One of the most common causes of this error code is the Anti Virus and Anti Spyware
software programs running on the computer.
You can try turning them off and then try the updates again. Keep the firewall on though.

How to reset security settings back to the defaults - WinXP Professional

[PA Bear [MS MVP]]

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3) when posting to
this newsgroup.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed?

Can you tell us which update(s) you're trying to install?

You may be able to solve the problem by downloading and and then installing
the Subinacl.exe file.

Julie, FYI, it would have been better to start your own thread and provide
all the relevant information so we can assist if appropriate/possible.

Ok, so ignore my prior post from today... I kind of figured out why a month's
worth of updates weren't automatically installing into my computer but I
don't know how to solve this problem which is "Error Code: 0x80070005" - for
EVERY update not installed, this was supposedly the problem. I tried manually
installing them but got the same error code.

I tried the recommended resolutions for this error ("REGEDIT") even though
the problem description wasn't exactly the problem I was having - it was just
the only thing I could find related to the error code. Anyway, the resolution
didn't work so any help?!

[Robert Aldwinckle]

Then your symptom is essentially independent of WU,
so you may get better assistance from someone who has
actually installed whatever it is that you are trying to install,
e.g. from someone in a newsgroup which specializes in that
update's product.

Usually 0x80070005 is just a symptom of a permissions problem
of some kind. You need to use the install log or perhaps the Event log
to refine that symptom description, so you can know *which* resource
needs to have its permissions changed.

An alternative to using those diagnostics would be to run ProcMon
and rerun the install, then look for messages such as "access denied"
in the ProcMon trace.
