Windows Update Sucks
« on: July 15, 2007, 07:46:34 pm »
I just reformatted and reinstalled.  I ran Windows Update, and it said there were 90 updates I needed.  It downloads them all, and then tries to install.  After about 5 seconds of it doing nothing, it says it didn't install anything.  Pictures below.




Microsoft troubleshooting and help are useless.

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Windows Update has a Log file in the C:\ folder. Analyze the dump and look for the error ID it gives you on google. With luck a Microsoft support article will pop up.

They are all errors about not having enough battery (it's plugged in, so wtf?)

Can you paste relevant sections of %systemroot%\windowsupdate.log from your most recent attempt?

Re: Windows Update Sucks

Never seen that failure mode before.  Sounds like some COM object got unregistered somehow.  You might try renaming away %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution such that it will reinstall WUA - might have a chance at fixing however your install got into that broken state.

(N.B. To do this, you'll need to stop wuauserv before the rename and restart it after.)
