80070424 Solved. Now got Error 80070005

I fixed the missing Windows Modules Installer according to Flavius's instructions. Worked great with re-installing 'TrustedInstaller.exe' and everything is back to normal in the 'Services.msc' directory again.

However, now I am stuck with a '80070005' error code when trying to run Windows Updater.

I have already used Microsoft's 'Fix It' to reset Windows Update Components and to reset Security Settings to default settings. I have tried installing the 'subinacl.msi' and creating/running the 'reset.bat' file (apparantly this doesn't work on 64-bit systems). I even tried a Voodoo doll... Nothing works.

I also tried running 'sfc /scannow' and continue to get the 'Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service' error. I cannot do a Repair Install because I am using Vista Home Prem 64-bit SP2 and I do not have any Windows Install Disk.

Anybody got any suggestions?

This could be a Windows Defender error. You can try downloading the 64-bit def update from Microsoft and see if this helps.

How to manually download the latest definition updates for Windows Defender

Thank you very much for your reply.

I ran the updater but it didn't work.

As you already noticed subinacl is not for x64 -I don't know why so many moderators can't accept it as offered fixes are appriopriate for XP not for Vista -making succesfuly on Vista will be permission violations.Fortunately the owner of C:\Windows folder is TrustedInstaller so these reset.bat for XP or likely will never work even on x32 system.

Download Process Monitor Process Monitor

Run Process Monitor,next run Windows Update and try install something.When WU will return save log in Process Monitor in *.PML format,pack this file to .7zip or .RAR and upload on RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

FYI

There is tool for x64 (of course apart build-in icacls which is many time failed) is SetACL SetACL - Windows permission management -although this tool have trouble with services accounts for example TrustedInstaller...much to describe
But do not use this without my order
