Windows Update Files Error??

All of a sudden I have recently got the following Error on Windows Update:
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

After selecting the Recommended option, then i get another error, an IE
explorer box appears and says that "IE encountered a problem and needs to
close" I hate those messages. These Errors have only happened since
yesterday. I didn't have these problems before. Any help on this issue will
be greatly appreciated.

I'm also hitting this bug....
Is there anyone in this forum that knows how to fix this.

Hi,

Some have posted that registering MSXML3.DLL fixed this problem.

Register MSXML3.DLL and see if it helps:

1. Click Start.

2. Choose Run.

3. In the Run box, type (or copy/paste from this post)

%windir%\system32\regsvr32.exe %windir%\system32\MSXML3.DLL

(note the space there in the middle)

4. Click OK.
