KB2719857 and KB2732487 won't install, keep reverting
I am running Win7 professional 64 bit, with MSE antivirus. For the past few days my computer has been nagging me to install some "important updates" but then fails and reverts. They are
KB2719857 (error 0x800f0826)
and
KB2732487 (error 0x80071a90).
I have tried I think all the usual suspects:
- I've used the Fixit to reset windows update, which it says is fixed. Update then represents, I update, reboot and during configuration the update reverts.
- I have tried clean booting and installing. No joy. Still reverts on rebooting.
- I have tried manually installing. I get an error message "The update is not applicable to your computer" for one of the updates.
- I tried a fix using subinacl to reset admin rights (error 0x800f0826 seems to have something to do with admin rights, though I am always in adminstrator account when doing the updates) but that didn't work.
- I've tried deleting and recreating the SoftwareDistribution folder.
- I've used the batch file on these fora for resetting Windows update.
This thing is really annoying, since Windows is constantly nagging me to install, tries to auto install and shuts down my computer if I leave it for a few hours, only to find it's rebooted and failed to install.
Is there anything I can do, short of reinstalling Windows, to fix this problem?
