Hi Guru's,
Been running Win7 Enterprise x64/SP1 (clean RAID1 install) for over a year now but around start of March 2013, the optional Platform Update for Windows 7 x64-Edition (KB2670838) seems to have screwed up my Windows Update (error Code 80070BC9 &amp I have confirmed
this update has not actually been installed). Although I have hidden this update &amp Microsoft Essentials itself updates without any issues &amp FULL scan finds no issues, I am no longer able to get any automatic updates.
Even after using the MS 'Fix It' utility which seems to detect &amp repair problems and following the instructions provided in the "[URL="How
do I reset Windows Update Components". I now seem to be in an endless loop with Windows Update always wanting me to restart my computer to install important updates.
I have attempted a Windows file system repair from my bootable CD and performed a complete offline chkdsk to ensure there are no errors so I'm really stuck now &amp don't particularily want to have to re-install Windows 7 for just one vital component that appears
to have got somewhat confused so any help here would be greatly appreciated.
As a matter of interest, when I did follow the detailed information on how to reset the Windows Update components, here is a list of issues I ran into so maybe that could explain why ALL the components did not get fully installed properly?

1. Ren %systemroot%system32catroot2 *.bak -&gt no permissions were allowed to rename file even after I changed its owner R/W properties
2. When I tried to Reregister the following BITS and Windows Update files, I got the following popup error message:-&gt module "xxxxxx.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DIIRregisterServer was not found. Make sure that "xxxxx.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.where xxxxx was mshtml, shdocvw, browseui, msxml, gpkcsp, sccbase, slbcsp, initpki, wuaueng1, wucltui, wuweb, qmgr and muweb
3. C:WindowsSystem32&gtnetsh reset winsockThe following command was not found: reset winsock.

So I'm not sure if these commands are out of date or I have some other sinister issues with my registery as this might explain why I am unable to reset my Windows Update components?

Anyway, as I've said before any advice or if I've missed anything would be of great help as I'll stumped on this one!

Cheers,
Frank.
