You're more likely to find Vista Gurus in Vista-specific newsgroups. ; )
Cross-posting to one for convenience of reference.

FWIW:

<cmd_output OS="XPsp2">
F:\>set /a c = 0x426
1062
F:\>net helpmsg %c%

The service has not been started.


F:\>set /a c = 0x7e
126
F:\>net helpmsg %c%

The specified module could not be found.

</cmd_output>


As I always say, codes are useless without their context.
Otherwise, which service? Which module?

That's why I would Run... ProcMon to supplement the install logs.


Good luck

Might address this with free Windows Update support:
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...spx?gprid=6527

FWIW, the error code usually means something, possibly a service, failed to
start.
