Since this blog may come up on search results about Windows Update issues, I'm going to release a temporary beta. It doesn't expire, I'm not responsible if anything bad should happen, and it isn't finished or perfect by any means.

Disclaimer: No, I really mean it. It may not fix your issue. It may break your computer. Your PC could catch on fire. Maybe you hair. Heck, this program could ruin your love life. Meteors could strike the earth! It could cause the end of time! No matter what happens, it's not my fault. Use at your own risk!!! I mean it.

That said, if you get an error message, please email me with the EXACT text of the message. There are a couple of errors that mention CCleaner that I do not need to be told about - they'll almost always occur. It may also need you to download runtime files - I'll try to post those, but email me about it in the meantime.

Daunted yet? Good. Give it a shot, and email me if it works for you, too.

Download that file by right-clicking on it and choosing Save Target As... in IE, or a similar option if you are smart and use Firefox or the new Netscape 8.

I'll have source available when the project is stable. If you want to help, use an email link above.
