Re: Windows Update fails with no error



The relevant newsgroups which might help are

microsoft.public.windowsupdate
previously
microsoft.public.win2000.windows_update
and for SUS
microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs
and WSUS
microsoft.public.windows.server.update_service

Otherwise, have you tried pulling it out of it by manually
installing the pre-downloaded updates after verifying the
machine is free from malware?
