Re: Error code 8007000B when trying to install updates

if you are having the same problem I had with updates for windows not
updateing try this.


Click start All programs >Accessories>Right click on Promt Command and
select
"run as Administrator"and click "allow" for the eval prompt
In the command Promt Type "fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\"

Prompt should read "completed successful"
Close/Exit Command promt
Reboot computer
After reboot Open windows Update and reinstall updates again

this is what I got from Microsdoft Support 11/1/2007

And it works

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried it again (the command you write below)
but it still doesn't work. I still get error code 8007000B. Do you know what
else I can do? Is there something else I should do, close down antivirus
software for example? Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone. I've been having this problem with updates for a month. I can
download defender etc., but not Media & Vista updates. I have tried EVERY
suggestion going after reading all the threads & I still cannot download
updates.

The last person wanting help was in April & there's no message as to whether
it was solved by him/her.

Does anyone else know what to do apart from a clean install of Vista {which
I don't really want to do}

Most days I wish I'd never bothered with Vista as it has created more
problems than XP,then, I think of what I've paid to upgrade & I am depressed.

Did you search for the code with a 0x prefix too?

BTW obviously you have *not* "tried EVERY suggestion"
or you would be providing a better symptom description... ; }

Hi. Thank you for your reply. I'll be honest, I'm NOT a PC whizz kid, but I'm
trying to learn. I've had this problem before with updates & solved it by
doing the suggestions everyone else has tried,but this time I have looked
everywhere for a solution. The "sympton" is that at the start there were 4
updates. One for Defender, one driver (Nvidia),one for Windows Media & one
for Vista Update.

The driver & defender downloaded & installed fine, but the remaining two
downloaded but would not install.

I have tried EVERY solution I have seen on various forums and most of them
repeat what is said on this thread.

I have searched through my pc to see if there is anything wrong with the
media player etc.,but nothing comes to light. I have done virus &
anti-spyware scans & nothing comes to light. I've done disk clean at the
start of boot up & it came up 100% ok. (But there must be something wrong
with that, otherwise updates would install).

I have looked at the last "solution" again doing stand alone update, but it
will not install.

Nothing crops up on my pc to say there is a file error somewhere, but
obviously there must be, but where can I find the root of the "sympton" if
everything is telling me its ok. Even Event Viewer does not say anything, but
as I said at the start, I'm not a pc whizzkid.

can anyone else who has had similarproblem help to solve it please?

Hi,
I had the same problem, for months now, looking for solutions, doing all the
things that were suggested, but still it didn't work. Yesterday I have
reinstalled Vista and then finally all 37 (!!!) updates could be installed.
So I would suggest you do the same, it saves probably more time then looking
for solutions..

Cheers,
Mireille

Hi mir,
Thanks for your reply. That is what I'm going to do now, so I'll be very
busy for the next few hours, or days, or months!

When that happens your choices are: diagnose the problem symptom
by looking in the logs (e.g. finding some context for the error codes)
or downloading the same update and trying to install it manually.
Doing the latter gives you the opportunity to invoke more diagnostics.
It also means that any subsequent problem symptoms are independent
of WU or AU and more related to your OS or the product being updated,
in which case you may be more likely to find more informed help in forums
(e.g. newsgroups) which specialize those ways.

Well, as I mentioned in the post I pointed you to, you may need to
supplement the logging with other traces (e.g. from ProcMon.)
Sometimes even the so-called verbose logging doesn't capture
the right clues that can lead to a complete understanding of the symptoms,
which is usually necessary to devise a resolution to the problem(s) they
are caused by.

Without sufficient diagnostics all you can do is take "stab in the dark" guesses
about what you might try doing differently. Reinstalling Windows is an extreme
example of doing that. E.g. essentially it gives you a different starting point
for the next time you try to install the problem update. If it turns out the real
resolution to your problem symptom is procedural you may be doing all that
work of trying a different starting point and still not be aware of what you need
to do to get the update applied.


Good luck

Hi, I looked at all the logs but nothing was showing up as to why there was
an error,plus, you would think that when a Windows error number is given by
Windows, there is a solution for it! To put in the error no on Windows
"solution(?)!" pages, there would be something there to look up, but even
their own error number comes up "no trace!" I also went to windows updates &
tried to download manually, & the result was the same.

Anyway, I will finish because I've downloaded them. I re-installed vista,
so I'm having a great time putting everything back together again.

Thanks for all your help.....
