Error: 0x8007010B when downloading or installing all updates

I receive this error message for all update attempts - through both manual
and automatic updates. Have tried the workarounds already mentioned in the
newsgroup to no avail. Began Dec 16 - nothing in log to indicate why.

Error = cannot find directory.

?Any help ? To which directory does this refer ?any way to reinstall
windows/microsoft update

Thanks.

Hi,

The problem is caused by the lack of a Temp directory in the root of the
drive, for example, C:\Temp. Please create a temp file on the root drive.

Thank you
