Problems with Windows Update - SORTED
During the final shake-down of a "reconditioned as new" PC at the weekend, I was very frustrated to find that Windows Update refused to, er, Update Windows. I got no obvious error message; it would list the fixes, and then simply fail to install them.
As always, Google had the answer, Google is my friend. I dug around and found this: -

In essence, after installing Service Pack 3, there seems to be a problem with the module C:\Windows\System32\Wups2.dll.
It's necessary to re-associate this module with C:\Windows\System32\Regsvr32.
Once done, Windows Update runs without problems.
Now isn't it nice when stuff (almost) works.
