Solved 80080005 error on update KB2419640.

[Anak]

Hi! Everyone,
I'm not sure if I have a problem or not, and I need your valued opinions.

This morning I had five updates, four from patch Tuesday, and one MSE. for a total of 26.6MB.

I accepted all five, and told Win Update to go ahead and install them all. There were some that needed a restart and at the end of the update I was asked to restart my machine which I did.

Update came back and said that one failed (KB2419640) because of an 80080005 error. The troubleshooter offered suggestions on how to fix this, and one of them was to restart my machine which I did again, and it still came back that it failed.

I then went to KB2419640's download page, downloaded the file, proceeded to install it when it came back and said it wasn't going to because it was already installed....At that point I became .

I went back to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update\View update history, and this is what I saw. See attachment.

So...Do I have a problem or is it something not to worry about?

Maybe try the registry mod suggested here?

You may receive an "Error code 80080005 -- server execution failed." error message when you start many COM+ applications

I only have two user accounts on this machine with only one running at a time.

Anak,

My ISP was down last night so I did the updates this evening, I'm not sure this will help but here is what happened to me.

On My desk top I did as you and accepted all 5 updates I had the same code and failure, my course was to "try again" so I let the PC load the action center (after re-boot) and when updates were checked again it showed the failed update, it loaded and succesfully installed.

I then went to my wifes lap-top and on it I diden't select the "non-esstioal" update (the one unchecked) the four went in fine and when windows checked again after update it advised of teh remaining update, I checked it and it loaded without error

Point being if you simply run Windows update will it load KB2419640 and complete rather than downloading it from microsoft?

all the best -- Bill

I did all 5 updates on my 64 bit system and had the one fail also and then got it to install and when the compute started was on a black desktop and on a default user account not able to get to my regular user account Any one else have this problem tried system restore and registry restore to no avail still boots to the black temp default user account.

That's how it showed on my machine, with the one unchecked, with your success that's what I'm going to do from now on..

And many happy returns to you and yours....Steve

I think a lot of people are getting a failure on that update including myself. The solution for me was to allow the reboot before the failed update was attempted again. it went through cleanly on its own.

Control Panel> Windows Update> View Update History.
For those who don't know.

Then in the left picture below click circled in yellow Installed Updates.

Picture on right find the update and highlight. Then click "Uninstall" at top of list just to the left of "Organize."

Re download and install update.
Best would be direct from MS.
It should work with old one deleted.

I seem to remember in the days of 3.1, 95, 98, and maybe even XP. Updates would warn a user to install certain updates separately because of the chance of a conflict when they were implemented after a reboot.

Maybe that is why the box was unchecked even though it was an "important" update...sigh...

Hi! Hoppy, great to hear from you again!
We had an advertising slogan at the newspaper where I retired from..."Now you know"!...

Your solution is a lot more elegant than what I went through. Thanks for the tip!

Yes. I think they expect most people to use the automatic install option, in which case it would probably have gone through OK.

I did one at a time. I just had a feeling not to try even two.

Hello!

Apologies for the late reply. I have been taking a mini break Anyway, I actually believe that this issue is now resolved. Your update history shows a success, and the standalone thinks it has been installed. I think this is all that really needs to be said. If you are not happy, tell me, and I will check the logs files (not WindowsUpdate.log!)

However, I may as well explain the error message while I am here.

We are looking for an error lookup from winerror.h. This one is easy, because it only derives from winerror.h:

C:\Users\Richard>err 80080005
# for hex 0x80080005 / decimal -2146959355 :
  CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE                                      winerror.h
# Server execution failed
# 1 matches found for "80080005"

C:\Users\Richard>

This error code is usually caused by stress, and therefore sporadic. There must have been something in this update which stressed COM. You can read more about this error here: When CoCreateInstance returns 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE) - Antimail - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

Maybe try the registry mod suggested here?

You may receive an "Error code 80080005 -- server execution failed." error message when you start many COM+ applications

I don't think that it is worth trying such an invasive solution for something which I believe is already installed. However, let me explain what it does. All it really does is set the Desktop heap. On a computer such as yours, it will likely limit the heap. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I would imagine that this is already in place on your computer anyway. Desktop heap is stored next to page file for a good reason, they are quite similar. You can read more about this whole key here: Windows and the ClearCase process limit: Understanding the desktop heap

If you want me to see how installed it actually is, copy C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log to your Desktop, right click on it > Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder, and upload that zip file here.

I hope I have managed to contribute something, even in my lateness!

No apologies needed Richard, even the good Lord needed a break.

With all the trust we put into these machines if it says the update was successful I'm happy, but it doesn't hurt to be sure.

I checked my Registry Key against what was listed on that KB article, and the settings were different, but I'm not going to worry about it.:

My Registry value:
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows

SharedSection=1024,20480,768 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows

ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3

ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ServerDll=sxssrv,4

ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16

MS Supports value:
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows

SharedSection=1024,3072 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1

ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3

MaxRequestThreads=16

Here is the file when you get a chance, and yes you have contributed greatly as I will be reading those links you provided on the inner workings of the Windows OS.

Thanks Richard,

Steve

This is where I found the file C:\Windows\Logs\CBS, but it wasn't CBS.log, just CBS

 

[niemiro]

Hello!

Thanks for your understanding Your registry key looks good. A 20gb page file! Not an issue though, at all. CBS looks good to me. I think that update is installed. I couldn't find the error though. That was strange. It seems to be installed though, so I think we can basically call this solved now.

Ask me anything you like, any questions

KB2419640 failed install causing windows update reboot

Hi I have 66 machines that have failed the install and 58 that did install. hat I am having issues with is 3 machines that have the windows updates popup wanting to restart the machine every 10 minutes. I have tried quite a few fixes and none of them are working I still get this popup message.
these are some of the steps I tried.

Manual Install of patch

 

[Anak]

Hi! mdart, welcome to 7F

If you really want to stop The pop-up try this:
Open your elevated CMD prompt.
Type sc stop wuauserv
Hit enter.

To reverse type sc start wuauserv

But be warned! If you do this you will have to remember to do the restarts or else windows will not update again.

If you want to get a better response to your query you need to post a new thread here in the "Windows Updates & Activation" forum.

And be sure to post the .CBS log's from the three machines that you are having the problem with. :

copy C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log to your Desktop, right click on it > Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder, and upload that zip file.

Even though we had the same problem, the solution will be particular to your situation.

I would suggest that you could even copy the post you made here into your new thread, and explain that you are posting the three machines logs, i.e. CBS.zip1, CBS.zip2, CBS.zip3

You may use this thread as a reference, this is the link to here:

Hi Anak thanks for the response by the time I got back to run your command the problem had been fixed, so between running the other fixes posted and being patient the problem is resolved on one machine. Now I just need to replicate this on the others
Thanks

 

[Anak]

Your welcome. If you could only know what resolved your error on that one machine...sigh...Have you tried looking in your event logs?

As for replicating the error there is a way at this link:
