582 is not a valid Windows network message number.

Does Vista show a valid message for: net helpmsg 582


Perhaps this?

If so, perhaps the download was corrupt.
Is there an alternate way of getting it?
Try getting the same thing from the Windows Update Catalog?


Also, more complete diagnostics may be available in other log(s).
Do a search for all files modified by the update to find all possible clues.
If necessary you could supplement those by invoking verbose logging
(when available) and running ProcMon to capture all file and registry accesses
to assist in an interpretation of what log messages you do get.

Depending on how you applied your maintenance that might make sense.
E.g. applying SP1 to base would supersede all other updates.

Need more details. That might only be a symptom of a bad User-Agent string.
In any case, "download center" is not the same thing as what I suggested:
Windows Update Catlog. You should be able to download an update for any OS
there... Is the update there? Oh. Is this still beta? You probably should not
even be posting about that here... There is probably a special newsgroup or
forum somewhere for you in that case.

This sounds contradictory. Previously you said you had already uninstalled
it and it left no maintenance.

As I said, more complete diagnostics may be available in other log(s).
E.g. above CBS is mentioned. I think that often Vista users have
found more details in CBS.log specifically but I don't know what the
context of that would have been...

FWIW here is the most helpful article I could find about that diagnostic

<title>How to use Package Manager to uninstall a package in Windows Vista</title>
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940410

(Live Search for
"cbs.log" site:support.microsoft.com
)


BTW I don't have your OS, so in case someone else has a correct
version of your log(s) which would help you understand what is wrong
with yours I'm cross-posting to a Vista NG.


Good luck

Thanks for the reply.
I appreciate the help.
Seems as if I'm going to have to split this post into 2 parts as I'm
exceeding the 30000 character post limit on this board
So here goes part 1:

Yes - this is pretty much the message I get when running those commands
I have 2 copies of it already. both generate the same error message.
The important thing for me isn't so much installing the RC2 as properly
uninstalling the SP1RC1.
It's after uninstalling RC1 that windows update stops working - any attempt
to use WU generating error code 0x80070246.
Attempting to install RC2 from a standalone package generates error code
0x80070246
Attempting to install RC1 again (from a standalone package) generates error
code 0x80070246

I'm pretty sure I had some updates installed prior to installing SP1, but I
could be wrong.

Thanks for the tip about update catalog
Tried this, but packages downloaded from here simply state that "This update
does not apply to your system"
With regards to the beta status, SP1 RC1 is open, and I'm pretty sure the
problem lies with the uninstalling of that package.

Hmm, maybe I should clarify.

I have uninstalled the SP1 RC1. It has left no obvious maintenance (to me at
least )
However, after uninstalling said package, Windows update started generating
the error code 80070246.
Any attempt to install ANY standalone update generates "This update does not
apply to your system"
Attempting to install RC2 generates code 80070246
Attempting to reinstall RC1 generates code 80070246

I tried to uninstall SP1 RC1 a little while ago as well, but that generated
the same problems with windows update.
I then restored the vista installation (with the SP1 RC1 already installed)
through a PING 2.0 backup from my tftp server.

According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228
SFC should generate a log file accessible by the following command
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt
Running this command generates a 0 byte file in my case, but the cbs logs
are located at that adress
If I run sfc /scannow it generates an error message that is displayed in
the cbs logs as

And this is really odd, it's loading 6001.18000 servicing stack, but any
attempt I've made to install rc2 has generated an abort and the errorcode
80070246.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm utterly clueless as to wtf is going on.
Anyways, I pretty much just want windows update back up and running,
everything else is just a bonus

Does the wave 0 here
2008-02-12 14:58:43, Info CBS SPI: Wave 0 detected
imply that it's detecting an sp1 wave0 installation in place after I've

Thanks again for any help.
