No solution to Update error 57E?

Input regedit in the Start Search field and then click the Search button
*Right* click regedit and choose 'Run as administrator'
[ Don't have Vista installed, but the above *should* allow you to
edit the Permissions in the registry ]
Once the registry editor is open, click Edit, and then Find
In the Find what: field, enter
13DE4-A42-8D21-4C8E-BF9C-8F69CB068FA
Click the Find Next button

When the first instance of 13DE4-A42-8D21-4C8E-BF9C-8F69CB068FA is
located, *right* click it's subkey and choose Permissions.

Make a note of all instances of 13DE4-A42-8D21-4C8E-BF9C-8F69CB068FA and
it's Perms.
* Post back with them, please *

After rereading the thread and seeing the problems you had editing the
registry previously, I'm very hesitant to blindly recommend reg edits
for you. Just provide the Perms and we'll proceed from there. <w>

Thanks for getting back to me, I followed the steps , & nothing came up when I did the search .Unfortunatly I had previously let Mcafee Clean the registry, & as I said I had deleted the file , I imagine that would be why I couldn't find it. Thanks anyway Mow at least I know how to find something in the registry now , If it crops up again I will let you know. what the permisions are , You have been really helpfull and your advise has been truly apreciated, hopefully we will talk again soon. Bye & allthe best, Steve

Hy, could it be, that the 'error 57e' is in hexadecimal? Go and look for 'error 1406' in the web and then u'll find different postings!
greetings from switzerland

FYI, hex 57E is equivalent to decimal 1406.

Hi everyone. I get the same error code 57E. I tried pinekatz solution but it still fails. After I agree with the terms, it installs. During installation it fails and asks to close the program. No option to ignore is available. Any other solutions around?

[AndyF]

aztony,

I would be happy to try to help you, but as this solution provided by Pinekatz has been a real success, I need to know some specific information.

- What version of Vista are you running? (eg, Premium, Ulitmate, 32 bit/64bit)
- What Update is failing and giving you no option?
(you should be able to determine the update through Windows Update,
give the title of the update, and if possible, any KB number that might
be in parenthesis after the title.)
- With no insult intended, are you following Pinekatz' direction TO THE LETTER?
(eg, its very important I have found, to run the update with the "Run"
button just after the download. ((dont ask me why this is this way...))

Try to post a little more information so those of us who have been focused on this pain in the a__ error might be able to pinpoint whats happening.

Hey gang,

Thanks to David, Chris and others who have pointed out the dreaded 57E is indeed 1406, although I am not sure if that is really any overall solution path and it seems Pinekatz' solution is the best. I have shared this with four other work associates who for better or worse, run flavors of Vista, and its worked for all of them. However, I have the answers to some general stuff...

- Why arent people all over flipping out over this?
3 of the 4 people I shared Pinekatz' solution with, didnt even know they had tons of failed updates. Frankly, they didnt realize they could even look at update history. One nice lady got ticked at me because she said she spent three hours doing her updates - never realizing so many had failed. Kind of figures of course, lots of people run various OS's and never realize 1/2 of the stuff thats in there.

- Why isnt MS doing something about this?
Apparently Vista is built atop a framework that has very tight Registry editing permissions. If you have noticed, as I have, that this stuff fails a lot in loading Reg entries for CHM (HTML compiled help files) - its got to be something with Vista allowing an update to install a link for an updated help file. I am wondering if any of you Vista gurus, far more knowledgable than I, can shed light on "do we have Admin privledges when an auto-update runs?" or may be even better - Why does Pinekatz' solution work so well?

- Will MS fix this?
Yes, definately. Just as soon as pigs fly.

...then again, maybe we could figure it out and sell them the solution.

Hi AndyF

I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

The update is the SP1 package for Office Enterpreise 2007.

No insult taken. Yes, after the package downloads I hit the run option and not the save. I wish there was a KB number I could give you but I do not get one. It just tells me the installation failed and to close the program.

Thanks for your help.
