Problems with windows update
Guys,
Just getting started with Windows 7 and downloaded the RC 64bit build 7100 from microsofts website last week.
Trouble is, I cannot seem to access windows update, it returns an error code.
I tried a complete fresh install in case the first install was a problem (wiped the drive and refomated) - there is nothing else on there installed, no drivers - nothing - just standard windows package
First thing after I loaded windows was I tried to get the "live essentials" - click the download button - after a few moments of trying to get the wlsetup-web installer - I get "internet explorer cannot display the webpage".
I go back and do a double try again which activates the wlsetup-all installer - same problem
I try with my laptop using XP SP3 and IE 8 running through the same connection and within 4 seconds of clicking the download button, I get the window asking me to run or save the web installer - so it isn't the ISP or internet connection.
Try to update windows via control panel and after about 3 or 4 minutes it returns "windows could not search for new updates" error code 8024402F
Recent check for updates - never.
Here is the section in the WindowsUpdate log file in the windows directory: Apologies for the length
A few people have told me that there is a dns problem, but I can access all websites?Code:2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 900 9f0 Misc =========== Logging initialized (build: 7.3.7100.0, tz: +0800) =========== 2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 900 9f0 Misc = Process: c:\program files\windows defender\MpCmdRun.exe 2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 900 9f0 Misc = Module: C:\Windows\system32\wuapi.dll 2009-08-07 19:42:10:182 900 9f0 COMAPI ------------- 2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 900 9f0 COMAPI -- START -- COMAPI: Search [ClientId = Windows Defender] 2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 900 9f0 COMAPI --------- 2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 980 994 Agent ************* 2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 980 994 Agent ** START ** Agent: Finding updates [CallerId = Windows Defender] 2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 980 994 Agent ********* 2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 980 994 Agent * Online = Yes; Ignore download priority = No 2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 900 9f0 COMAPI <<-- SUBMITTED -- COMAPI: Search [ClientId = Windows Defender] 2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 980 994 Agent * Criteria = "(IsInstalled = 0 and IsHidden = 0 and CategoryIDs contains '8c3fcc84-7410-4a95-8b89-a166a0190486' and CategoryIDs contains 'e0789628-ce08-4437-be74-2495b842f43b')" 2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 980 994 Agent * ServiceID = {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} Third party service 2009-08-07 19:42:10:198 980 994 Agent * Search Scope = {Machine} 2009-08-07 19:42:10:354 980 994 Misc Validating signature for C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\WuRedir_prerelease\9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77\win7wuredir.cab: 2009-08-07 19:42:10:354 980 994 Misc Microsoft signed: Yes 2009-08-07 19:42:35:932 980 994 Misc WARNING: Send failed with hr = 80072ee7. 2009-08-07 19:42:35:932 980 994 Misc WARNING: SendRequest failed with hr = 80072ee7.
