    OK.....this is a thread about service registration missing or corrupt, but I can help with that, I think.

        Go here...........https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10?Ocid=1.%20Owned%20NA%20(Reactive)_Social_TWITTER_MicrosoftHelps_20160717_518846574

          If the upgrade doesn't work, download the Media Creation Tool at the bottom of the page, run it to download a copy of Win 10, put it on a usb stick and click run.exe. when you're prompted about what to do with the inserted drive.

    I finally got mine to update yesterday.  Someone suggested that I keep running the Windows Update Troubleshooter so I ran it over and over and on the 3rd or 4th try it fixed the corrupted or missing service registration.  That worked for me....hope it helps you!!!

    Is there any more on this issue?

     

    I recently have re-built 2 machines from fresh using the Dell Win XP - SP3 OEM disk and when going to update it just runs and runs and never actually seems to find anything. I have set Windows update for a certain time and that doesnt kick in either.

     

    I have ensured that both the Automatic Updates & the BITS service are both running again i noticed a Fix-It solution from http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/?wa=wsignin1.0 and when installing this it required .NET frameworks 2 which i installed for it to run. When the Fix-It tool ran through it found errors and fixed some bar the 1 and this was shows as 0x80070005 Service registration is missing or corrupt. Thus now landing me to this page.

     

    Both machines are doing the same... Anyone have any ideas much appriciated.

     

    Thanks

    Dan.

    Reg "Corupt" has got me too.

    Their ending support on XP in April http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/endofsupport.aspx

    ..,looks like their shutting the gates early..

    They wont be happy until they've forced everyone into Win8. Its impossible to get xp to run right anymore.

    Harder to find drivers than ever before too.They've destroyed the web. I wish I could say Ive seen revolts for less than this but i havent...In less than 5 years the internet will be worthless, unless the people are brainless idiots./

    "their will always be more dumb people than smart ones"  Im going back to BSD

    I restored my system to a date where I could update windows without any problem and now I can update windows.

    I have a different twist on this problem.  Mine is a new virtual XP installation on Windows 7 Professional. I don't have the option to go back to a earlier date.  Any other ideas?
