error#: 0x80070002

Hello.

When I try to update Vista Home Premium (from the windows update
website), an error (0x80070002) is reported.
Does anyone know how I can get windows update to work properly again?
In the past it used to work fine, but now it appears to have stopped
working.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Niek

This didn't seem to work (clearing the datastore and download
folders).

Somehow it seems that using windows update from the control panel
instead of the windows update website seemed to make a difference.
When I used windows update from the control panel, it came up with
updates for my computer, so it seems everything is fine again.

After updating though, the windows update webpage still comes up with
the same error, while windows update from the control panel says my
computer is up to date.
Bit strange, but ok.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Vista is not suppose to use the website, Vista updates from the control
panel.

I see... and microsoft can't notify people of this on the windows
update website and has to give a mysterious error on the site instead?
Kind of typical if you ask me.

FYI :

Using Windows Update in Windows Vista

When you use the Windows Update in Vista, it should automatically go to the
control panel not the website.

Ok, thx. I'm behind a proxy and windows sometimes complains it can't
find updates automatically (with an icon in the systemtray).. but now
I know that I'll have to manually update from the control panel
instead of the windows update website.
