    code for 800700B. I then downloaded the files to install manually and the
    install fails.

    80072EFE ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED
    Some network problem or the server/proxy reset the socket connection

    A manual installation should not have either of the above issues.
    To be clear, you manually downloaded the update and it failed to install
    or you tried to manually install the update that was downloaded by
    Automatic Updates [Windows Updates, in Vista] ?

    Are there any other updates listed for XML 4.0 SP2 in Add/Remove
    Programs in the Control Panel ?

    Is the native Vista firewall being used or is there a 3rd party firewall
    installed ?

    See if this helps, Darren:

    This worked on the two Vista machines that we have.

    1) Create a folder on C:\ drive called 'WUAGENT'. Use this directory to
    store the Windows Update Agent file (see next step).

    2) Go to the link below, and download 'WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe' to the
    C:\WUAGENT directory:

    http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe

    3) Open the Command Prompt and forced a re-install of the Windows Update
    Agent with the following command:

    C:\WUAGENT\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce

    4) Try to re-install the update

    i have the same problem where error details is code 80072EFE. HOW DO I CORRECT

    0x80072EFE - ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED - The connection with the server has been
    terminated.

    You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use Windows Update or
    Microsoft Update to install updates
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941

    I am also having a similar problem. I sometimes leave microsoft running for
    well over an hour and get the same code where no update whatsoever is listed.
    I recently installed service pack 1 expecting the problem would be fixed yet
    i still get the error.

    I have tried with this solution, but it didn't work because my
    command prompt doesn't allow to introduce some of the symbols that you
    suggest, like "\". I can't download the actualizations. And it appears the
    errors 8024401B or 800700B, alternatively. Sorry, but Spanish is mi native
    language. Please help me to solve this problem.

    I get the same error also so i go to microsoft.com to download vista service
    pack 2 and i cant even download from the website infact i cant download
    anything from the website, it just says "internet explorer cannot display
    this webpage" so then i do "diagnose the problem" and it says "windows did
    not find any problems"
    I need to get the service pack for Grand Theft Auto 4 to work

    I have Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate x64

    Error message when you use the Windows Update or Microsoft Update Web site
    to install updates: "0x8007000B"
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956699/

    Windows Error Code 8024401b
    http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...6b3b11033.mspx

    MS notes -
    That error (8024401B) is Http status 407 - proxy authentication required.
    The windows update agent runs under the context of the local system account,
    so even if you have been given rights to access resources on the internet,
    it may fail.

    Your proxy admin should change the configuration to not require
    authentication for the following:

    I don't have any further ideas on this one.

    thanks a lot for your answer, but it didn't work. I have made
    all that you have recommended, but the error 800700 appears again. I am with
    the service "Windows installer" working, I work without proxy, I introduced
    all your websites in my allowed sites in the configuration of security of
    internet, I introduced the order (C:\WUAGENT\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe
    /wuforce) in the command promtp, but it tells me that it is not needed
    because "the agent of Windows Update is installed"... but the problem
    continues. I hope you will find this case very challenging to discover
    another solution and to help me to download the updates of Windows that I am
    missing. . Probably the problem is the lack of authorization of scripts. I
    don't know. Thanks a lot and regards from Pamplona, San Fermines, Hemingway,
    etc...

    When I am trying to update Windows Vista it wont update. When I try to update
    Windows Defender it wont update. On both of them I cannot update manually
    neither. It's like my computer does not want to talk to nothing at all.

    QED: Now did the former get checked & the latter unchecked to begin with?

    Further to this suggestion i cannot get to the microsoft download link,again
    no doubt for the same reason i cannot download the update ,the connection is
    being interrupted.Anyone got any further suggestions

    You should note that for users whom have no "proxy admin, no domain, no
    nothing" that maleware,trojans,viruses have exploited this flaw as i am
    dealing with this on a clients machine which has been infected with what I
    believe to be the conflicker worm. Furthermore it is funny how Home Premium
    users do not have policy editor installed to them. But with A few mods of the
    registry in the LSA keys all of a sudden Group Policy Modes become enforced
    by worms and trojans. Besides spending days to Sift through the registry to
    look at policy keys their is no other alternative.

    If I am misunderstanding something here please do correct me!

    To fix this error open "internet explore/tools/internet
    options/connections/LAN settings" make sure "use a proxy server for your lan"
    is unchecked and have "automatically detect settings" checked. This worked
    for me.

    Don't forgot about femaleware and maleware that doesn't wear trojans... <w>

    Re: Error details: Code 80072EFE

    Your post is both useless and unprofessional for a MS MVP. I Stated that when
    a Vista use contracts a virus/trojan/maleware That the they are exploiting
    issues within the OS. I and that said problems are attacking the entire
    system. Your useless reply of "Don't forgot about female and maleware that
    doesn't wear trojans..." offers no solutions or valid insight into a
    problem of malicious software gaining access to the registry to invoke group
    policy keys with the little addition of a string to mimic the business class
    vista version and invoke group policies of said softwares choosing. What
    windows fails to offer is the policy editors to repair this problem. So "I
    have this trojan whom I cant get rid of because my POLICY is Said that I must
    download Injector.dll from http://a.virus.domain/ every wednesday of the
    week. Not only does it force me to download this Injector.dll it also if
    forcing me to proxy through a website of their choosing which blocks
    Searches, And ALL the sites whom contain any sort of
    antivirus/maleware/update solutions" This is the case with a Clients machine
    which I have gotten and am working on. No policy Editor to correct the
    problems.

    Lastly if you have no Solution and advice or knowledge in this keep your
    spam comments to yourself.
