Hi
I get the following error on Windows XP x64 Professional when I try to do a
Microsoft update. I tried to run Microsoft update by right clicking on the
update program. Here I selected 'Run as', and unchecked 'Run this program
with restricted access.
-Start-
Administrators Only
To install items from Windows Update, you must be logged on as an
administrator or a member of the Administrators group. If your computer is
connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from
completing this procedure.
Note If you are running a Windows 2000 (except DataCenter), Windows XP, or
Windows Server 2003 operating system, you can run the local administrator
account on your computer without having to log off and then log on again.
To run as the local administrator in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003:
Click Start, and then click All Programs (or right-click Windows Update if
it is available).
Right-click Windows Update.
Click Run as on the menu that appears.
Do one of the following:
Enter the password for the administrator.
Enter the user name, domain name, and password of a different user account
that has administrative permissions on this computer.
To run as the local administrator in Windows 2000:
Click Start, right-click Windows Update, and then click Run As on the menu
that appears.
Do one of the following:
Enter the password for the administrator.
Enter the user name, domain name, and password of a different user account
that has administrative permissions on this computer.
If the option to run as the local administrator is not available:
Click Start, right-click Windows Update, and then click Properties.
Click the Shortcut tab, and then select the Run as different user check box.
-End-
I tried the following; still the error persists!
-Start-
1. Click "Start," and then click "Run."
2. In the Open box, type regedit and then click "OK."
3. Locate and select the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate
4. click "Edit," and then click "Permissions."
5. Click "Add," and then type "Everyone" in the
dialog box that appears.
6. Click "Check Names," and then click "OK."
7. Select "Everyone" in the "Group or user names" list.
8. Under Permissions for "Everyone," select the "Full Control" check box
in the "Allow" column. Note that the "Read" check box in the "Allow"
column is now also selected.
9. Select each user, in turn, in the "Group or user names" list, and then
verify
that no check boxes are selected in the "Deny" column. Clear any check
boxes that are selected in the "Deny" column.
10. Click "Advanced," and then select the "Replace permission entries on all
child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects" check box,
and then click "OK."
11. Click "Yes" if you are prompted for confirmation.
-End-
I tried to run the update with firewall disabled. But still the error stays!
Help is appreciated very much!
