I'm trying to install the latest version of Windows Update Agent, v7.2.6001.788, and the installation failed with error code of 0x800b0100. Running Windows Server 2008 SP1.

The relevant WindowsUpdate.log section:

I think something went wrong twhen loading the srclient.dll.

Things that I have done and still no fix:

  • msiexec /unregister and msiexec /register
  • regsvr32 wuapi.dll
  • Run CheckSUR tool and restart

Have you tried this from the command prompt?

net stop cryptsvc
rename %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2old
net start cryptsvc

check that you're running the latest revision of the checksur tool. microsoft releases updates occasionally so one you downloaded last year may not fix your problem.

as of right now, the latest one is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
