Whenever I try to run windows update, none of the updates run install. They always fell but there is no error code nor is there anything in the event log. I manually installed the updates with not problems. Then I rebooted the computer to try the Windows updater and I got an error of 0x80072EE2. I then re-registered the softpub.dll and it goes back to failing. I tried it in safe mode and got the error Error number: 0x8007043C Thank you, Leto the just

Service pack 3 has caused this to happen in several systems I have been working on lately. Method number one on this page has worked every time for me: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144 Even if SP3 didn't cause it for you, this should work.

This worked like a charm, thank you. Thank you, Leto the just

Great, glad it worked for you, I used it again this morning to fix a customer's system. Thanks for posting back! Musky If the voices inside my head paid rent, I'd be rich!
