I'm trying to install the latest version of Windows Update Agent, v7.2.6001.788, and the installation failed with error code of 0x800b0100. Running Windows Server 2008 SP1.

The relevant WindowsUpdate.log section:

I think something went wrong twhen loading the srclient.dll.

Things that I have done and still no fix:

  • msiexec /unregister and msiexec /register
  • regsvr32 wuapi.dll
  • Run CheckSUR tool and restart

Method for Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 To resolve this issue, run the System Update Readiness Tool (Checksur.exe). To do this, follow these steps: Download and run the System Update Readiness Tool. This tool runs a one-time scan for inconsistencies that may prevent future servicing operations. For more information about how to download and run the Checksur.exe tool, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 947821 Description of the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista Try to install updates again. Note After you run the tool, the Checksur.log file is located in the following location: %systemroot%\Logs\CBS\

Have you seen the list of things that I've done? How is this different than the third item? – Adrian Godong Jul 19 '11 at 21:21

Have you tried this from the command prompt?

net stop cryptsvc
rename %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2old
net start cryptsvc
