error 0x800704b8

Tried to install IPv6 using the command-line "ipv6 install" and it didn't
work... The error message shows, "Failed to complete the action. Error
0x800704b8"

Likewise, when I install it through the Windows Network properties, a dialog
with an error message, "An extended error has occurred".

Any idea of what is going wrong here, respectively any solution?

Thanks and Cheers

If you do not get further help from here, you may want to post this to

just found the following, which did solve the matter for me:

Just by chance found an tool to analyse and repair:

I asked some folks in the product team and here is the response, in case
anyone else runs into this:

This is technically not an IPv6 error; it is coming from the setup
subsystem. So the likely causes are that another network GUI is open...

Things to try:

Are they logged in as an administrator, do they have permissions to the
registry specifically HKLM\System\CCS\Services and
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\6to4 etc...

Run esentutl /g to check the integrity of the security database
%windir%\security\Database\secedit.sdb

I did follow Stewart's suggestion and had the following output:

- database is not up-to-date

Then ran the same command with on recovery option - esentutl /r
%windir%\security\Database\secedit.sdb and it turned out to have some
trouble, citing:

- Operation terminated with error -1003 (JET_errInvalidParamater, Invalid
API paramater)

Thus ran the tool again in repair mode - esentutl /p
%windir%\security\Database\secedit.sdb, which was a success shown by the
following intergrity check. Thereafter installed IPv6 via the command line.

Hmm...Nope no idea what's going on.

I've been having the same error but I haven't worked with regedit before, can someone simlify this for me?

It is all in command prompt. You don't need to use regedit. Basically all you need to do is hit the START button, click RUN and type CMD. Then paste this line: esentutl /p %windir%\security\Database\secedit.sdb and hit enter. That should fix it ;)

Anyway, thanks a ton to =?Utf-8?B?a20=?=. I got my problem solved :)
