Update error 80070424

Let me tell you this problem was infuriating for me. Flavius you saved my sanity. In every thread I read you were in there helping out. It took me awhile and many different methods but I finally nailed it down.

I was missing the installer so I searched for it on my comp and found 3 different copies by going to c:\windows\winsxs and then searching for trustedinstaller.exe. I then copied the files to the desktop and placed the largest one first in the c:\windows\services folder. Then I did the registry fix that Flavius has recomended. It did not work but I did get a new error in windows update.

At this point I went back into the c:\windows\services menu and deleted the version of trustedinstaller that I had placed in there and tried another one. This one did the trick. Everything is now working as normal.

Again I can't say how much I appreciate your efforts Flavius. Bravo!

Thanks so much for your combined efforts. I tried everything to get this damn thing to work. It was heyzad's icing on the cake that fixed it for me.

Thanks again!!!!!

This problem made me really debate on getting a mac. Scary!
