[windows update error 80070490]

Hi there, just was wondering if you ever found a solution to this problem.
I'm having the same issue and I'm having a heck of a time trying to fix it.
I'm thinking about resetting my laptop back as if it was new. But I'm affraid
it will still have the same issue.

I've read somewhere that a solution is to "upgrade" your vista. You do this
by inserting your vista CD and clicking install and after some loadings click
"upgrade" as in a first-time installation. i've not tryed it because it says
i don't have enough free disk space (14GB only heh) but it was related to the
same error message..

I've tried all day with the suggestions published on the net. None work. I
paid for this OS and it doesn't work.
My solution is to get Linux.

...took a few minutes to find out:
download package(s) manually and install from hard disk; reboot, ther
you go. worked with a number of error messages upon automatic updat
failure.....

There is a way to overcome error 0x80070490 when installing updates in Server 2008. Please note that getting this error is a serious hint towards an unstable system (in my case it was caused by a faulty hard drive). While the solution steps worked fine on my system, please create and test a backup of your system before trying the below. You can easily get to the point where a complete reinstall is needed.
