS. This function does not work on our customers, where it can detect a single Windows Update. I have a transcript example from the WindowsUpdate.log file below:

  As you can see on this update of the transcript were found only 1. This was taken from a test machine that has been built recently and had lost a large part of the updates.

  We also have in our devices infrastructure traditional WSUS running on a different server (not SCCM), which are reports in fine and properly, Kaspersky detects missing updates.

  We determined with Kaspersky that the problem lies in the Windows Update agent and not their software. Can anyone tell if the question is because we use SCCM for updates (and therefore Windows Update agent is not working properly) or that there is another issue that can be resolved?

• Windows Update Agent cannot be installed

  My complaints are as many others here who received updated last in November 2011.  I tried the "Fixit" several times

  with reboot without success.  I also downloaded the update agent 7.6 MB 9,496.  I tried to install manually, but the error

  message had been "windows update agent met with a fatal error.  I can't do the things with my computer.

  How can I be salvaged out of this situation.  It's frustrating.

  Jean-Michel Ogunola

  If you have not received an update from Nov 2011, you may be better to backup all your data (Photos, documents, bookmarks/favorites, emails, contacts, etc.) and then re-install windows from scratch and reload your data. Or at least try a repair installation - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

  However, you can try the antivirus scans. Update your Anti Virus program and then run a full scan. then download, install, update and run a full scan with Malwarebytesfree. Keep it free, no need to start a trial. See if either scan detects and removes malware.

  Then, after the scans, tell him - https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/971058 and see if this helps then.

  I used the fix tool, but not in the aggressive mode. I have not tried a reset because many of the reset of values seem to be for 32-bit machines.

  Another version of Norton 360 (i.e., N360 2008) has already been installed on the computer?

  A Norton or McAfee free trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it?

  The FixIt and reset are the same thing. Open an instance of IE 32 bits (not IE 64-bit) for http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058, click the FixIt icon and choose Aggressive mode this time.
