From Igor Franchuk in an email to me after I posted my problem:
(Posted this in another Thread, but just in case you missed the first
post)
....
After disassembling wuweb.dll that is responsible for webControl
update ActiveX object that is actually handling web based updates
I discovered the place where reboot required message is generated.
After looking in around the code I found that the condition
the message is generated is the presence or absence of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto
Update\RebootRequired
key.
If the key exists - the message is generated by that brand new v5
update and it fails to work further causing [Error number:
0x8DDD0007].
I assume this key was set up in my registry long ago by the when the
old automatic
update (taskbar version) was uploading a new software and failing to
install it.
The solution then is simple remove the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto
Update\RebootRequired
so there would be only
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto
Update
key without RebootRequired entry.
REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto
Update\RebootRequired]
After I removed the key RebootRequired v5 update started to work
happily, and installed a new version of wuauclt.exe - Happy Trails!
