Resolved Microsoft Updates Not Working, Windows Installer Not Starting

Ok I did the following but get error message that the parameter isn't correct: sc.exe sdset bits DA;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCS WLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU) sc.exe sdset wuauserv DA;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCS WLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)

 

Yes, I copied and pasted them. They are one entire command string. Right?

 

Error 87 Parameter is incorrect is the the message I get. I typed the commands in separately.

 

Hi Evan. Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat I get an error message that says: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. I did this successfully: Click Start< My Computer< double click on the C Drive and browse to C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution. Right click on the following folders: DataStore and Download. When you right click on each folder click on Rename. Add .bak to each of those folder names. They should read DataStore.bak and Download.bak. I was unsuccessful with these: No, they are two seperate commands that have to be entered in seperately. I got an error 87 Syntax error. I was unsuccessful with these: To do this, type the following commands at a command prompt. Press ENTER after you type each command.

■ Ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore *.bak
■ Ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download *.bak
■ Ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 *.bak. The fiename, directory, or volume label syntax is incorrect. I was successful with these:7. Reset Winsock. To do this, type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:

netsh reset winsock

8. If you are running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, you have to set the proxy settings. To do this, type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:

proxycfg.exe -d





The first command is:

sc.exe sdset bits DA;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCS WLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)

The second command is:

sc.exe sdset wuauserv DA;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCS WLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)

Do the same thing for the C:/Windows/system32/catroot2 folder. Rename it to catroot2.bak

 

I was successful with some of these: most of them said successful and some gave me errors. cd /d %windir%\system32

I re-started computer and tried to do an update again and was unsuccessful. I do remember seeing an error message that said: RPC Server is not available. Thanks Joe

 

I have 2 recovery disks but I am not sure if it is the same thing as the windows xp cd.

 

Where can I get a cd if I don't have one?

 

Evan will an XP pro cd work with my system that is running home edition? Also could win xp be loaded on my computer somewhere: etc... F12

 

I have borrowed a Windows XP Pro. My system is home edition. Does it make a difference?Any chance windows XP may be pre-loaded in F5 when I boot up? I was not given a CD when I purchased conputer. Thanks

 

Evan I was able to back up all of my files to an external hard drive. I then restored my computer back to its original state using my restorations disks.

 

Thank you Evan
