Windows update keep saying files require to update are no longer..

Files required to use Windows Update are no
longer registered or installed on your computer. To continue:

1) Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended)
2) Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem

These are the 2 options if i chose one it download the files and register
but it still doesnt work and the same error message appear just like a loop
keeps repeating itself.

Second option just doesnt help at all.... No details given no error msg was
shown etc...

Please help someone as Windows Update are crucial and if i bring back to my
manufacturer they just ask me for permisson to reformat.... and telephone
support sucks...

Sincerely,
Andrew

Hi, Andrew;

First, Restart the computer. It may be that some of the files needed
were not registered pending a Restart. Give WU another try after the
Restart.

If that doesn't work, manually download and install these items:

New WinHTTP and BITS update:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

New MS Installer:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

MS scripting support files:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

After the final Restart, return to the Windows Update site. Does it
function now?

If you still encounter the same problem, do the following:

On the Start/Run line enter: "net stop wuauserv"

In the .\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder delete everything EXCEPT
for the EventCache folder.

On the Start/Run line enter "services.msc" and when the list comes up
check that these three items are all set to Automatic (if not, change
them):
Automatic Updates
BITS
Event Log

Close the Services list; Restart your computer. Now go to this site and
click the button to begin the install of
the MU components:

I have the exact same problem. I tried what you posted, but the problem still
exists.

Get the same message:

" Files required to use Windows Update are no
longer registered or installed on your computer. To continue:

1) Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended)
2) Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem"

I chose 2 above and followed the steps (like I've done before) and they
still don't help.

Help?

I'm getting this problem too...as is another computer I'm working on in my
office. Strangely, other computers in the office seem to have no problem
whatsoever. I tried Sky King's advice, but I'm still getting the same thing.

Hi people i have solved my problem yesterday and since ur having the same
problem i wou
ld like to help but im unable to recall where i did it i only remember u can
try looking in the log file for the error by opening a new window and type in
this
%windir%\windowsupdate.log

then search for that error. I did 2 steps one is a regeditE something
something and another one is to open a dos window using cmd and there are a
few commands to enter. After each try close all windows and try again. Hope
your be able to find it. I also manage to solve by luck.... The manufacturers
really should wake up their idea man...

I was having the same problem trying to update a PC with W2000. After I tried
Sky Kings suggestions, restarted, and failed again, I tried other upgrades.
I was able to upgrate to IE6, and then when I restarted, and tried the W2000
upgrade again it worked.
