When i try to run an update for office 2007 I get this error: Windows Update
database is corrupted

Although all of the other important updates ran. I tryed doing a repair.bat
per instrutions but that did nothing. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help, I tried these solutions and I still get an error that
the database is corrupted.

Also I am running Vista.

Is this the MSKB where you saw instructions to run a .bat to resolve the
error: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958042

If so, then suggest you rename DataStore.edb by first stopping the
update service and BITS, if it's been started.
Here's what Repair.bat should look like -

net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
ren DataStore.edb DataStore.edb.old
ren Download Download.old
net start wuauserv
net start bits

DataStore.edb is the database that the error refers to, Judy, despite
what the KB article states. It can be corrupted by antivirus software
scanning it while it's locked [ in use ].
Reboot after running the .bat file and see if the system can update now.

To avoid this issue in the future, see this:

Correction:


net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
ren DataStore.edb DataStore.edb.old
cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\
ren Download Download.old
net start wuauserv
net start bits

Without changing directories, cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\,
the renaming of the Download subfolder will fail.
