Windows Update crashes

esent.dll is corrupted (checksum error). Can't find a way to
uninstall/reinstall Windows Update. I have a backup from original install,
but its much older than the corrupt esent.dll.

Can I tweak a registry entry to trick Windows update into updating itself?

When Windows Automatic Updates tries to download updates on a Windows Server
2003-based or Windows XP-based computer, an access violation error may occur
