Re: W2K Updates Will Download (or so it looks that way) but Won't Inst

Ever since I had to uninstall Norton SystemWorks 2004, Updates has not worked. I have scoured this discussion group looking at many of the past fixes and trying most, if not all of them to no avail. I have at least gotten Updates to download updates, which it wasn't doing before - so we have progressed a step. The updates just won't install. Here's some info from the Windows Update Log:

Update service properties: service registered with AU is {7971F918-A847-4430-9279-4A52D1EFE18D}
DnldMgr: New download job [UpdateId = {06FFDEFE-4EC8-4CCB-BA70-86C7054B2AC6}.100] ***********

Hi,

You have an issue with the BITS service.

Please try this:

Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll"     (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following command:

regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll


If the above did not help, check this one:

Error 0x80246008 during the download process

A comment to the procedure in the link above:
You only need to add BITS to the list of services if the value) is missing.
