What is the latest windows update agent version supported for Windows 7 - 32
bit and 64 bit operating systems. The version installed on our Windows 7
systems appears to be 7.3.7600.16385.
All of our other operating systems are running 7.4.7600.226. Not sure if
I can run this version with Windows 7 or not...
How do I reset Windows Update components?
[Ignore the APPLIES TO section if Win7; Access KB971058 via IE8 32-bit only;
Run the Fix It in DEFAULT and AGGRESSIVE modes]
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058
This reset will upgrade WUA in the process.
Or see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946928
Or see the FAQ "How do I know if I have the Latest Version of the Windows
Update Client and how do I get the latest client if it is not?" at the top
of the WU forum page:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads
Reasonable question...
I would usually point such things to:
How to obtain the latest version of the Windows Update Agent to help manage
updates on a computer
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104
But it does not mention Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2...
It does mention 7.4.7600.226 - information likely added on April 16, 2010 -
Revision 9.0.
Other places around the Internet indicate it is for Windows 7 as well..
http://windows7center.com/forums/patches/4137-new-windows-7-update-agent.html
So maybe use that article (949104) and get the latest version and try it on
a test machine with Windows 7 x64 - JiC.
