This may be a solution for you:
- Go to your control panel
- Enter Add and Remove programs
- You will notice a hot fix for kb929777.
- Uninstall this hot fix.
- Windows will ask for rebooting, so apply it.
- Download the hot fix kb929777 from the genuine windows vista website; but not from the auto update site.
- After successful update you need to again reboot your operating system.
- Search for updates.
- Also Remember that there should be no updates available in your history and should show successful update on the kb929777.
A much more simple way to escape from this error....
- Open up Control Panel and navigate your way to Programs and Features.
- Click View installed updates on the left hand side.
- Find the update KB929777 and uninstall it.
- Attempt to install the update again in Windows Update
- Once successful, restart your PC.
Follow these steps Carefully:
- Launch REGEDIT
- Go into HKLM\COMPONENTS, and check if these three values exist under the COMPONENTS key:
- PendingXmldentifier
- NextQueueEntryIndex
- AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
- Providing they do exist, back up the Components key, then delete the three above values.
- Restart the computer, and Windows Update should now be working fine.
