0x8007064c Error

[Guest]

I'm getting this error along with the message that the installation source is
not available when I try to update Windows Defender Beta 2. I tried running
Msiexec /x {A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C} but I receive the same
message. Any suggestions on how to fix the program so it will update?

Try going to WU/MU first to determine if this is a software updating issue
vs a Windows Defender bug...

http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate (and click on express or custom)

If you are able to find the update and install it there, but not though WD,
then you should file a bug =)

Umm - remember this is the public beta--what's the right process for "filing
a bug?"

Microsoft Update shows the definition update as being ready to install but
the file has a 0 kb size. It also shows up as being downloaded and
successfully installed twice today but in fact the program did not update.
Any further thoughts?

My eventual fix (It may work for you?) for error 0x8007064c. With the help
of these newsgroups and particularly Bill Sanderson I tried every fix and
combination of fixes given without success. I uninstalled/reinstalled
several times (later discovered not the way to do it). Reinstallations
immediately gave me popup error 0x8007064c (WD was unable to complete the
update:0x8007064c. The installation source etc.) - Using RUN Msiexec /x
{A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C} always resulted in error about CD
source not found etc.
With a FLASH of brilliance/desperation? remembering my (DOS PATH) days, -
when
I received this error I browsed to the WD Directory and picked up the
AS_Sigs.MSI file and OK'd it. I'm not exactly sure what happened next but I
followed the OK/Yes prompts (I also had automatic updates switched on) WD
repaired itself, the normal popup (checking for updates) appeared and
everything worked as normal.
Regards Frederick

While I couldn't get that solution to work I noticed that I had a directory
called Windows Installer Clean Up with a program in the directory called
msicuu.exe that I found at this link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/en-us I ran that program which gave
me a list of all this software on my machine including an item called Windows
Defender Definition File. I seleced just that file and ran the program. I
then selected the file AS_sigs.msi from the Defender folder and right clicked
it and chose Install. The computer ran for awhile. I then selected Windows
Defender on the Notification Bar and selected the Update option and it
started to run and next thing I know Windows Defender is up to date! Problem
solved.

That's a good fix, but it has some side effects that are not immediately
obvious, to do with Office updates.

My order of fixes is: 1) get current via Windows Update Express scan, if
you haven't already.
2) Use the workaround paragraph of KB 915105
3) if that fails with an error message, use the Installer Cleanup utility
exactly the way you did--remove just Windows Defender signatures.
(and, further, for really obstinate cases, try a repair install (start,
control panel, add or remove programs, windows defender, click here for
support info, repair--followed by attempting to plug the definitions in via
a manual download.)

Fortunately steps 1 and 2 take care of most people, with step 3 needed for a
few more, and the rest very seldom.

I notice that another antispyware product is presently getting some bad
publicity in relation to the security of their update process. I'm
reasonably sure that one of the reasons this one is "sticky," is that it is
very carefully planned in terms of security.

This sounds like a windows update installation issue. Can you check your
c:\windows\windowsupdate.log for clues?
