Vista Ultimate - Cannot search Error8007370D

Hi!
My WindowsUpdate on Vista Ultimate 32bit stopped functioning with the error
message "Windows could not search for new updates", giving error code
8007370D. Of course that's nowhere available...
Any idea in here by any chance?
Thanks! TC207

<cmd_output OS="XPsp2">
F:\>set /a c= 0x370D
14093
F:\>net helpmsg %c%
14093 is not a valid Windows network message number.
</cmd_output>


What does net helpmsg 14093 show you on Vista? ; )

Try a search?...

ERROR_SXS_IDENTITY_PARSE_ERROR 14093 0x370D
The identity string is malformed. This may be due to a trailing comma, more than two unnamed attributes,
missing attribute name or missing attribute value.

As usual, an error code without its context is fairly useless.
Find the context of the code (in any of its forms) in any diagnostics
that the update created for better understanding of what it probably means.

Hi!

Here's a cut of the WindowsUpdate.log from today...
Full .log file is available but I think it's way too big to post here.

Looking forward to your input on this..

What made me ask is there are several issues going on.

We had RC1 and then RC2 release to the public, then Microsoft made the RTM
of Service Pack 1 available. A registry hack has been floating around the
Internet allowing people download SP1 from Windows Update.

Now, after that, Microsoft started pushing out three updates that are
necessary for sp1 to install when it becomes available in mid-March.

Your warning of failed to find updates led me to suspect that you were
updating these sp1-final rerequisite patches to an already updated SP1 RC2.

Obviously, that is not the case

Is this the only file you were able to find which was changed during the update
which contained either the string 8007370D or 14093?

Hint: the message just before the first instance of the hex version of the code
refers to CBS... ; }

Also, remember that I don't have your OS so I have no idea what the logs
are supposed to look like or what other diagnostic files would have been
created, even for a normal case. That's why I started the cross-post,
to see if anybody else who has your OS is willing to compare their results
with yours.


Good luck

Robert
