I'm trying to get Windows update to work and having trouble getting
"wuaueng.dll" to register. I keep getting "weaueng.dll is not an executable
file and no registration helper is registered for this file type". I've
downloaded and re-installed WIndowsLiveAgent tried all the most common fixes.


Any help would be appreciated.
 
Forgot to mention that I'm running xp Home SP2

Thanks for the info, but have tried all of these suggestions. When I try re
re-register I get an error message saying that "wuaueng.dll" is not
executable.

If anyone else has any ideas, please post.

Hi here,

Did you try this too:


Download location for WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43264


If it says "Install is not needed since Windows Update Agent is already
installed.", run the exe with the command line switch
/wuforce, like this: WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe /wuforce



Best regards,

Michel Denie

Thanks for the additional info. I reloaded WU using force and it still won't
register "wuaueng.dll".

Any other ideas would be much appreciated.
