Problems with KB 892130 - Vaildation tool; Error Code: 0x80070005

I had the same problem I see others have had: When trying to use Windows
Update to download security updates, it said I would have to validate my
'Genuine' Windows. OK. So it downloads whatever and says it will now install.
After a few minutes it reports that the install failed! So it looks like the
update IS downloaded but just won't install. I go to the validation site and
all goes well. Still can't install. So I dig through component services,
looking for clues: logs say install failed! Thanks!
Anyway, to make this long story short, this solution worked for me:
Download this file and run it after shutting the browser down. Then restart
the browser (Internet Explorer).

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...4/WGADiag2.exe

Thanks, that did the trick.I know my version is valid and it had no problem
in the past, just all of a sudden. Passed the test when I clicked on the
button to validate but could not get windows updater to update.

This worked and now I am up to date.

This was my problem also. This suggestion worked for me also. Thanks for
your work and research on this problem.
