Hello,

I am running Windows vista Ultimate edition, and I am encountering error
code 80073712 when trying to run windows update. Two updates are failing to
install -
KB943302 and KB943302.

I would be most grateful for any assistance.

Thank you, Barnaby Legg
 
Stuck at the first step.... went into CMD.exe, and entered
reg delete HKLM\COMPONENTS /v StoreDirty

got the message ERROR: Access is denied.

I am the only user on this computer, and my account is set to admin... i
also checked the shortcut to CMD.exe and ticked the box "run as
administrator".

Any other ideas?

Many thanks,

Barney
