Windows Update has stopped installing updates. Download is fine. My Vista installation is an upgrade from XP Pro. The problem is that 4 modules have failed to load (at least two are in Security Services). The four (gpkcsp.dll; initpki.dll; sccbase. dll; slbcsp.dll) are resident in XP; NOT in Vista. However, they are apparently necessary for Update to work. The threads I have found all tell me that these .dll's are not in Vista but don't tell me how to solve the problem that these missing files are causing IN Vista.
I have done/tried the following with limited or no (mostly no) success.
I have run 'sfc /scannow' from the command prompt and no integrity violations were found.
I have Restored to the earliest point allowed without correcting the problem.
I have gone to the 'windows.old' folder and found each .dll in system32.
I have tried twice to start Security Services but have been unable to do so.
I installed a batch file of all the .dll's affecting Security Services; that resulted in 1 of 25 uppdates installing; the remaining 24 failed to install in two further attempts after rebooting.
I have reinstalled the Vista upgrade over itself which wiped all previous settings and files and entitled me to an hour and a half talk with an extremely courteous and helpful Microsoft tech in India to reset the install key.
It seems to me that somehow I have to access the original XP Pro installation and install the four .dll's. How to do this I have no clue.
I would appreciate any help!
