Failure(s) to install a particular update for Windows 7

Several times now, I've tried to use Windows update, but it keeps failing... giving the error code:
  "WindowsUpdate_80070103" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"
I've searched the Windows website for an appropriate and useful answer, but so far I haven't found an appropriate answer :-(
 Windows help just gives the result:
    0 results for "WindowsUpdate_80070103" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"
What's going on, and why I can't find an answer to this problem, I have no idea at all.
This has been going on for several weeks now.
So unfortunately, I'm now "forced" to ignore this so-called "important" update option :-(

Hi,
What exact Windows Update did you install? Have you tried to install it manually?
Meanwhile, please follow this guide to reset the Windows Update component:

    After installing the safari update for windows, outlook is now not opening email hyperlinks.  I have set safari to be my default browser but outlook won't open it when I click a link.  I get the following message: "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.

    Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
    This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

  • HT2305 I need helping with re-installing Apple Software Update for Windows Vista, please. :)

  • Should I let it install "Apple software update for windows 2.0.2"?

    Thanks, in advance... it may just be a ditz of a question.
    Running Vista and when in Mac occasionally run Parallels, Apple Software Update window popped and this update appeared:
    Apple software update for windows 2.0.2 with the description
    "This update includes general fixes and renews the root certificate that authenticates software delivered via Apple Software Update."
    I figure it was logical enough considering the obvious link but the description just looked to vague. So, I put it off... today searching the internet, Apple Help and so on for this "update" cannot find it anywhere. I have already had problems with file corruption so "fixing root certificates" unnecessarily is not ideal.
    Anyone else know one way or another or just tell it to go away for good?
    Thank you,
    Kylie

    I never actually use Software Update excep to tell me there is something (if I hadn't read about it). I go to the standalone downloads. There was one for QuickTime for Windows that you DO want.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    It sounds like Software Update for Windows, and that probably does deserve installing (I use x64 and don't really trust support yet or installers from Apple for now) so I have Apple software update in vista turned off.
    I do have the 9-17-2007 2.0.2 "Apple Software Update for Windows" installed.
    Why I don't trust Apple: alerts and UAC's are always hidden behind the installer window in front. I just tried to close the windows or dialogue box for Apple Software Update Preferences, it asked for UAC and went black, but I can't even close the box even though all I did was hit "Okay" button. So its 'hung' now.
    Apple needs to improve the installer for Vista - a lot. I like not having to type a password every time, that has gotten old after 6 yrs.

  • I am unable to install the newest update for itunes and quicktime because of a bonjour error about path not being located

    I have windows 7 and I have been trying to install the newest update for itunes and quicktime but I keep receiving the same Bonjour error. I even tried to do it manually and no luck. I also tried to unistall bonjour but it would not even allow me to unistall it either. No matter what I do I get the same error listed below:
    The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
    I would greatly appreciate any help because this appears whether i am trying to install the updates or remove bonjour to reinstall. I am stuck.
    Thank You in advance!!!

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1926 I keep getting the following message after attempting to download and install the latest update for iTunes: missing MSVCR80.dll.  error 7 (windows error 126)

    I keep getting the following message after attempting to download and install the latest update for iTunes: missing MSVCR80.dll.  error 7 (windows error 126). Anyone else having this issue? How do I get iTunes back in working order?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Hi Selva,
    Can you download the ISO file from this site?
    Download Windows Technical Preview
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dn783436
    If so, please download the installer and make a DVD or bootable USB, then try to perform the installation from there.
    Check following things first:
    1.Disconnect any devices connected to the PC.
    2.Disable/uninstall all anti-virus software (be sure to enable/reinstall later)
    3.Install all important updates from Windows Update before updating.
    If you still fail to install Windows, you will find $Windows.~BT under C drive (the system drive), please make sure to show up the Hidden file.
    Then, locate to the $Windows.~BT folder and find \Sources\Panther\setuperr.log and setupact.log, please upload them to a file sharing service like Onedrive or "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.

  • I installed the latest update for photoshop CC but the new options (like spin or path blur) are still not active. What to do?

    Yesterday,  installed the new updates for Photoshop CC. Photoshop tells me that it is up to date with all updates installed but still I can't use them, e.g. the blur gallery doesn't show the spin or path blur. Other new options are also not working. What should I do?

    Look for Photoshop CC (2014) in your Creative Cloud application, and press the [ Update ] button next to it (which is in itself more confusing).
