Hi

Please try the following:

Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"net.exe stop wuauserv" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following commands:

regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll
regsvr32.exe wups.dll
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe MSXML3.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll
net.exe start wuauserv

Restart the machine and try again.

Thanks a lot Torgeir, it worked! Which is a lot more than I can say for what
Microsoft Online Assisted Support told me to do.

Hi, I am having the same problem and tried the same suggestion but still I am
having problems. After executing these lines, I go back and checked if
automatic program is displayed and enabled at services.msc. I can see it but
with the disable status. Tried to enable the program but I get a message
that says that it cant change the status for the program is marked for
deletion. Therefore I can't continue and can't run the windows update
program.

Any suggestion to this matter?

Hi

See if this helps:

Start regedit.exe and locate the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\wuauserv

If you find a DeleteFlag value there, delete the DeleteFlag value.
