Cannot install updates error code: 800B0100
« on: October 19, 2013, 07:24:03 am »
Hello everyone

The title pretty much says everything. I already did all the stept listed in this youtube helper;

But nothing helped. Even after doing tweaking.com registry clean and the windows update repair, I keep having the same error code... What should I do?

The windows version I am using is Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bits and everything is working fine. Installed the Windows yesterday...

Thanks!

After a bit of GOOGLE-ing this popped.
http://windows.microsoft.com/nl-nl/windows-vista/windows-update-error-800b0100
"Files not correctly registered".

Try this:
1. Grab the latest Windows Repair (WR) version (v2.01)
2. Run (at least) the repairs #1, 2 (select drive on which your system is installed), 3, 6, 16, 25 & 26. (some people simply run all repairs)
Reboot. Is the problem solved ?

3. grab the file in the attachment, unzip it, switch off internet and run it with administrator rights.
Reboot. Is the problem solved ?

If step 3 helps to solve the problem then I know where WR needs to be improved (Shane ??)

When you run the Windows repair it is always good to do the reset permissions repairs and such as well, so do as Willy2 suggested and let me know how it goes and we will go from there :wink:
