Hello Miss Vicky,

Please always state what OS you're using as it does make a difference -
- -

Which update(s) ?

Could you supply some information on what your firewall is , anti-virus,
other RTP programs, etc?

Suggest cleaning up the system (clearing out all the Temp/Tmp folders, and
included all offline content, clearing the browser TIF, Delete Cookies , do a
Disk CleanUp.

Click the Start button . In the Search box, type Disk Cleanup, and then, in
the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.

OK - go here and DOWNLOAD the update manually to your desktop.

Try to install

0x80242006 SUS_E_UH_INVALIDMETADATA The caller passed an update with
invalid metadata to the handler

I *think* that means a system file can not be found by Component Based
Servicing [CBS]. One can view the cbs.log in WINDOWS\logs\CBS
and, *hopefully*, find out which system file is the culprit.
Be aware that this log can be very large.

Start at the *bottom* of the cbs.log and do a Find for error.
When the log opens in Notepad scroll all the way down to the bottom,
click Edit, Find
Enter error in the Find what: line
Under Direction: put a tick mark next to Up
Click Find Next
Here's an error from a cbs.log that shows Windows Calendar as the file
'not found':

2007-09-05 03:16:55, Error CSI
00000148@2007/9/4:17:16:55.326 (F) CMIADAPTER: AI failed. HRESULT =
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)
Element:
[94]"<securityDescriptor xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"

[gle=0x80004005]

The file was actually on the system BUT it's folder in Scheduled Tasks
had been deleted. The 'package' could not find that folder and the
installation would fail.

Post back with the section of the cbs.log that contains the xml entry,
as the section above does, Vicky:

Stacey,

If you pull your hair out, send some my way. I'm "folliclely-enabled "

> turned off all firewalls and virus scanners.

*** How many 'firewalls and virus scanners' are running
concurrently ? ***

Please enable the native Vista firewall for now as it will *not* cause
updating issues *unless* you've tweaked it.

First, try running the System File Checker:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931712

Do Method 1.
If no joy, then run the System Update Readiness Tool [CheckSUR]:

Does SFC /SCANNOW say it found components it could not repair?

LOL well went to ms to see if they can help any.... working on it now so we
shall see what happens! This is insane though how many people are having
these issues..... and yet they dont fix it!!!!!!!!!!!! ugh! Not pulling
hair out YET, but will save it for ya :) Firewall... only one on is the
native vista one, and turned that one off. Virus scanner is AVG and that is
off as well. All that I had going. Ran the system file checker.... found an
error but would not tell me what it was NOR would it fix it! Have downloaded
checkSUR so many times I think my computer can do it automatically now!!!!
So for now... I am with MS and we shall see what they do for me. I will post
when I get it fixed with how *I* fixed, so maybe it can help someone else!

Start regedit and search for this key.

x86_microsoft-windows-language-resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_aac07d41407e78b4

Export (save) the key before you delete it, in case you need back.

Located under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\DerivedData\Components\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\DerivedData\Components\


Run SFC to check for anymore errors, then Windows Update to test.

Wow Tae, Thanks! Honestly though working in reg edit scares me! I did it
once a loooong time ago and completely crashed my system :) BUT I did get it
working again! Computer programer I am not! But emailed MS and they did
help a lot.....Here is what he told me to do.

Suggestion 1: Rename the pending.xml file

================================

1. Click "Start", in "Start Search" item, type: "notepad" (without quotes)
and press Enter.

2. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad
window: *this was key here*

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptsvc

takeown /f c:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml

icacls c:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml /grant Administrators:(D,WDAC)

del c:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml

pause

3. After pasting the above commands, please close the Notepad window. Choose
"Save" when you are prompted to save the file. Type "rename.bat" as the file
name and choose Desktop from the left panel as the location.

4. Refer to the Desktop and right click the rename.bat file, then choose
"Run as administrator".

5. You will see a DOS-like window processing.

6. After it is completed, please reboot the machine.

After performing the steps successfully, please perform Windows Update to
check the issue again. If the issue persists, please proceed to the next
suggestion.

Suggestion 2: Run the CheckSUR tool

============================

1. Please download and run CheckSUR tool from the following webpage
according to your System Type:

System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista (KB947821)

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2889489c-ee87-4607-8aa5-812e8078ab27&DisplayLang=en

System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista for x64-based systems

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=14f76773-007c-493f-bece-243bc21ac73d&DisplayLang=en

2. Double click on the downloaded file to run the CheckSUR tool

3. Restart the computer and perform Windows Update to check the results.


I did have to do both of them to work.... but nothing worked for me before
this. Funny part is I kept getting errors during step one, could not find
the file at all! But I guess doing it this way kicked something in the
circuits and said work blast you :) But hopefully this will help someone one
else along the way who was as desperate as I was. Thank you all for your
help and support!!! I really do appreciate it!!!!!

Hugs
Stacey

Suggestion 1 definitely looks like it's worth trying first.

I did try the SUR Tool, when I I had problems installing the SP2 for Vista.
It could not find any problems, which is how I ended up using SFC, learning
about the CBS logs and I had to edit the registry to fix my Windows Update
problem.

Check this out, Tae:

How to overcome error 0x80070490 when installing updates in Windows
Vista/Server 2008
http://blogs.msdn.com/andrekl/archive/2008/09/29/how-to-overcome-error-0x80070490-when-installing-updates-in-windows-vista-server-2008.aspx#ReferenceInfo

The MS Escalation Engineer confirms that the CBS.log will show what's
missing and that deleting the associated reg key will restart the
updating process.

But, at the end of the article, there's a *big* caveat:

> From my research seeing this error means that the binaries actually present on the system are not in
> sync with what CBS has noted. This can be a sign of malware so you should run your favorite malware
> scanner to ensure that your system is "clean".

Malware is highly overrated, Microsoft Windows can screw up on it's own
without help from 3rd party developers... just kidding... well maybe not,
LOL.

Case in point, have you tried MSInfo32? It can sometimes generate a
"corrupted" .nfo file. Save a .nfo and reopen it in MSInfo32. I opened it
up with Notepad and it's text file using XML format. So I tried a program
called XML View and it saids there's an invalid character in the file.
Unfortunately, it didn't tell me where this "invalid" character is. I spent
all day yesterday trying to find it in the 3.8MB report. I tracked it down
as far as Windows Error Report section. I think it's some character
sequence in one of the report names, but I could not find it.

Just so, if some tech support guy wants you to send them the .nfo file and
they tell you it's corrupt and send them another you know where the
"corruption" came from and why it's pointless to resend it.

Anyways, MSInfo32 can still open the file, even though it will give you an
error message the file is corrupt and can not be opened. The file isn't
corrupt to any great extent, at least not to the human eyes. It just has a
character or some sequence of characters that's considered invalid for XML
format.
