    Hi,

     

    May be not able to explain this is proper english but the problem is about as follows: When I shoul close

    the computer there's an indication that update available and the computer will be closed after this. However, 

    of reason or another I get the information that update failed and following code: 8007068E. What it tries to

    update is Windows Live installationtools 2011. I have Windows Vista Home Premium. The update has failed at least 30-40 times

    and always you have the same note that update available which is a little frustrating:)) Don't know how important

    this update really is but anyhow should be able to update.

    Hi,

    Go to "C:\Program Files\Windows Live" and remove "Messenger" folder (note: replace "C" with your root drive letter)
    Go to "C:ProgramData" (note: replace "C" with your root drive letter) and delete both Windows Live Installer and WLInstaller if you have any
    Restart PC and try again.
