WindowsUpdate_80072f8f

snugthejoiner · 05-20-2008

I've just completed my first home built using Vista Ultimate 32bit. Initial updates including SP1 were all accomplished with no problems.

However, I have this 80072f8f error message now when I now try to get updates.

My computer's Date & Time are correct. I've also messed around with Internet Security settings, etc. as suggested by the online Help. But I still have the problem.

I'll keep working it; but any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Found this for you. Hope it will help. Let me know, please.

Error Code 0x80072F8F when searching for available updates on Windows Update and Microsoft Update sites

snugthejoiner · 05-22-2008

Thanks for the reply. Appreciated.

I tried these two procedures:

Click to clear the "Check for server certificate revocation" option
1.
Start Internet Explorer.
2.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3.
Click the Advance tab.
4.
Browse down to the Security section.
5.
Click to clear Check for server certificate revocation, and then click OK.
6.
Restart the computer.

Advanced user steps: Register Softpub.dll, Wintrust.dll, Initpki.dll, and Mssip32.dl
1.
Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 Softpub.dll, and then click OK.
2.
Repeat step 1 for the following files:

•

Wintrust.dll

•

Initpki.dll

•

Mssip32.dll

The first procedure was simple but did not resolve the problem - still could not update.

The second procedure ran nicely with regsvr32 Softpub.dll. However, when I ran regsvr32 Wintrust.dll I got another error window pop up:

"The module "Wintrust.dll" was loaded but the call to DIIRegisterServer failed with the error code 0x80070005."

Initpki.dll also failed; but Mssip32.dll ran okay.

As I said, I'll keep hunting. Thanks for the help.

System Restore back before the problem started?

snugthejoiner · 05-23-2008

No. I haven't used the System Restore process at any time.

Hello Snug,
dmex's is one of our moderators. His suggestion is usually right.
What you are doing is WAY beyond me. However I did find something that appears to be related. Also use the link to search around. You know what you're looking for.

You Receive a "DllRegisterServer" Error When You Try to Register a DLL by Using Regsvr32.exe

Also, I beleive that DMex was *asking* you to try to System Restore, not if you *had* performed a restore.

**sidney1st** · 05-24-2008

It looks like you did not try the first procedure which is to Check your date and time settings.

snugthejoiner · 05-24-2008

Sid ...

Actually, changing the time and date, and then synchronizing with the server was the first thing I did.

John ...

I will try the System Restore.

Thanks for the support.
