Solve : Windows update pains? |
|
Answer» How many different ways can Microsoft cause pain with the update FEATURES? I am trying to update a laptop and keep getting the same set of error messages, the FIRST comes up when I go to the Windows update page. It comes up whether I choose Express or Custom. "Files required to use Windows Update are no longer registered or installed on your computer. To continue: (*)Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended) () Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem." If I go with the recommendation I get 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied. I am an admin on the DOMAIN and have logged in that way on the laptop. I thought maybe it was the WIRELESS network and tried it with an ethernet cable, but got the same results. Then I got the idea to install SP3 from disk. All was going well, the files were extracting and then I got a small error box that said ACCESS DENIED. I installed IE8 from cd with no problem and the Windows update agent is already installed. I have rebooted, tried different admin accounts and still can not get this to update correctly. I had a similar problem but found that DISABLING Microsoft update and just using Windows update solved it. That did not work with this laptop. Any ideas to fix this would be GREATLY appreciated. ThanksIs it possible to manually download the updates from the Microsoft website and install them?Your a domain admin but are you a admin on the machine? |
