Re: cannot install update

Wonderful - it works.
With me it was the wuauclt (.exe) handler failing to spawn the COM server
giving the 0x80004002 error.
Luckily I have only been unable to install updates for a few days. Still I
wonder what caused it in the first place, overzealous regcleaner perhaps?

"Overzealous regcleaner" is a redundancy. :-)
