Dell Inspirion

While attempting to run windows upate, It says it requires software update.
It downloads and attepmts to run windows installer 3.1. It fails with error
code 0x8007005.

I googled it and ran MGAdiagnostics (came up clean and valid). I also ran
regcure to clean up a very messy registry.

I had to restorew/repair WinXP SP2. Internet and other access is now
working.

How can I clear the install of installer 3.1?

Thx

John
 
I downloaded and ran and got error - access is denied. WHat configuration
changes must I make?

Leroy,

Iwas able to find another solution. This system was a "repair" rebuild of
Win XP Home. There are issues with that, that require working with DLL
(rename & restore).

It is now working.

Thx
John

I have the same problem. Can you elaborate on the fix or send me to the size where you found it?
