Re: Files required to use Windows Update are no longer registered,

[T.S.Gomez]

I've tried everything that was posted here, as well as on several othere
boards (including re-registering the atl.dll) and it still doesn't work.

Are there any other suggestions out there?

Did you try installing the Windows Update client etc - see link below for download etc
When you use Automatic Updates to scan for updates or to apply updates to applications
that use Windows Installer, you experience issues that involve the Svchost.exe process

Yes I did. I also tried to see if I could get MS Office updates. I ended up
having to install Windows Installer 3.1. The MS Office updates worked, but
the Windows updates still don't.

Thanks for your assistance.

Did you re-register all these files ?


net stop wuauserv

Repeat for the following:
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wuweb.dll
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll
regsvr32 qmgr.dll
regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll (depending upon Java installed so it may error)

net start wuauserv
