Some Updates were not configured - Code 80070020 RRS feed

  • Question

  • trying to do todays ne w Mesh Update on Vista Business SP1 and continually get the message - "Some Updates were not configured" and an error code of 80070020. I do have UAC turned on but I did try the update with UAC turned off and still the same error. The result is that Live Mesh continually says that it is starting but never completes the starting ????

    Any advice most appreciated !!

    Can you please send us your logs:  Start, All Programs, Live Mesh, Collect Live Mesh Logs.  It will put a LiveMeshLogs.cab on your desktop. 

    Once you have them, please email them to LMPrev@microsoft.com with your information above.

    thanks!

  • Maikins - that sounds striking similar to the error I was getting (I didn't record the exact error code).  I exited Live Mesh (right click->exit) and then went and restarted it and the update then succeeded - maybe something to try.

  • Yep the error your seeing is a file is locked in use and the update couldn't complete.  Sometimes exiting and restarting is enough to get the file unlocked so the update completes next time through successfully.

    We're looking into the root cause of the problem though so it has a fix other then, "restart and try again" :)

    Same issue here both of My Vista PC's.  One is 32bit, other 64bit.

    Had virus software disabled, rebooted, same thing.

  • I ended up downloading the setup (add a device from live desktop) and used the /repair switch.  Worked perfectly on both PCs.

    Open a command prompt at the location of the LiveMesh.exe, and type LiveMesh.exe /repair

  • Hi Mike,

    Sorry you've run into another problem.  We're currently investigating a number of reports of Error 500.  We'll let you know as soon as we learn anything new.

    Thanks,

    Ben.

  • I have the same problem (error 80070020). I can't download the software manually to try to workaround, as the mesh.com server seems to be offline.

     Worked for me (from a NON-elevated command prompt). Thanks!
