1. First install the newly released 'standalone' version of Windows Update
Agent 3.0, v7.0.6000.374
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932494
2. Now (re)install this (updated) fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891
NB: Windows Update/Automatic Updates started offering 927891 on 22 May-07.
If "Update for [Windows XP] (KB927891)" is listed in Add/Remove Programs
(make sure Show Updates box is checked), it's already installed. cf.

Hi, I looked but in my registry I did not even have that entry. Of course I
can make an entry for it and set it to zero, but I think I have the firwall
off alreay in the security center. Do you have the same error code 0x80004002? |

Thanks for the guide. The first update, 932494, was able to download, but the
Windows Update Agent was already installed in my system.
And I did not have the second one already installed, so I installed it,
rebooted, tried the following for the remaining updates: AU turn on ->after
download shutdown windows, none of the updates was installed. Also tried
stop au service, remove softwareDistribution dir, restart service, and
manually click express install on WU page, same thing.
At the end of KB#####.log generalted by the shutdown update, I have
0.703: Update.exe extended error code = 0xf201 "
At the end of windowsupdates.log, I have similar errors as yetersday:

Here is what I did
1. first installed KB927891, as suggested by PA Bear, reboot, but it did not
totally fixed the problem but in windowsupdates.log one error about msi.dll
was gone.
2. did the registry modification---I did not even have the firewall key but
I created it and set it to zero.
3. I also stopped wu service and registered the DLLs, and then rebooted.
(This fix was suggested by someone else on this forum. I found it by
searching my error code. But I did it yesterday it did solve the problem on
its own.)
viola, windowsupdate website prompted me to install some "windows component
publishing" update first, after that all of the 78 updates started to
install. Only 2 failed and after reboot a couple of times my windows is up to
date!!! The above 3 things were all I did today to fix the problem, I am not
sure which ones were the key but I think somehow the firewall settings
probably made a different. Thanks very much!

I've found this solution useful for a similar situation but with errors code
0x80240022 and 0x80240022.
Anyway, the solution fail the first time. I've stopped the antovirus (panda
Software9 install only one update and after reboot all worked fine. |

I solved my problem last night but thanks for the info. I have Kaspersky in
my case. When I had the problems, I always shut it down; but after the
problem was solved AUs have no problem to run. The details of what I did are
in my 2nd post in reply to "power point". Good luck everyone. |

worked perfectly for me.
i.e
Register wups2.dll and force windows update agent to install.
All my 80+ updates went on no trouble, |

I had the Same problem...
it fixed sucssesfly after install the newly released 'standalone' version of
Windows Update Agent 3.0, Downloaded from
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932494)
--thanks to PA Bear-- , but it couldn't be installed, because it was exist.
So I get use of the (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144) -- Thanks Neill
-- the following Command forced it to install:
C:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce
Without restarting, firewall (enable or disable), antivirus (enable or

wow, i had some virus or malware or spyware problem that really set me back,
automatic updates werent working either, i reinstalled (upgrade) my xp sp2
and it still didnt work, i tried some other solutions i found that were
also mentioned earlier on involving many steps but nothing really worked, of
course im probably saying this to early, as i havent restarted yed, but
auttomatic updates just finished intalling, including defender updates.. and
that was a really simple solution to my problem from the command line, thanks
alot, i was about to do a complete reinstall of my whole system, which would
have set me back a week or more. |
