Please do another search for updates. When updating fails, close the
Windows Update applet.

Click the Start orb, in the Search field type in
windowsupdate.log

Click the windowsupdate.log to open it.
Scroll *all* the way to the bottom.

Copy and paste at *least* the last 50 or so lines into your reply, please.

Then please try another attempt at updating.

See Method 1, and use " If you are running Windows Vista or Windows
Server 2008, follow these steps ... "
If no joy, try Method 2 and reinstall the Windows Update Agent.

If still no joy, then please run the System Update Readiness Tool:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821

Then try another attempt at updating.
If all of the above fails, then you can contact me via email.
We'll send the WindowsUpdate.log and the logs created from running the
SUR tool to a contact at MS.

Bear in mind that I'm departing early next Wednesday morining so ...
will provide email addy when needed. <w>

As in this entry in the Windows Update.log when installing the update
agent ?

352 e38 Setup FATAL: Applicability evaluation for
setup package
"WUClient-SelfUpdate-ActiveX~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~7.2.6001.788"
failed, error = 0x80004002

Did you run the System Update Readiness Tool yet ?
FWIW, my flight is tomorrow, not Wednesday. DOH !

Yea i guess i wasnt clear.

I ran the standalone installer and it said it found an update and installed

The Windows agent is still saying it cannot search for new updates though.
