Question：Hello,
I have done pretty much everything under the sun to try and solve this issue I am having. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and I'm experiencing this issue of not being able to retreive any Windows Updates. I will say that my family is running on a Linksys router and I have been told that the router does have Norton Software builtin. Could this be the issue? I have gone through numerous tutorials but none of them have resolved my issue!
Also, another family member of mine is using Windows XP and whenever they go to Windows Update, they get lead to Google. I think after researching this issue, we found out that they possibly have a bug of some sort. If anyone on here could please help me out with other possibilites on how to fix these problems or at least mine, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

Answer 1：
In some cases below mentioned resolution worked
All these problems can be fixed on vista machine by copying the missing "winhttp.dl"l file from other machine. You may want to check to see if you have one in your C:\Windows\System32 directory. Just copy the file from another Vista machine. You won't need to reboot.
try second method
Well guys and gals I found a solution to my issue of the error 80080005. It stems from corrupted dll files mainly WUAUCLT1.DLL, WUAUENG1.DLL, WUAUSERV.DLL, CDM.DLL, WUAPI.DLL,WUPS.DLL,WUCLTUI.DLL, AND IUENGINE.DLL (register this dll's again)
third method
Download and run dail-a-fix

Answer 2：Okay, here are my results..
1) I already have the file, "winhttp.dll" file; I found it after I conducted a search on it
2) Very few files were able to be re-registered that you had mentioned as your second method, although there were a couple (literally, if any) that did register HOWEVER, they appeared not to be in the system32 folder. (example: cdm.dll was able to be re-registered, but it wasn't in the system 32 folder when I had searched for it; could this be a "hidden file" and that might be why I can't find it?
3) "Dial-a-fix" is not vista compatible. I have Vista Home Premium.
My other idea I had, I was wondering if I copy each of these DLL's from another computer that uses vista to my computer; would that work?

Hi vistauser90,,
Thanks for visiting answers.microsoft.com forums.
I was doing some research online for the error code you are receiving and found a post where a user tried a solution and it seemed to work. You may want to give the following a try:
Steveythehero -ive fixed the prblem at last here are the steps i used to fix the problem
1) disable the service
- go to the control panel and from there click on administrative tools
- then click on services and scroll down to windows update and stop the service
2) rename some files
- then go to the primary drive where the Operating System is installed c: and click on windows file
- search for softwaredistribution and rename it by putting some numbers on it like softwaredistribution111 or something like that
3) restart the service
- go back to services and start the service of windows update
- then click on properties and set it form automatic (delayed) to automatic.
and start up update and voila it will work
if it still gives you a error code of 80070003 then go to the new software distribution service folder and delete all the content of the data store folder and the downloads folder and it should work but remember to disable the service before deleting the files otherwise Windows will not allow you to delete the files.
I found this solution from this web site.
Another solution suggested was to copy the winttp.dll file from another Vista machine and replace your existing one in C:\Windows\System32 directory
Please let us know if this resolved your issue otherwise we can continue troubleshooting.
