Specs:

Windows XP Home

Cable Modem
IE 8.0

I have been unable to install any updates to MS Windows since December 10,
2009. I get the following error message Error Code: 0x80070643 - Cannot
Install Updates

The code description I get are as follows and I have tried the following
websites to try and resolve the issue. I have also uninstalled Norton, Google
Chrome, rebooted dozens of times and nothing works.

I was on an onlince chat with MS and they wanted $50 to try and fix the
issue. I said no but they did tell me that the error code I got basically
means I would have to replace my hard drive.

If anyone who has any suggestions or resolutions please let me know

Here are the links, messages, etc. that I have used and received:

Security Update for Microsoft Office 2003 (KB975051)
A security vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office 2003 that could enable
arbitrary code to run when a maliciously modified file is opened. This
security update resolves that vulnerability. Get help and support

Oh yeah, a few more items I forgot to add:

According to the MS Knowledge Base I am supposed to have the Windows
Installer log extension on my computer. I do not

It is supposed to start with msi and end with .log. I went to Start - Run
and entered %temp% and went to the required folder. This information is not
there.

I also tried to manually start the Installer and got the following error
message:

C:\Windows\System32\mmcndmgr.dll/views.htm


Lastly,

I tried the MS Removal Tool, no luck

Two last error messages that I wanted to pass along to you; they probably
are nothing but you never know

I do recall uninstalling a contact management program call ACT! back in
December, probably around the time I started getting the error messages.
Since then, each time I start MS Outlook I get the following error messages
that I must click OK before Outlook actually opens. Mind you, it opens and
works great except for this ritual that I need to go through each time I open
it. These are the messages exactly I get them:

C:\Windows\Systems32\ACT9ext.dll could not be installed or loaded. These
issues may be resolved by clicking the Detect and Repair link in Outlook

C:\PgmFiles\Act\Act for Windows\Redemption.dll could not be installed or
loaded. These issues may be resolved by clicking the Detect and Repair link
in Outlook

Peace,

Ben

Support for Security update installation is supposed to be *no-charge*,

I doubt you would be able to find anything that way.
Try using a cmd window instead. I'm not even sure that you would
necessarily find it in %temp% so I would start the search from the
root:

cd \
dir/a/s msi*.log

If that doesn't find what you're looking for you might need to do that
search while a message window is still open. E.g. before clicking Ok
on the message window which tells you it failed, switch to a cmd window
and enter the above two commands.

It will also help if you do the install manually instead of just rely on WU
or AU to start it for you. Doing that would allow you to customize the
diagnostics.


Good luck

I have a different set of KB articles but get the same result.

KB907417
KB977840
MS Office 2003 SP3
The cleanup tool has no effect.
I didn't uninstall anything, these started playing silly games about 5 days
ago. At first my wife's XP Pro SP3 gave the problem and then cleaned itself
up after a vbout 3 days. My w7 64 Ultimate just doesn't play ball. Attempts
to install at every shutdown.
