Can't do Update

Hi everyone

and thanks for this forum, great stuff here.

Still I am unable to finde some help to my problem.

Here it is:
I have a wireless network and two laptops. one is packard bell and it is working fine and the other a toshiba. For both of them i use windows vista home premium x86 with SP1. for the packard bell is no problem in searching and installing windows updates. with the toshiba is a pain in the a.. . a few weeks ago I have noticed that there is un update regarding the WU agent that wont work. I tried but no luck. I managed to manually install WUA 3.0 but the result is even worst, as you can see in the picture. After a few weeks I decided to reinstall windows with the hope that everything will be allright. No luck. With a fresh windows vista, and only with the antivirus, eset nod32, i have the same problem. I do not know if this is related, but I can not access microsoft.com .
for those who are kinde enough to give me a hand I attached the windowsupdate log with all the errors inside it. is not a very big file, only 2 days of strugling.

thanks a lot

Very strange -it's look like due to damaged Windows Script but as a fresh instalation ...


1.Navigate to folder C:\Windows\WinSxS ->if in this folder exist files Pending.xml and Pending.grl - remove them.Check also what is in HKLM\Components -if aparts phrases:PublisherPolicyChangeTime,StoreArchitecture,StoreFormatVersion there are any other phrases ->remove them also.After all you have to restart computer.
2.Try re -register script for WU -I attache packed *.BAT file to do.Right click on it as a administrator + restart

Hello Flavius and thanks for your help.
This is the status: I found pending.grl in C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-mfgrl_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_572bff02e578ad46 . Should I delete it?

I run the bat file and found a lot of errors.
mshtml.dll > dllregisterserver not found
shdocvw.dll > dllregisterserver not found
browseui.dll > dllregisterserver not found
msjava.dll > specified module could not be found
msxml.dll >specified module could not be found
gpkcsp.dll > specified module could not be found
sccbase.dll > specified module could not be found
slbcsp.dll > specified module could not be found
msxml2.dll > specified module could not be found
wuaueng1.dll > specified module could not be found
wucltui.dll > specified module could not be found
wuweb.dll > specified module could not be found

I will attach the last windowsupdate log. I am sure you can read it better than I.

thanks a lot

make sure you have windows installer installed and up to date , Download the file that is appropriate for your operating system version and platform.

Ignore - You have right don't have these files.I got this fix from other forum -although it was described as fix for Vista it was designed for XP ( I see now).These files which returned error "could not be found" are only in XP,never in Vista.But due to nothing wrong happend - only returned empty errors.

EDIT
Try also register scrrun.dll module:
Run cmd.exe with administrative previlliges (right click on it as administrator if you use UAC) and type

regsvr32 scrrun.dll

I tried everything is written here. no luck. i managed to restore to a previous point, before the installation of WUA 3.0. Now the WUA display OK, but i get another error Windows Update error 80070643. the help files were not very helpful(i do not use office)

what is confusing me is the fact that the update agent was ok a few weeks ago. beside that, even with a fresh install (from recovery partition, with the original files the computer came with) the problem persist. I will try your suggestion and I will let you know.

thanks
