Thread: HResult 80070424 is the

biggest fat fuck ever. *vent*

Has anyone else ever received this error? I'm getting it with windows update and it won't let me install any updates.. this is a huge problem. I had it 8 months ago, reformat my HP laptop, I was able to install updates for a couple months then again I had this problem. So I've gone 6 months without a microsoft update and it's making things worse because...

I can't install Visual C++ 2008 because of this error, it actually says something about HRESULT 80070424 in there

Because I can't install Visual C++ 2008, I can't get Avast 5.0 to work..... fucking POS I had 4.8 working just fine then I had to renew and I got 5.0... and Avast won't even let me get 4.8. Even if I download 4.8 from somewhere else it just keeps installing 5.0..........

And now I have no protection.. I guess I could go and install AVG. But wtf, I've tried countless solutions to this problem and none of them work, but they work like a charm for plenty others. I've googled it over and over, and I probably won't find the answer here. Sigh.. does anyone else feel my pain?

EDIT: Okay.. I can't even install the latest AVG because I can't install Visual C++, because I can't install windows update.. fuck you windows
