Re: windows update error 80070424

If you have a problem with this working in windows Vista, start the command
prompt from Start, Accessories, right click on Command Prompt, click "run as
administrator" ...then enter the above regsvr32 wuaueng.dll command.
Otherwise you will get an error 80070005, which is a permissions error.
