Windows vista missing files.

vf1000ride · 04-September-07, 07:25 PM

Hopefully somebody can lend me a hand with this one. I am attempting to repair a vista machine for one of the guys at work. The kids had it and all kinds of stuff don't work. Anyhow, I seem to be missing the windows update file "wuapp.exe" I suspect it should normally be in the win/system32 folder but it's gone. I can't run win update and it's starting to get annoying. If any of you guys are running vista home basic and shoot me off a copy of that file. I'd be greatly thankful.

Here ya go.

I'm running Home Premium but I don't think it should make a difference.

wuapp.zip

WooHoo, now I can get on the windows update site. Hopefully things will decide to work better now.

I did a search of my system, Vista 32-bit Home Premium, and I
don't have that file. Hopefully eascarface's file works for you :-)
