Error 0x80070002 When Trying Microsoft Update
Dec 18, 2008
A couple of days I did a stupid thing. Thinking it would free some diskspace I deleted "WindowsSoftwareDistribution" folder after rebooting I noticed that Windows update is not using Microsoft update service anymore, instead it reverted to Windows update service.
I clicked on the "Get updates for more software" link button, I was directed into Microsoft update website. unfortunately right after the "Review the license agreement" page I got the 0x80070002 error on Microsoft update, so I tried going to Windows update instead on IE but I also got an error there. When I tried checking for updates on My computer it worked like a charm (only Windows update not Microsoft update).
So I googled the error (since Microsoft website was no help at all) I found a couple of solutions Deleting the content of "WindowsSoftwareDistributionDataStore" then starting Windows update. And that was no help at all. I reverted the content of the folder "WindowsSoftwareDistribution" as it was before I started missing with it. And that was no help at all..............

I have Windows 7 Pro (through MSDNAA), and I'm trying to get Backup and Restore working. When I try to do a backup, I get "The system cannot find the file specified. Error code: 0x80070002". I tried doing CHKDSK on both the FROM drive and the TO drive. I tried changing what I wanted backed up (tried a completely different folder), and changed the drive I was backing up to. I ran SFC, and it found no integrity violations. I tried creating an asr.log file, but the file won't appear. I also took a look at my ProfileList, and that's fine. Those are all the ideas I've found around the internet and these forums. Would anyone have any other idea of what could be wrong, or how I could go about troubleshooting this?

I recently added some new hardware to my 6 month old computer (2x2 gigs of ram and a 1T hard drive). I had my computer off and unplugged, added the ram and hard drive, then plugged my computer back in. I started my computer and while Vista was loading I all of a sudden got a BSOD saying: Stop: C000021a {fatal system error} The initial session processor system terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000000 (0Xc0000001 0X00100490) The system has been shut down After a few more tries of starting it normally, I tried it once with safe mode and it stopped loaded at "crcdisk.sys" and after a bit it would BSOD to the same screen After starting it up again I selected the option to run the comouter with a previous setting that had a succesful boot, and it went to an error saying that the NLS data was missing or corrupt with an error saying "0Xc0000225"
After I went back to the screen where you have the option to start in safe mode or normal mode, and it said at the top that Windows had failed to load and that if it was due to a hardware change to put in the Vista CD and click on fix my computer, so I tried that. After it tried to fix itself it said that it couldnt automatically fix it. I tried doing a system restore to several differnt points which all didnt work because the system restore couldnt find the file "0X80070002" If anyone has a solution to help me I would be very grateful. I was thinking that I could try re-installing vista, but I dont want to lose all of my personal files, so could I just install vista on my other hard drive, look on my original hard drive, and from there move all of my personal files?

I am running Office Home and Student 2007 and have just run a diagnostic which suggests that my installation is not up to date and that I go to the Microsoft Update site and download any available updates. When I do, I am asked to sign on with 'Microsoft Update'. The idea is, I think, to combine this Microsoft Update with my Windows Update and let Office updates come though along with updates for Vista, IE, etc. I have posted here before with issues concerning updates including a fiasco I had last November which involved Office updates and am wondering, since Office seems to be working well at the moment (I was bored so I did a diagnostic ) should I bother with this or just leave it? Does Office have security issues like IE and Vista?

Microsoft Update was first released a few years ago for Windows XP and Server 2003 as a great way to update all of your Microsoft software installed on your PC. Not only would it update Windows, but it would also update Microsoft Office. Are you a Microsoft Outlook user? If so, Microsoft Update would even download updated junk mail signatures when they are released.
In Windows Vista the new Windows Update application is no longer web-based. Microsoft has built-in the old Microsoft Update functionality into the new interface but you need to turn it on before you can use it. Follow these steps to turn on updates for other Microsoft applications: ...

That is the message I get from the icon in my Vista tray. When I try to manually check for Windows Updates I get the message that I need to "first install an update for Windows Update". When I try to install that update for Windows Update, I get error code 80070643. There is a lot written about Windows Update error 80070643 having specifically to do with restarting the Office Source Engine for Microsoft Office 2003. HOWEVER, I do not have Microsoft Office 2003 installed on my system and this is not my issue! I am quite fearful at this point that I am vulnerable to all sorts of attacks considering that I haven't updated Vista for about 6 months now. This is not good.

I don't know if anyone else had a problem with the latest update from the wonderful people at Microsoft but I sure did. The system suddenly went into a loop trying to install the latest update then shut down at installing step 3 of 3 at 0%. Well I tried everything and then finally did a reinstall and NOT formatting the drive as to keep the windows.old files. Everything worked great and then the install happened again but this time it took with no problem. It may have been that at the same time cyberlink was having issues with playing a blue ray but I am not sure. I just thought I might mention the solution in case anyone else had the problem. Now everything is nearly back up and no problems so far.

I had issues last November with what I suspected was a problem with updates for Office 2007 from Microsoft Update. After a Factory Image reinstall and reloading all my software, everything was humming along nicely. Then I discovered that my Office wasn't up to date and went over to MS update to pick up the security updates. I got 20 updates including SP1 for Office.
I have been installing them a few at a time and the last batch included a security update for OneNote 2007 KB950130 and tw security updates for Office KB951944 and KB954326. When I went to restart, the SAME THING HAPPENED AS IN NOVEMBER. Exactly.
The computer rebooted fine till it got to the point where I sign in and then somewhere in between the welcome screen and the desktop loading, it froze solid. The little tone that sounds when the desktop loads went into a stutter and then slowly faded.............

Just ahead of the launch of Windows 7 comes Microsoft Security Essentials, their new free anti-virus package based on their award-winning ForeFront corporate security scanning engine. I wrote last night that this software is being released today and there was an interesting comment from Yatti420 who wrote. MS should just push MSE to all users.. I notice lots of clients comps coming in now with stuff AVG misses.. MSE is a Microsoft Product that just works well.. Link - Should Microsoft push MSE through Windows Update? | Windows 7 News

I cannot make a backup with Vista Home Premium 32bit. Whenever I try, I get this nondescriptive error: 0x80070002 and Vista claims it cannot find some file (But it doesn't say which one.) Also trying to adjust 'automatic backup' results in the same error. I cannot change anything in my backupsetting, I always get this error. So I cannot start a backup by hand, nor run automatic backup. This has been like this for months. My system has a RAID1 SATA array. I try to backup to an external USB drive (Lacie, formatted NTFS with enough diskspace). Is Vista backup broken beyond repair on my machine?

This security update (see below) kept reappearing on my task bar wanting to be installed and I kept installing it. I finally checked and I have it on the list of installed updates a dozen times--but it still keeps appearing on my task bar asking to be installed. It's like a spell gone wrong. How do I stop it and/or get rid of it? I don't even have works 8 on my computer. Thanks, Don.

My PC had been working fine until 10th Sept when I downloaded some new updates from Microsoft, at once the internet connection slowed to a trickle.
I contacted my ISP but after running some tests they said their signal strength was good and suggested I had a virus or a trojan. Cue outbreak of paranoia and much scanning with various programmes (which all had extreme trouble downloading their updates), after they all came up clean - apart from a few minor trackers - I posted a thread in the 'Network and Internet' forum and was advised to check the Events Viewer.
This showed a flurry (about 50 or so) Yellow Flags saying that the last updates may not have been applicable to my system, after some Google searching about these updates and the internet I narrowed it down to KB905866, but even after uninstalling the internet connection is still a trickle.
I tried uninstalling all the 10th Sept updates but that made the IE8 very unstable (sudden crashes and hanging), so put them back on just to get back to where I was.
I thought I'd set the PC to create Restore points but there were none, but one of the posts on another Forum about this update says it can wipe Restore points.
I was using ZoneAlarmExtreme when this started, but have now uninstalled it and am running Kaspersky 2010 and there are no conflicts of firewalls etc.

This message is to inform you that Microsoft will soon begin discontinuing newsgroups and transitioning users to Microsoft forums. Why? As you may know, newsgroups have existed for many years now; however, the traffic in the Microsoft newsgroups has been steadily decreasing for the past several years while customers and participants are increasingly finding solutions in the forums on Microsoft properties and third party sites. This move will unify the customer experience, centralize content, make it easier for active contributors to retain their influence, mitigate redundancies and make the content easier to find by customers and search engines through improved indexing. Additionally, forums offer a better user and spam management platform that will improve customer satisfaction by encouraging a healthy discussion in a clean community space. To this end, Microsoft will begin to progressively shift available resources to the forums technology and discontinue support for newsgroups.
In addition to offering a compelling online browser experience, for those users who prefer to use an NNTP (newsgroup) reader to participate in the newsgroups community, we have developed a solution called the NNTP Bridge which allows a user to connect a variety of supported NNTP readers to the forums they would like to participate in and continue having the NTTP reader functionality........

Effective August 1, 2009, Microsoft discontinued support for "Office Update" and the "Office Update Inventory Tool". Aside from security updates, in order to continue obtaining the latest updates for Microsoft Office products, use either Microsoft Update or Automatic Update. Read FAQ below -

This update keeps installing over and over It has now installed successfully 7 times and is shown as successful in the Update History list - 7 times!
I suppose I could uninstall VirtualPC since I have not been using it lately.
I should mention that it does not show up in the Control Panel | Progarams and Features Installed Updates list, though.
One other thing: VirtualPC is not supposed to work on Vista, but it does. In fact my son does development using it daily.

while back I had a Windows XP PC but it got dumb and crashed. So I just got my new Tower Which is Windows Vista-x64(Home Premium.) On my old machine I had a game I new and loved called Rayman 2 that isn't compatible to Vista. So my only option was to install it under Microsoft VPC 2007. It did Install but It wouldn't play. Here is the issue: I go To play the game and an error pops up that said I need to install DirectX 6.0 so I did. It didnt matter tho cuz I still had the error. So then I realized the error as telling me to configure the Graphics so It had another error when I Opened The "GXSetup."
Which was this: error1.jpg It Didn't Really matter because it still let me open the exe. But HERE IS WHERE THE REAL PROBLEM STARTED. The program successfully opened! But This is what it contained: MajorError.jpg My only thought was what the f*ck I am going to scream. Because from what it looks like Virtual PC Wasn't Detecting Much or anything at all to do with Graphics (the dropdown arrows contain absolutely nothing).

On a vaio Sony lapotop I checked for sp1 via windows update and there was none, so I went to the sony support site and looked under the updates for the particular laptop and it had a "prerequisite" download for sp1. So I thought ok once I install that everything will be ok and I will see SP1 on windows update, however I installed it and then got errors on windows update>> when I press get help I get this This is a pile of dung.. what credentials.. I am soley connected to my dsl modem, and I am administrator, and windows update was working before I did the update! So why was it broken now?
I then tried to do a system restore to the time before the update but the system restore kept failing! I tried 3 different dates...The update created a restore point before it was installed but it was not working!!! whats the point then? so now I cant update and I cant do a system restore...

when I go to the update, it asks me to check for an update after that it asks me to update windows vista update. when I go to download the windows vista update it errors me. I have had a read through the update logs, and the error code I am getting is : 0x800b0001. A quick google lead me to belive that this was a problem with cryptographic service provider: Error code when you try to use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates: "0x800B0001". anyway, I tried both of the fixes listed on the page and to no avail. When I tried the software fix, it proceeds to the update, but just pauses about 75% in. when I tried the registering .dll option, the .dll registered but the computer still does not update.

I get that damn 0xc0000034 error when trying to update to SP1. So what I want to do is do a full PC backup, reinstall Vista, then do a full PC restore. Now, will the PC restore overwrite my OS settings? Meaning, will it drop Vista to below SP1 status?

Club member's computer. Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit. When I first picked it up, no shortcut link to a program would work. I drilled down to the executible files; winword.exe, excel.exe, iexplore.exe and then double click. The error message went something like this: "This file does not have a program associated with it from performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associtation Control Panel." There was no way to "restore to a previous... No dice. With a start up disk, was able to solve that problem.
Disk Cleanup removed 2.45MB. Uninstalled Trend Micro (subscription had expired a year ago!) Installed and updated AVG 9 Free ran a complete scan - nothing. I installed Malwarebytes and it found one insignificant cookie. I went to Windows Update, the first update offered was Service Pack 1. It installed. I downloaded and attempted to install Service Pack 2. Error 0x8004100a with a link to a web page that offered several means of installing the service pack; Windows Update -- found a few insignificant updates, download the SP2 installation file which I had already done, so I did it again. No dice.
