windows update error code 80070490 on x64 vista

kaimera

wondering if anyone here has encountered this?

running x64 vista on my laptop and it's been off the last week or so and tonight I turn it on and check for updates only to get this error code back.

threw it into google and I get some stuff about resetting permissions and reinstalling the microsoft update 3.1 but I get conflicting reports as to whether it works or not.

another 'solution' was to run a vista upgrade or such but again, no solid confirmation if works.

help?!

doesnt sound like it could hurt to download and reinstall windows update.

Hey,

I went and googled which dlls to register but it wont let me register most of them. I get errors.

Will post up screen of error box when I get a chance.

Ran the WGA diag tool and my vista is validated so I dunno wtf is going on. No updates in a week now.

you will probably need to reset the acls on it and take ownership of the files

kaimera

Sorted the ownership and the like but no luck with WU

Might try the 'upgrade' fix I've seen...failing that I'll just re.install

cance

try this:

click start
click run
type cmd

Now in the command box type the following line by line (or copy the below and right click to paste it into the cmd box):

net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
del /q %windir%\windowsupdate.log
rd /s /q %windir%\softwaredistribution
regsvr32.exe iuengine.dll /s
regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll /s
regsvr32.exe wuaueng1.dll /s
regsvr32.exe wuauserv.dll /s
