It stated that "Files required to use Windows Update are no longer
registered or installed on your computer. To continue"
...and then gave me an option to "Register or reinstall the files for me now
(Recommended)"
... or Read more about the issue.
I have Windows XP (home) with SP2 and all of the updates (definately through
November 2005, if not December). I am just unsure how this message can come
up and tell me this when I have all of the updates required and I have been
loyal in updating. Does anyone know what is going on here?
Did you select the option to register/reinstall the files for me now?
If you did, and there was no change -
then some users have reported that simply re-registering the MSXML3.DLL seems to fix the problem.
1. Click Start.
2. Choose Run.
3. In the Run box, type: regsvr32 MSXML3.DLL
Press okay
If that hasn't helped you may need to re-registered some more files:
1. Click Start.
2. Choose Run.
3. In the Run box, type (pressing okay after each one) :-
net stop wuauserv
Repeat for the following:
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wuweb.dll
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll
regsvr32 qmgr.dll
regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
net start wuauserv

Note If you have an x64-based computer, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v6/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent20-x64.exe
Click Save in the File Download-Security Warning dialog box, and then select the location where you
want to save the file.
Double-click the file that you saved
NB - A note from Torgeir Bakken [MVP]
Note that if it says "Install is not needed since Windows Update Agent is already installed.", run
the exe with the command line switch /wuforce, like this:
WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe /wuforce
Close IE and then restart IE and try visiting the WU site again.
