The issue: "Windows was unable to install auto updates"....it just refused to work.
After much web searching I just got it fixed.


Good tip.

I just re-installed Windows 7 (64-bit) recently also and had the same problem of updates not, well, updating. After some searching, I found a list of updates (it was about 6 or 8 of them) to download manually and install them manually, which then allowed Windows to continue updating. It worked like a charm. I would have to look to see if the one posted here was in the list (and maybe that's all that was needed), but I installed the ones listed (took just a few minutes to do, although it took several hours searching to get to that web page that listed them in the first place). If I still have that info, I'll post the list, as that may help someone as well.

I doubt I'll be re-installing Windows 7 from scratch again, as I have captured disk images and would re-install that way instead. I have an image with the basic Windows+Office+all updates to that point installed, then another cumulative image with my other office and productivity apps installed, then another cumulative image with all my music applications installed (all my music libraries are installed to a different drive, so recreating the C: drive doesn't take very long at all, and as long as the drive letters match up, everything works).
