New Windows Update v6

i get this error when downloading the new engine??anyone help
thank you
Error number: 0x80070420

 

would love to give you a hand but when I updated it went smoothly with no problems.

 

Hi.

I had the same error just after upgrading to v6 of windowsupdate, disabling ProcessGuard & Giant AntiSpyware resident guards got me past it & to the scan page.

Problem is when i click custom check for updates, the green bar moves along & after a min all IE activity vanishes from Outposts network activity window, i left it running for 20 mins & no change.

Im think that there will have to be a update to Outposts windows update rulesets ( i use the secure config from agnitum forum )

 

On the same error page youn have some option on how to tackle that error.
Or see here

Hi bigc73542
after downloading ActiveX, on next page I clicked
"express" Get high-priority updates (recommended)
then on the next page I got this

Ok selection on left are these

so where is the V6 and how long it took to update, what are the changes.Can you please provide an image if possible

 

Glad it wasnt just me, have just tried lettin it scan again & this time it seems to have worked (at least it said no high priority updates)

I did notice tho in Outpost activity window that when i do scan for updates, Svchost.exe gets a few blocked DCOM requests

Main thing tho is it seems to work ok now & seems much quicker in scanning

 

@Hadi

I'm in the same situation as Oddbod -- if I use the Win Update tool, either from Start or from the IE Tools menu, I go to v5 as usual. (IE Tools is better -- the Start Menu one apparently simply uses your default browser, which in my case is Firefox.) And although the very first thing it says it's doing is checking for latest Update version, it carries on with the standard v5 scan.

Anyone who's successfully upgraded -- does this also look after renaming Win Update in Start and IE Tools in the process?

 

Hi Mike.

On my XP SP2 even though i have Opera as my default browser, clicking the start menu shortcut for windows update always opens IE

After upgrading (not without a few errors & stalls) clicking the same start menu shortcut takes me to the v6 site, loks like the shortcuts are updated after upgrading.

I think M$ will add the newer activeX files to the v5 site very soon so that when u visit it, it will upgrade you first, then load up the v6 site.

Im happy they have improved the scanning speed though

 

ty for the reminder..i was able to update afterall. i was getting error(cant recall nr) while downl v6 update at 17%..
i refreshed the page and it picked up the downl at 17% and installed fine

Thanks, Oddbod -- using your link, it downloaded and installed just fine.

I'm mildly surprised that MS got the cart before the horse, so to speak, and didn't set v6 up as a critical upgrade to v5. I'm also surprised that the IE menu entry didn't get renamed in the process (or a new entry added, as in the Start menu), but "Win Updates" does now take me to the MS v6 page rather than the Win v5 page.

And I agree, the new scan is quite a bit faster now.

 

On my Win2000....it did not rename the Start Menu or IE Tools Windows Update shortcuts....it did add a Microsoft Update shortcut\new icon to the Start Mneu.

I initially updated to Windows Update v6(ActiveX control)....I then chose to update to the Microsoft Update v6(ActiveX control). The Microsoft Update mechanism not only deals with Windows....but also other Microsoft products....such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft SQL Server....all in one convenient place. If I choose....I can disable Microsoft Update software and use Windows Update only.
