I'm having hard time with Windows update from past few weeks today so I thought I would post this.
Whenever I try to update on tuesday from last few weeks, I'm receiving following errors even after multiple restarts.
Error(s) found:
Code 80070641, Code 641 and Code 80070005.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thursday, May 10, 2012 3:52 PMThanks a lot for all the inputs. Somehow Windows Installer service was disabled. Enabling the service and a reboot worked out well. Thanks a lot for all the help.
