You would think MS would resolve this problem with MS Updates

Like many others here posting their issues with MS Updates I too have many
problems with MS Updates. Windows updates works fine but as soon as you
upgrade to MS Updates you can never get it to work consistently. you would
think that with all the posts going on in here with others having the same
issues that Microsoft would have posted fixes and updates for this. But if
you can't update how are you going to get that update? Well here is my
problem. Like I said as soon as I upgrade to MS Updates I have problems. I
get many different error codes. the favorite one is 0x8DDD0009. I found that
if you remove the Windows Installer 3.1, reboot and reload the Windows
Installer 3.1 that sometimes it will work but then other times it will not.
I'm going to browse this NG for past posts but if anyone recognizes this
error code and has a solution to post please do so. Thanks to all.

None of that work?

I suggest doing the following - perhaps in safe mode if it gives you trouble
in normal mode (do normal first) - and seeing if it fixes whatever problem
you have...

I'm going to give you a response that should cover most bases. It is not
mine - but it may do the trick for you...
(It covers a lot of bases.)

Reboot your computer and have nothing open before you start the steps....
Just log in and follow them, then when it has you rebooting - first thing
you should try is visiting http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and seeing
what happens (in Internet Explorer.) Please come back and report!

MS is aware of the problems some (but certainly not all) encounter when
using Microsoft Update as the default. Until it's fixed, change your
default back to Windows Update, and get updates of MS Office via Office
Update.

Go to Microsoft Update > Click on Change Settings in left pane > Scroll to
bottom of page > To Stop Using Microsoft Update > Disable Microsoft Update
software and let me use Windows Update only (check).

Shenan,

I wrote that your hard work was NOT helpful because you did not
provide a notion, at least, of what you are doing in Register 32. Let's
say you are the brightest light at Microsoft but we still need to know
what we are doing on OUR machines and the next step if it fails!.

Thank you.

First off... This is a VOLUNTEER newsgroup.
I am not affiliated with Microsoft.
I do not work for them or have any obligations to them or anyone I answer
beyond my desire to assist.

Second - I noted quite clearly the post was *not* mine - but one that I
located and reposted - I even gave proper credit to the original author.

Third - while I do not mind HELPING others - I would expect that one would
not follow advice they do not attempt to understand. What that means to me
is that the one reading it *should* take the time to see what the advice I
am giving them does and *if* it has been given before and *if* it helped
others in the past, etc. I assume those posting here have some incentive to
learn - or why ask the question? They could just pay someone else to fix it
for them.

Fourth - my first suggestion was a link to the proper search string -
utilizing Google Groups and the OPs own words - that would show them MANY
posts similar to theirs - some with solutions.

Fifth - I'll throw you a pointer to assist you on your own research on the
subject...

Usage: regsvr32 [/u] [/s] [/n] [/i[:cmdline]] dllname

/u - Unregister server
/s - Silent; display no message boxes
/i - Call DllInstall passing it an optional [cmdline]; when used with /u
calls dll uninstall
/n - do not call DllRegisterServer; this option must be used with /i


http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%2...2007&safe=off&


Each one of those regsrvr32 lines re-registers a DLL that should already be
registered (but may have become unregistered for many reasons) on your
system. The script also stops the Automatic Updates services and
renames/removes directories associated with it - so it will be recreated
when the script starts the service(s) again. That way if there was any
corruption in its directory structure - it will not be there when done.

Otherwise - http://www.google.com/ is a fine place to start and research up
on what the DLLs listed do.
Maybe here?
http://www.liutilities.com/products/...ro/dlllibrary/


Last - Seeing that you still utilize the Web Interface for these
newsgroups... might I suggest using a better, feature-filled application
such as a true newsreader? Even using Outlook Express would make it easier
for you to search/utilize these newsgroups than the much-agreed upon poor
Web Interface...

Example:
Setting up Outlook Express Newsreader for MSNews:

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Hi Bill,
I am well aware of how these NG's work and that all information given is to
be used or taken with "no guarantees". Like Shenan wrote this is a volunteer
NG and any posts by others offering their assistance should be used at the
poster's own discrection. What Shenen provided is very useful and much
appreciated. I did google the codes and pretty much came up with the same
feedback. So Shenen I do thank you. If you are not aware or do not have the
experience or knowledge to know what you are asking and what others are
suggesting then I suggest you use MS Support and pay for the support call.
That way it is guaranteed and they will work with you until the issues or
problems are resolved.
thanjks to all for their comments and suggestions and thanks to PA Bear to
posting how to go back to Windows Updates. I've always wondered how I could
do that if needed.
