[GUIDE] Windows Update Fixes

[simonallison]

The errors can occur before SP2 or After SP2 it has been at random with some laptops\PC's.

Create a batch file called wu5_fix.bat and add the contents below.

------------------------------------

net.exe stop wuauserv

cd /d %windir%

rd /s softwaredistribution

REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuapi.dll

REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuaueng.dll

REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\wucltui.dll

REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\wups.dll

REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\msxml3.dll

net.exe start wuauserv

------------------------------------

This is what the batch file does:

Stops the Automatic Updates Service

Removes C:\windows\SoftwareDistribution

Registers some DLL's provided for Windows Update.

then starts Automatic Updates Service.

This will fix most windows update errors.

i haven't got an error yet and i've had SP2 since it came out, but why stop the automatic updates? you can easily do that in your control panel
