    Describe exactly which one scenario do you have?Is going on about TrustedInstaller?

    If yes prepare log from VistaSysInfoTool

    and question:

    Do you have TrustedInstaller.exe file in C:\Windows\Servicing folder?

    Many people I don't know mistake two files TrustedInstaller.exe and TrustedInstaller.reg -you need both files to fix

    TrustedInstaller.exe - system process file
    TrustedInstaller.reg -fix to registry to restore Windows Modules Installer in services list

    I don't give you universal solution because it isn't.There are three different options of this error and if you want to help you I must know which ones services exist,working or not -thus I need log from VistaSysInfoTool
    Read example these threads:
    1)
    Error Code 80070424 when applying Window's Update, and installing Apple Application Support
    2)
    "Windows could not search for updates code 80070424"
