WindowsUpdate_80070490" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

My Laptop stopped accepting windows updates, gives me the code
WindowsUpdate_80070490" "WindowsUpdate_dt000" acommpanied by Windows cannot
search for updates, any ideas?

0x80070490 - ERROR_NOT_FOUND
Corrupted System File; Need to perform an in-place upgrade or reinstall of
the OS.

The error you are receiving occurs if there is corruption in the Component
Based Servicing manifest.

Ignore the title : The "Windows Features" dialog box is empty in Windows 7
or Windows Vista, or you receive an error message that includes the
following code when you try to use Windows Update: "0x80073712"

Explains SFC / Scannow"

A repair install is the usual solution of SFC /Scannow doesn't work.

You receive a "0x80070490" error code when you use Windows Update or
Microsoft Update Web sites to install updates

NB: If you've installed SP1 for Vista

Step 7 (method for Windows Vista), the *UPGRADE* option is not available
because SP1 has been installed.

Uninstall SP1 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948537

keithmi5 can also see if running the latest release of the System Update
Readiness Tool (CheckSUR) helps to resolve the 80070490 error:

Description of the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista, for
Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7, and for Windows Server 2008 R2

It surely wouldn't hurt and is less painful than a "Repair Install" or a
Clean reinstall of Vista or Win 7, right ? <w>
