    I too have experienced this issue many times.  I always spend a vast amount of time trying to work a solution, today though its time to put some comments to microsoft to resolve this issue.  I am not a lone voice with a single issue, this is clearly related to demise of xp in a few months from now and MS  don't give a tinkers that we can't update.  I 've tried all the fixits, tips tricks, dot net etc. No resolution.  Microsoft are you listening, respond with a fix.

    Hi,

    It did not work for me. Windows update just keeps running without showing me anything.

    Fix it gives me the following error:

    Windows Update Publisher details
