[Error] - #0X80072FD

[Seal8]

Trying to update latest security patch. Go to Start>Windows Update.

It starts and goes through its search and then this message comes on:

Website has encountered a problem and can not display the page you are trying to view.

Error # 0X80072FD.

I've been to the Windows Support/knowledge Base site and can't find anything on this

error# 0X80072FD.

Anyone have a solution to updating the last security patch? Thx

Try the following command from a command prompt, and see what happens:

regsvr32 softpub.dll wintrust.dll initpki.dll dssenh.dll rsaenh.dll gpkcsp.dll sccbase.dll slbcsp.dll cryptdlg.dll

What does that rather complicated command do?

Reregisters all of those DLLs. Occassionally, and very rarely, they can become unregistered for one reason or another.

I had an issue with IE6 a while back where I couldn't get anything to open in a new window. Reregistering a few DLLs fixed the issue.

[cluberti]

The error indicates a security trust issue - it's either those .dll's or a group policy software restriction policy. Since most people don't run an AD at home or muck with the local security policies, it's likely an unregistered security .dll. The command should rectify that.

i cannot reregister these two dlls

sccbase.dll slbcsp.dll

You could try expanding these 2 files (sccbase.dll slbcsp.dll) from the installation CD. You will find them as sccbase.dl_ and slbcsp.dl_.
