Hi,

I cannot get Windows Update to work. I get the following message: Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or installed on your computer. I have tried the Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended) that Windows Update gives you but that didn't work. I did a search and found this:

1. Click Start.

2. Choose Run.

3. Type or use cut & past to enter each of the following in the Run Box.

(enter them one at a time & pressing OK after each one)

net stop wuauserv

regsvr32 wuapi.dll

regsvr32 wups.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

regsvr32 wucltui.dll

regsvr32 wuweb.dll

regsvr32 MSXML.dll

regsvr32 MSXML2.dll

regsvr32 MSXML3.dll

regsvr32 qmgr.dll

regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

regsvr32 jscript.dll

net start wuauserv

This did not solve my problem. I also read on the internet that the MSXML3.dll file could become corrupted. I deleted that and downloaded the file from Microsoft but I still can't update. I tried this SFC /SCANNOW. I also tried this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916248/en-us

They did not help me. Any ideas?

Severach,

Thanks for your suggestion but it did not work.

You Can try this free utility Dial-a-fix

Consider installing 927891 and 932494, and rebooting. That may solve it as well, as that installs the new Windows Update binaries (and fixes some of the CPU issues as well).

Thanks to everyone for your help. What solved my problem was forcing the instal of the Windows Update Agent (WUA) using the /wuforce switch. Thanks to all for your suggestions again.
