UPDATE LOOPING

Likely addressed elsewhere, but I lack the time to search.

I keep experiencing update looping through MS Update as such:

WEBITE:
Keep your computer up to date
Check to see if you need updates for Windows, your programs, your hardware
or your devices.
Express Get high-priority updates (recommended)

Custom Select from optional and high-priority updates for Windows and other
programs

Then click Express Button…
Checking for latest version…

Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or installed
on your computer. To continue:
Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended)
Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem

Click continue….

Then Loops back to top.

Any help?

Thanks.

Some have reported that simply re-registering the MSXML3.DLL seems to fix the
problem.
1. Click Start.
2. Choose Run.
3. In the Run box, type: regsvr32 MSXML3.DLL
Press okay

If that hasn't helped you may need to re-registered some more files:

1. Click Start.
2. Choose Run.
3. In the Run box, type (pressing okay after each one) :-

net stop wuauserv

Repeat for the following:
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wuweb.dll
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll
regsvr32 qmgr.dll
regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll

net start wuauserv

If you need to reinstall the Automatic Updates service, follow these steps in this

You receive a "Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the

That did the trick.
I attempted this previously but overlooked deleting the "notepad" part on
the second "run" go-around.

Thanks!

Hi Anton thanks for that info I was having the same problem and your info
fixed it for me. I am guessing the issue has something to do with IE 7 as I
didnt have the loop problem until update installed IE 7....

i'M laughing so hard at this...
mostly out of glee....

anyway, just use 3rd party browser (i tried maxthon.com)
and it works fine to update the optional ones....

jesus, can't belive it

TaurArian's suggestion (re-registering MSXML3>DLL) worked for me. Thanks,
