mark2 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Had to reinstall XP Home and now cannot install updates. They download ok but wont install.Can anybody assist please?Thanks in advance.Same problem for me recently, approx 70 updates not installing seehttp://windowssecrets.com/2007/09/27/03If you find that Windows Update refuses to install most patches, you can register its missing DLLs yourself. This can be accomplished by manually entering seven commands (shown in Step 2, below) at a command prompt. If you need to run the fix on multiple machines, it's easiest to use a batch file, as Steps 1 through 5 explain:Step 1. Open Notepad (or any text editor).Step 2. Copy and paste the following command lines into the Notepad window (the /s switch runs the commands silently, freeing you from having to press Enter after each line):regsvr32 /s wuapi.dllregsvr32 /s wuaueng1.dllregsvr32 /s wuaueng.dllregsvr32 /s wucltui.dllregsvr32 /s wups2.dllregsvr32 /s wups.dllregsvr32 /s wuweb.dllStep 3. Save the file to your desktop, using a .bat or .cmd extension.Step 4. Double-click the icon of the .bat or .cmd file.Step 5. A command window will open, run the commands, and then close.make sure to use the "save as" "all files" function and add the .bat or .cmd extension, otherwise windows will save it as a text file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
