Hmmm .... I've tried out to find a solution.... Not succesful, I have 31
security updates pending on my XP SP2 and the Update download fails (0x5). I
haven't got it to work although I spent a lot of time on this. An example of
the failure is as follows from the WindowsUpdate.log:

DnldMgr *********** DnldMgr: New download job [UpdateId =
{A13230F5-0B6A-4857-9E4E-6B5FC174A319}.100] ***********
DnldMgr * Queueing update for download handler request generation.
DnldMgr Generating download request for update
{A13230F5-0B6A-4857-9E4E-6B5FC174A319}.100
Handler Windows Patch download for UpdateId =
{A13230F5-0B6A-4857-9E4E-6B5FC174A319}: selected action is download express
(delta).
Handler Updateci: WinSEUpdateHandler::_Inventory: Installer returned 0x5 (5)
Handler FATAL: UH: 0x80070005: Inventory failed
Handler FATAL: UH: 0x80070005: GetNextRequiredFiles failed
Handler FATAL: UH: 0x80070005: GetRequiredFilesForSandboxState failed
DnldMgr FATAL: DM:CAgentDownloadManager::GenerateAllDownloadRequests:
GenerateDownloadRequest failed with 0x80070005.
DnldMgr Error 0x80070005 occurred while downloading update; notifying
dependent calls.

What is that about?

Grateful for tips!

(I can download and install new updates but not those damned 31). Is this a
authority problem? I have checked, but it didn't help....

Best regards / Axel
