Re: Windows Vista Update error 800B0100

TuarArian,

I logged a support request weeks ago and nothing has come back. I have been
researching this issue for about 2 months now. Let me simplify for anyone
else having this issue:

There is *no* solution on the internet to solve this problem - EXCEPT - for
doing an update to your Vista install. I've read things like setting your
clock, deleting all files from some freaking directory, etc, etc. Try if you
like, but I'm sure only a re-install will fix it - until Microsoft choose to
release a fix.

Thanks for reporting back. Disappointing that MS haven't responded to your incident
report.

I had things to try for this error code for Windows XP but nothing that has been tested on
Vista unfortunately.
