The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff

Finally I found a good list of error codes that you might encounter when doing Windows/Microsoft Updates.

The page is for Windows XP SP3, but the error codes occur in many other update situations as well.

Error code that appears in the WindowsUpdate.log file	Error Code description (as it may appear in the Svcpack.log file)	Knowledge Base article that describes potential resolutions
0x8007F0F4	STATUS_PREREQUISITE_FAILED	949388
0x80246007	SUS_E_DM_NOTDOWNLOADED	949386
0x8007F003	STATUS_NOT_ENOUGH_SPACE	949385
0x80070005	ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED	949377
0x800706BE	RPC_S_CALL_FAILED	950718
0x8007F02B	STATUS_NOT_ENOUGH_WITH_UNINST	949375

Oh and this didn’t solve my problem:

• REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL
• REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL
• REGSVR32 ATL.DLL
• REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL
• REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL
• REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL
• REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL
