Vista Ultimate x64 bombs with error 80070005

After using Vista Ultimate on my AMD x64 for a month and a half, Windows
Update bombs with error code 80070005. Is there a solution to this? I see
others have posted similiar errors, but i don't see a definative answer.

0x80070005 = E_ACCESSDENIED
Now, why did the 'applicability evaluation for setup package' fail due
to a Permissions issue ?

Was another antivirus program installed when the system was first
updated, that AV was subsequently uninstalled, and now there's another
AV installed ?

The system is attempting to update to the latest version of the Windows
Update Agent. See if you can manually download the latest WUA and get
that to install :

Windows Update Agent 3.0 [x86 - 32 bit]
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe

Windows Update Agent 3.0 [x64 or 64 bit]
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x64.exe

When the download completes close the browser and any other open programs.
*Right* click WindowsUpdateAgent30-xXX.exe [the XX is for x86 or x64]
and choose 'Run as administrator'.

Did that get it installed ?

I installed AVG antivirus immediately after I installed Vista and update was
working fine until it stopped working a couple weeks ago. I did disable
antivirus, but update still wouldn't work.

I ended up reloading Vista. It only took about an hour. If MS ever posts
an answer on what exact this error means I'd like to see it.

Thanks for the information.
Did you install the latest WUA for x64 yet ?

Windows Update Agent 3.0 [x64 or 64 bit]
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x64.exe

Perhaps that will help mitigate future issues ?
