Generally, Windows Update now creates these three digit error codes which are actually hexadecimal numbers as https://aiscer.wordpress.com/tag/error-code-57a/ compared to previous versions of Windows Updates which generates 8-stringed hexadecimal http://blogs.msmvps.com/mikehall/2008/05/15/windows-update-code-57a/ errors. Although, the errors still account for the same decimal comparative. Error 57A and Error 1402 is of the same helix. Troubleshooting errors for Windows Update does not required you to be a either a genius or a wizkid in any manner, it’s update error how you would need to use the resources in your system. I used several tools to be able to get into resolving this error: Calculator, Command Prompt, Event Viewer and Registry Editor. METHODOLOGY Calculator: Get your Decimal comparative of the error. Change Calculator from Standard to Programmer in Windows 7 and Scientific in Vista or update error 57a XP. Use Hexadecimal and input the code. Then transform this to Decimal by choosing the same in calculator. In this case 57A was 1402. Command Prompt: Use Command Prompt to interpret the Hexadecimal error to a tangible interpretation. Type NET HELPMSG 1402 = Invalid Cursor Handle. This error is now similar to a “System Error 5” which is an “Access is Denied” error. To be more specific an Invalid Cursor Handle is an error for a Registry Entry not being able to be changed, removed, modified or patched by Windows Update. Event Viewer: Now find the 1402 error code event for the Update being installed through Event Viewer. This should be under Windows Logs and then look under Applications. Find the Registry Key or Entry that Event Viewer should be pointing you to. Mine was at: Error 1402. Setup cannot open the registry key UNKNOWN\Components\A8CD4AD91379E0F3B85DCF71AC8684DA\0004119110000000000000000F01FEC Registry Editor: Now this is where everything becomes intricate (which I did enjoy!). This requires patience in you
Code 57A Old posts Tagged Old posts, Old posts May 15th, 2008 If you have attempted to install the latest round of Office updates via Windows Update, there is a very good chance of seeing this error code. There is a fix, but it is quite severe and may leave you with the task of creating new user accounts if your computer is set up for multiple users. It requires the downloading and installation of a utility the ability to search for, find, open and understand the first line in a log file (optional) the creation of a ‘batch' file the ‘nerve' to run the batch file Are you still in the game? Getting ready.. The file to be downloaded and installed is called SubInACL.exe and can be downloaded from this web site http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E8BA3E56-D8FE-4A91-93CF-ED6985E3927B&displaylang=en Now run a search on MSI*.log If you have attempted to install the Office update ‘today', when the search has finished, look for a log file dated with today's date. Open it and it will tell you in the first line which registry key has been causing the problem. When you create your ‘batch' file, you can either include all of the registry (as shown) or you can just fix the registry key set as indicated in the msi*.log file. Personally, I would ‘fix' all of the registry. To create the batch file, open NOTEPAD, then copy and paste the text between the broken lines into it. When pasted in, edit the blank lines out. You will then need to ‘save as' resetreg.bat or something similar. The important bit is that it is saved with the ‘bat' extension. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f subinacl /subdirectories %windir%|*.* /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose pause _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ This is it.. OK, you have installed ‘subinacl.exe', you have created your batch file, and
