Vista - Vista failure to update - Error: 0x80004002

Hey guys,

Im running Windows Vista Premium on my HP desktop that I just bought a month
ago, its 2.80ghz with 3gb RAM and I cant install updates. When I go to
"Windows Update" n try to install updates It says - "Error(s) found: Code
80004002." I have also tried to install KB936782 n KB929399 update packages
from Microsoft but I get the same problem: "Installer encountered an error:
0x80004002, No such interface supported" I am really stressed out, any help
would be appreciated.

thnx

You could try this:

Right-click Command Prompt (in Start Menu\Programs\Accessories) and choose
Run as Administrator. Type (or Copy and Paste) the following commands,
pressing Enter after each one:

regsvr32 wuapi.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

regsvr32 wups.dll

regsvr32 wups2.dll

regsvr32 wuwebv.dll

regsvr32 wucltux.dll

Close Command Prompt, and try Windows Update again.

I did try that mate but only the "regsvr32 wuapi.dll" works. The rest give me
an error saying: The module "wuaueng.dll" was loaded but the call to
DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005.

The error value ‘0x80070005’ means ‘Access Denied’. Did you right-click
Command Prompt (in Start Menu\Programs\Accessories) and choose Run as
Administrator? (Don't use Run).

Yes I am the Administrator.

That's not the same thing as right-clicking and choosing "Run as
Administrator".

Yes I did right click and chose "Run as Administrator" and the files dean
described did work but still the Windows Update is giving me the same error.

Have you tried the updates one at a time? That is, try un-checking all of
them except one and see if it installs; then try the next, and so on (to see
if one is blocking the others)...

If this works, which update(s) remain with the error code?
