You could try this, to reset the Update-system to the state it was
before you ran the failed update.
- First, create a Restore Point. Just in case something goes wrong. One
should actually always do this before trying to repair the system by
deleting files etc. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of making
a restore point every time you make modifications for your system.
-Start->Run-> cleanmgr Select Temporary Internet Files and click OK
-Find a folder called "C:\Program Files\WindowsUpdate (It may be hidden,
so you have to make sure hidden folder/files are shown)
-Delete a folder called v4 (Remember that it is possibly hidden. The
goal is to delete v4-folder and a file called Iuhist.xml)
-Start search. Look for iuctl.dll and iuengine.dll. Remember to search
also from hidden folders and files
- IF you find them under C:\Windows\System32\Dllcache delete them first
- If they are found _anywhere outside_ C:\Windows\System32 delete them
- After that, delete them from C:\Windows\System32
- If the system asks for XP-installation disk, select Cancel
- If you are asked to answer if you want to _keep_ file versions that
are not recognized, answer YES.
-Go to Windows Update and install the new versions of those
ActiveX-components.
