My XP machine updated itslef automaticaly yesterday, and weird things
happenned.

1) Unable to find any updates in WU : error 800A01AE showing up. I
eveything mentionned in here (cheking mxxmlXr.dll etc..., as explained in
threads talking about this error message), and came to another situation,
where the scrolling green bar keeps scrolling forever.

2) No Office application will start, "Unable to access to the Windows
Installer service" (sorry this is a translation of a french message, it may
no be the exact english message).

3) I cant drag any icons on my desktop not in my folders windows.

4) When the system boots, I have an error window that shows up, telling me
that "this application needs to be installed before it can be launched". I
dont know what is this application, tried to find in some more informations
in the logs, with no success (any hint on how to do that will be appreciated).

5) My NAV LiveUpdate wont work any more.

6) I tried to restore the system, but whatever the restore point I choose,
WinXP keeps telling me that the system cant be restored...

I use ZonAlarm as a firewall. I tried to shut it down and see if it changes
things, with no success.

Any help will be much appreciated.

José

"José",

The website error is sometimes not what the real error you are running into.
We need just a little more information from the log. Would you mind
attempting an update again and sending back the results of your attempt?
Here's how:

On Windows XP:
1. Close all Internet browsers
2. Open a single Internet Explorer window.
3. In the Internet Explorer window, click Tools
4. Click Windows Update
5. When you reach the Windows Update site, click Custom Install
6. Click Review and Install Updates
7. When presented with multiple updates, uncheck all of them except for one
update (your choice)
8. Look down at the System clock and note the time. Let the minute move
forward one, so that there is no other activity associated with this
attempt.
9. Click Install. Wait for Windows Update to fail. If it succeeds, reply
back and let us know.
10. Assuming it failed, Click Start
11. Click Run
12. Type: %WINDIR%\WindowsUpdate.log
13. Press <Enter> or Click OK
14. When the log opens, scroll down to the hour and minute you memorized in
step 8.
15. Starting at the beginning of the first entry for that minute, click and
drag down and to the right selecting the rest of the log.
16. Click Edit, then Copy, or just press the <CTRL> and <C> keys.
17. Reply to this posting.
18. When that window opens, Tell us what update you attempted to install,
and where it failed from your observation.
19. After this, on a new line, state the following and press <Enter>: Log
entries follow:
20. Place the cursor on the line under the entry from step 19, and then
click Edit, then Paste, or just press the <CTRL> and <V> keys.
21. The log entries copied in steps 15-16 should have copied into your
posting.
22. Send it to us, and let us take a look at this failure.

Sincerely,

Pat Walters [MSFT]
