error 80070424 windows could not search for new updates

amplid · Aug 24, 2009

Hey all,

I've been stuck with this problem for a while now, tried support pages on microsoft.com and googled a lot, but all the solutions that worked for other people never seem to work for me. Any ideas here? Someone with the same problem maybe?

Cheers,

Amplid

Could you go into event viewer (type event viewer in search) and see what errors exist relating to this problem?

This is the error related with bits service. Try registering the following files, Open elevated command prompt and type

regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll
regsvr32.exe wups.dll
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe MSXML3.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll

Hit enter after every line, you will get a message that the operation succeeded for every line.

net.exe start wuauserv and restart your computer.

If your problem not rectified after this post your windows update.log file.

You can find the file in c:\windows directory

Windows Modules Installer - start MANUAL
Windows Installer -start MANUAL

If your problem not rectified after this post your windows update.log file.

You can find the file in c:\windows directory

When inserting the wuaueng command and pressing enter I get:

"The module wuaueng.dll was loaded, but the call to DIIRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005."

When inserting wucltui command:

"The module wucltui.dll failed to load.

Make sure the binary is stored at specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files.

The specified module could not be found.
."

MSXML3 gives same error code as wuaueng

qmgr next:
"The module qmgr.dll was loaded but the entry-point DLLRegisterServer was not found.
Make sure that qmgr.dll is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again."

The others succeeded.

@zigzag, see the thread name for the error code.

@flavius, when I installed the BITS installer it said the repair was not required currently. Could you repeat what you said with the start AUTO and start MANUAL, I didn't really get it..

Thanks for quick replies so far

And Did you these under elevated cmd.exe? (this means right click on this file as admin) neverless How do I reset Windows Update components?
do this the same

Could you repeat what you said with the start AUTO and start MANUAL, I didn't really get it..

The better way will be if you download VistaSysInfoTool http://www.vistax64.com/software-tools/176785-vistaforums-sysinfo-tool.html

select all,make log and attache it to post

"The module wuaueng.dll was loaded, but the call to DIIRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005."

You will get this if you dont have permission to register a dll. did u run the command prompt as administrator?

When inserting wucltui command:

"The module wucltui.dll failed to load.

Make sure the binary is stored at specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files.

The specified module could not be found.

Leave this dll as its not so important. The dll file name is depend upon the verson of update agent you are having.

For all the other file you are getting permission error. Run the command prompt with administrator privilege

amplid · Aug 24, 2009

I repeated the progress in the command prompt as administrator and did not get that error 80070005 anymore. However WU will still not work. I ran the SysInfo tool and the log is in attachment.

You also don't have Windows Modules installer service,read this:http://www.vistax64.com/1093756-post16.html

amplid · Aug 24, 2009

Okay, so I am at the moment unpacking the install.wim with 7-zip.

Amplid

EDIT/ Flavius, where exactly in the install.wim file is the TrustedInstaller.exe located? Because there are 6 folders which each split into folders like Programdata, users, windows,...

Exactly like in normal system -in Windows\Servicing folder

amplid · Aug 24, 2009

When I try to put the trustedinstaller in the C:\Windows\Servicing\, it tells me I need permission to perform this action.. "Destination folder access denied"

Flavius · Aug 24, 2009

Take ownership this folder and give for Administrators group full control http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/157304-folder-permissions.html

amplid · Aug 24, 2009

When I try the steps in the tutorial, I see an account named "account unknown (S-1-5-80-956008885-3418522649-1831038044-1853". Is that normal??:s This account has full control and permissions, while my admin does not. The thing dzomlija states in his tutorial about that inheritable account, this I cannot check, nor uncheck, it is in light grey...

Amplid

EDIT\ I have also found an account I did not create in my user accounts (control panel), named "ASP.NET Machine account".. Can I delete this?:s Djee I'm starting to feel like a flippin' noob out here.

amplid · Aug 24, 2009

Never mind bout the asp.net..

Actually I will be installing new mobo, cpu and ram soon, so maybe to relieve you, i'll just hold up till without the updates until i get that clean install there..

delphin · Aug 24, 2009

You got a success message while registering those files?
just curious, Upload your windows update.log.

I told you have to first takeownership this folder :mad:

before you start change permissions (attached image) -you have to make yourself or Administrator group the owner of this folder.This is TrustedInstaller SID only because Windows Modules Installer you have damaged this SID is not recognized by system

EDIT\ I have also found an account I did not create in my user accounts (control panel), named "ASP.NET Machine account".. Can I delete this?:s Djee I'm starting to feel like a flippin' noob out here.

Don't touch it!

amplid · Aug 25, 2009
