Lots of reports lately of this error 0x80240022: The wrong diskette is in
the drive. Insert %2 (Volume Serial Number: %3) into drive %1
There seem to be many solutions possible. I'll try to list the successful
ones that I'm aware of, pardon the flagrant plagiarism and thanks to the
many contributors to this list:
1- I solved this problem by uninstalling defender and clearing all
register records for it, rebooting and then installing defender again .
You can use whichever registry cleaner, or regedit to scan & find each
"defender" word in the registry editor and delete all keys.
2- I, too, was unable to update. To fix the problem I did this:
0) Stop Windows Defender (not uninstall)
1) Start->Run->Msiexec /x {A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C}
2) Accept defaults
3) Start->Run->services.msc
4) In Services window, start both the Background Intelligent Transfer
Service (BITS) and the Windows Installer service
5) Restart Windows Defender
6) Hit the 'Check for Updates' button again
=> this time it worked
3- Just in case the above didn't work for anyone just like it didn't for
myself, you might want to try disabling your firewall and/or antivirus
program while updating your definitions. I'm running Kerio Personal
Firewall and it was preventing me from updating and I was getting the same
message. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as the tips above
to no avail....alas, it was something as simple as my firewall causing the
hitch in my giddy-up.
4- Steve Dodson [MSFT] WD team asked for input in the event of definition
update problems. Here's his post again, drop him a line.
I wanted to step back and make sure we have the definition updating
mechanism
in place and working for all the beta testers. To make sure we are firing
in
all cylinders, I am asking any user to let me know if definitions are not
downloading and installing for them. One caveat is that users behind SUS or
WSUS servers may be running into issues set by their system admins, so I
cannot help there. However, home users and others not behind corporate
update servers please let me know your signature woes (if any). My contact
information is below; just drop the "online" from the email.
