Windows Updates Fails Server 2008 0x80070490
- by Mark Robinson
I have a server with Windows Server 2008 Standard x64 Edition installed. This has been installed and running for several months and I have been able to successfully install previous Windows Updates. I have two pending updates that fail to install.
(KB967723) Security update for Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition
(KB976098) Update for Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition
Fails with Error code: 80070490
Followed this off Microsoft support site, which basically says to repair Windows with the install DVD. When I get to the step to select upgrade I get the following error.
Upgrade has been disabled.
The upgrade cannot be started. To upgrade, cancel the installation and
then choose to upgrade to a version of
windows that is more recent then the
version you are currently running.
So basically feel like I've hit a dead end with out doing a complete reinstall. Any ideas ?
