Hello:
I just fixed a PC for a friend that had a "MSE won't instal or update" issue. The second issue not reported to me was Windows Update was not functional.
The PC had two rootkits, found by Combifix [BleepingComputer].
Also BITS [ Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) missing - Microsoft ]
Note: this is how I found Tweaking.com ...

I did not run chkdsk, but i did run SFC via Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v.1.95 [setp 3].
SFC must have fixed something because it required a full Restart of Windows.
Then I ran Step 4 successfully. and with only  an IP issue [covered elsewhere] all went well, after full restart.
MSE installed, updated, and Windows updates became available.
Hope this Helps,
Regards

Yeah my repair tool will put the reg keys back for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) :-)

First thing is to check your system for root kits.

tdsskiller.exe and the new malwarebytes anti rootkit program do very well. I save combofix as the last one :-)

I ran tdsskiller and  malwarebytes anti rootkit and they found did not find a thing. I get error code 0x80070643 when  I try and install it.

Shane:
Looks like it might be an MSI problem. On this page is a fix it for the MSI corruption, give it a try :wink:
