windows module installer error 126
Hi.
I have vista 32bit with no service packs installed. (this all started when I tryed to install microsoft updates)
Sfc scannow doesnt work, which led me to windows module installer not being started, and when I try to start it it gives me error 126 not found.
I cant find a fix for this on google. Ive been trying for hours. Can someone please help? (My question is can you help me get windows module installer started so I can install updates and other things on my moms computer)
