After copying mirror image of my old C: drive everything works except windows
update. It gets to the site and then sez "done", without doing anything

I have recently installed SP2 and I am having the same problem. I have turned
off antivirus and input update page into trusted sites but still no joy.
Is it because the SP2 is the only update?

Farther down the list is another half dozen users with the same problem. I
don't think I installed SP2 but had a HD failure and had to use a new HD and
that may be related. One other user did the same thing. ?? Very frustrating,
with no help from MS either!

Mine has done the same thing after I reformatted my hard drive. It updated
it's version on windows automatic update and doesn't do anything anymore when
I visit the site.

I too began having this exact same problem, and I cannot find any information
anywhere to find out what is causing the problem.

regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll
regsvr32.exe wups.dll
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe MSXML3.dll
