Woah windows update?

I tried dial a fix. Nothing.

Was this an NLited installed using RyanVM update pack? (or any type of install with an update pack integrated)?

If so, doing the following has solved this problem in the past for me:

Go to the System32 folder and locate the following two folders: CatRoot and CatRoot2

Open the folders contained within and move all the files to a backup folder except those named "Timestamp" and "SP2.cat"

(I recommend moving the files to a different folder and not deleting them just in case they need to be restored).

Try to run Windows Update again.

It was not an NLite install.

I'm going to reinstall Microsoft Word and see what happens.

EDIT: Reinstalled, didn't get 7 updates got 3 and all worked.
