Install err 0x800A138F log err 0x80070057

Thanks, but this is part of the same resolution I was
referring to from the Microsoft Knowledge Base, and which
I've tried.

Could there be something else out there or that I am
missing? Thanks again!

After I click "Install Now", I get the error 0x800A138F,

0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect" in the Windows
Update.log. The Windows Update Troubleshooter says this
can occur with NetOp or Lynx software, which require
registry format fixes. BUT I don't have either of these
software, so their registry entries don't exist.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

CPD,

Please see your original thread for a response.

Thanks,
