Installing Failed Updates

How do I try to install updates that have failed to install previously? I am
operating with Windows Vista.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks.

I had the same problem a few days ago & found the following cured what was a
corrupted update engine:

If windows updates fail to install;

First of all make sure your Time is set correctly on your Computer

Open a run command and try to Re-register these DLLs for the update Engine:

(it's easier to copy & paste the commands individually then click OK)

net stop wuauserv [click OK]
regsvr32 wuapi.dll [click OK]
regsvr32 wuweb.dll [click OK]
regsvr32 atl.dll [click OK]
regsvr32 wups2.dll [click OK]
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll [click OK]
regsvr32 wups.dll [click OK]
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll [click OK]
regsvr32 wucltui.dll [click OK]
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll [click OK]
net start wuauserv [click OK]



Then Reboot your machine and try to update again.

Hi, Cerberus

I am having the same problem as Crystal30523, have followed your
instructions re the tine but when i try and synchronize the time with
time.windows.com it says that an error occurred as the timeout period has
expired, but at the bottom it says that the time has been sychronized! also
for the benefit of a technophobe using windows vista home premium, how do you
re-install failed updates, please?

I had tried reinstalling, rebooting, rescanning, reading & trying every hint
on every newsgroup & jumpiing up and down. No luck. Then I found this post.
This worked for me. You saved my computer & my nerves. Thanks so much
