Hi,

I decided to open a different thread for this. Ok, I'm getting this error 0x80070005 when I try to run windows update. Apparently is an elevation permissions issue. I have looked around how to reset those permissions to the ones that I had.

I disabled UAC to get rid of the annoying messages of needing to be an admin to do anything on Vista. I read in a blog that turning off this would remove those messages. It did. I now think that this is somehow related with the permissions problems that I'm having.

Now I'm more sure because I have tried to install TortoiseSVN and is having the same issue with the permissions. Apparently most software don't require this elevation permissions, but tortoiseSVN does.

 So two questions:

- How can I reset to the previous state without reinstalling the machine? Turning UAC on back didn't work. Checking DCom permissions and grant full permissions to the local admin account, my local user and my domain user didn't work either.

- Is there any way to install updates manually when your windows update manager seems not to have the right permissions? Like a stand-alone application.

 Thanks,

 Miguel
