this is it:

http://wikisend.com/download/720698/WindowsUpdate.log

Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type windowsupdate.log, and then click OK.
Upload the logfile to www.wikisend.com and provide me the download link to it.

Can you tell me what the error number is?

Thank you very much. Worked successfully.

Thanks Kevin. My issue is fixed.

I got this error. I changed permissions on the reg folder (Advanced, changed owner).

Thanks for the link! Apologies for not replying sooner.

Is your windows running on an external drive?

How would you suggest I do this? I have an external hard drive 500GB

It looks like your windows is severely corrupted. I would suggest you back up all your data, and re-install Windows because of the number of errors you are getting.

finally tried the windows update reset script and got this. So far nothing has worked in getting my windows updates to work again please help

I then tried method 5 and got this

Thanks! The amazing thing is that dispite this problem now the windows update is working!

Hi Kevin,
I have done step 1 and 2, but in step 2 since I don’t have a windows DVD, SFCFix is not able to fix a currupt file. The log file says:
AutoAnalysis::

How can I solve this?

try this http://appuals.com/windows-update-showing-error-code-0x8024a000/

try it… and if it won’t fix the issue then just do a reinstall. let me know if you need help reinstalling.

Please post a screen shot here.

Ok I will try that

Can you run SURT again and let it run for a couple of hours until it finishes?
