Update 2 : Patrick provided a very interesting tool to try:. When Googleing for answers I found out that many people had this problem and that it was not easy to fix. I tried it and TADA, it worked for me too! Check out his original post here: Vista Windows Update Failing. It should be located inside Control Panel. Just search for system restore once you have Control Panel open. I just read the comments cvbrown left… boy were those some of the stupidest things some ppl have said so I wanted to say thanks for all the suggestions.

Thank you Sue. This is the only option that worked for me. Painfully installing 19 updates individually. Easiest fix i found on two server systems with that error was to download the patch via the security bullentin link and install it manually.

Can anyone tell me if installing Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Upgrade will resolve this update issue? I took the plunge and did the Windows 7update and yes it cleared up the problem so far.

I think I have the error figured out, or at least on my machine. I wrote the update KB number down and searched through the installed updates and they had all previously been installed..

Most installed programs should work after you upgrade. And I should be able to live without a few updates for awhile before I get the Windows 7 discs back from my dad. Hi Krunk I tried 2 d. Your help would be very much appreciated. Have you tried restoring your system to a previous state? However, I was on vacation, camping, and the battery ran down while the pc was on standby.

So, when I went to login, I got a Login Failure message. I have also manually downloaded SP2, but continue to get the Failure message: Element not found. Am about to try it and sill report back whether it worked. Intente bajar los archivos e instalarlo manualmente pero aparecen con fecha de publicacion del Your email address will not be published. Don't know what happened but today after installing the 'patch tuesday' updates I get this error code.

So I googled it a bit and did the manual fix MS offers no way I will use the FixIt thing - last time I tried it messed everything up like crazy , but so far no luck. Already went back to an image, but it appears the flaw was there too still wondering how it found out about the current updates, but that's probably me missing something LOL and the other images are quite a bit older.

I don't really want to go there. Unless the Fixit solves the issue this is what MS says. The error you are receiving occurs if there is corruption in the Component Based Servicing manifest.

The only way to fix this is to do a "repair" install of Windows Vista. The "repair" in-place upgrade install will not effect your installed programs or data. Just make sure you are already logged into your computer when you start the install. Do not boot from the DVD. If the installation does not start automatically when you insert the DVD, run setup. Kate - did all that and got nowhere. Rick - Do a Windows Repair for what one of their own updates breakes? Just restored an image, or actually I made an image of my broken Windows, restored a perfect image of twee weeks ago, used Beyond Compare to find out what had changed since then had updated RED, made some changes in CCleaner etc.
