I was having the same problem when pusing updates from our WSUS server. Replacing the the OSE had no effect. I did however find that our problem was with MSI.

I installed the newest version of Microsoft Installer(4.5) and the updates pushed fine.

Here OSE.exe didn’t start with method 1. I did get the message that OSE.exe didn’t exsist. After a good look in the registry I saw that the pathname didn’t match. (search for OSE.exe in the registry) After I corrected the pathname (in my case “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Source Engine\OSE.exe”)I started OSE.exe again and now I’ll get all the updates without any errors!

I had the same problem with Office 2007 and Vista x64.

I fix the problem by changing the service state of Microsoft.NET Framework NGEN v2.0.50727_X64 to Manuel.

We had a similar problem sitewite, it looks like that the Automatic update service doesn’t have the correct permissions to start, The best way to solve this is:

Group policy –> Domain Policy (Default) –> Edit –> Computer configuration –> windows settings –> security settings –> system services –> double click automatic updates and select automatic then edit security and make sure system has full control.

i dont have the OSE running indeed it is not even on my computer, but i still get this error. all of the solutions that are available will not work because they do not apply to the situation. it would be nice if someone out there could REALLY identify the problem.
