First thing to try:
As many will tell you - ignore the title and symptoms listed in the article
referred to. Do method 1 and 2 and see if it fixes your issue whether or
not you repaired anything.
LINK
Try method 1 and try to update*.
If fails - try method 2 and try to update*.
*try to update:
- Visit LINK
- If it asks you to install anything before you see a selection of "Custom"
or "Express" - do so.
- Once you see the "Custom" or "Express" selection, choose "Custom".
- Scan for updates.
- When it lists what it finds - install the critical ones.
- You are generally safe doing the Optional Software Updates. I suggest
avoiding the Optional Hardware Updates completely.
Second thing to try:
LINK
Third thing to try:
Get Dial-a-Fix:
LINK
Use its options to fix:
- Windows Installer
- Windows Update
- All the Registration Center options.
Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".
Then click "GO" and wait until it is done... Reboot will be needed.
- Download/Install Windows Update v3.
LINK
(You *may* need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce"
right after the reboot - immediately after logging in.)
- Reboot.
- Visit LINK and scan for/install updates.
Usually - method one from the first suggestion fixes the issue.
Sometimes they have to proceed to method two from the first suggestion.
Less seldom - but it does happen - only the tool from the second suggestion
will work - although the first suggestion is contained within the second in
many ways (as well as some of the third.)
And the third suggestion is there because before there was a suggestion (1)
and a suggestion (2) - the third was the best bet and worked in most cases.
