Re: Repair install

First step is to stop the Automatic Updates service via the Services
console or from Start > Run > type in

net stop wuauserv
Click OK or press Enter
[NOTE: Do NOT Disable the AU service, just stop it for now and leave it
set to start Automatically on boot]

With show hidden files, folders, and system files enabled,
delete all of the *subfolders* of WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution
Then close the window

Download and save:
Windows Update Agent 3.0
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237

KB927891:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...9-404327772E5A

Install WUA first, then KB927891, and restart the system
To start the automatic download of updates go back to Start > Run > type in

wuauclt /detectnow
Click OK or press Enter

Or, just initiate a manual visit to Windows Update via the Start Menu
link or from within IE
