Solved Windows 7 update and error code: 80070003

[NoelDP]

Hmmm - lets have a look here....

REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList"

here it is

I looked inside each section/key above from the System Registry:
1000 <-- it's me
1008 <-- User1
1009 <-- UpdatusUser
1010 <-- UpdatusUser
1014 <-- User2
1015 <-- UpdatusUser
1017 <-- UpdatusUser.pasqualino (pasqualino it's my PC old name, I renamed it as EVA)
1018 <-- UpdatusUser.pasqualino

Sorry, probably before I was confused, I've told you user1 and user2 ending with -1004 and -1008 strings, but now I see 1008 and 1014...

Thanks

 

[NoelDP]

It's all to easy to get confused in teh registry - which is why I like to use REG Query rather than attempting to point people through regedit


It looks as if the UpdatusUser accounts are all for nVidia software updaters! Have a look in your Programs&Features listing and see what nVidia programs you have installed.

 

[CodeVisio]

As developer I've always looked inside the registry!! eheheh.

Here they are:

- NVIDIA Graphics Driver 306.97
- NVIDIA PhysX System Software 9.12.0604
- NVIDIA Update 1.10.8

See you tomorrow, thanks a lot.

Mullitz - rather than barging into the middle of someone else's thread, please start your own, and include details of your problems.

 

[NoelDP]

As developer I've always looked inside the registry!! eheheh.

Here they are:

- NVIDIA Graphics Driver 306.97
- NVIDIA PhysX System Software 9.12.0604
- NVIDIA Update 1.10.8

See you tomorrow, thanks a lot.

From what I can make out, it's the Updater that creates the account. If you uninstall it, does the account disappear? If so - does the strange GUID also disappear from the catroot2 folder?

 

[CodeVisio]

Hi NoelDP,

when I saw your last reply I was in the middle of my experiment.
WindowsUpdate is unable to download (and not to install) the two KBs, so I had the "wonderful clever" idea to simulate a new update from Microsoft. Instead of waiting for the second week of December I uninstalled a successfully installed KB update (KB2763523), thinking that in this way after rebooting WindowsUpdate would have shown this new update.
Well, after uninstalled that KB I'm still waiting (about 2/3 hours) the reboot of Windows ,
it says "Preparing to configure Windows, do not turn off your computer"...

Do you suggest to wait or not?

Thanks! UPDATE: It worked! After sent my last post, the PC rebooted. I checked again WindowsUpdate and it shown me a new update (KB2763523) available together with office 2007 ones. I unchecked the office ones and checked the KB2763523: downloaded and installed successfully! Why did I do this? Because I wanted to know if the problem was in WindowUpdate program or concerned with the office 2007 available updates.

 

[CodeVisio]

I uninstalled only NVIDIA Update 1.10.8.

it's the Updater that creates the account. If you uninstall it, does the account disappear?

No. I executed the REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList" command again and I got the same result as before. All SIDs are still there.

If so - does the strange GUID also disappear from the catroot2 folder?

No, the GUID with all zeroes is still there, inside catroot and catroot2 folders. Thanks and sorry my late answer

 

[NoelDP]

Well done (It's something I should have thought of!)
So it's specific to these two files -
Do I remember you saying that you don't actually have Office installed at all - merely one of the Viewer apps?

If so, uninstall the viewer app, run the Office cleanup tool and then reinstall the app.
How to uninstall or remove Microsoft Office 2007 suites

 

[CodeVisio]

Yes, I've never installed Office packages except Word Viewer 2003.

From Program&Features list I see only these two items:
- Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office System.
- Microsoft Office Word Viewer 2003 (except some other office tools that come with Visual Studio)

I'm going to uninstall both...done.
I'm going to check updates from WindowsUpdate...done.
No more updates available, the two office 2007 KBs aren't shown anymore.
All SID are still there, and also the GUID with zeroes.

So, do I need to install again Word Viewer? It isn't strictly necessary for my work at least now.
About the GUID with zeroes?

(I don't know if this helps but in the past I've installed also Oracle VM VirtualBox and I've noticed it installed a new "virtual" network card, probably it installs also a new user account and so a SID...)

Thank you

UPDATE: are the SysInternal tools useful in our case?

 

[NoelDP]

I have VBox installed here also (with VMs for XP/Vista/Win7 32/64bit)

I'd say that it's definitely not necessary - and you'd be better off installing a later version than the 2003 one anyhow (I think there's a 2010 one - but I haven't looked - and there may be a 201s one by now)

 

[NoelDP]

... SystInternals tools are always useful - but I think your problem is probably now solved with the uninstall of the Viewer

Office 2003 is in Extended support - so only Security issues are being updated, and it could be that the Viewer was EOL'd earlier than the main app (I can't find it in the table at Select a Product for Lifecycle Information )

 

[CodeVisio]

Ok, no problem about Word Viewer.

Do you want to make additional tests about GUIDs and/or SIDs?

Thanks

 

[NoelDP]

I don't think it's necessary - unless you hit any problems with Windows updates or other parts of Windows.

I have enough other threads in progress to keep me busy

Thanks for bearing with me!, and good luck.

 

[CodeVisio]

Thank you for your great help!

 

[CodeVisio]

Hi NoelDP,

I've found a program that could help in those situations.

Here is the link:
All User Account Nfo

 

[NoelDP]

Interesting tool - I'm not sure I'd want to have to walk nayone through using it in a forum, but definitely useful on-site.
I may have a play with some of the other tools he seems to have created, as well.
Thanks for the link!
