Hi,

Usually, this error is caused because of the corrupted SoftwareDistribution
folder. Rename it, following the steps below:

Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter

--> net stop WuAuServ

--> Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press
Enter.

--> In the opened folder, rename the folder
SoftwareDistribution to SDold.

--> Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter.

--> net start WuAuServ.

--> Tried Windows Update again.

Regards,

Anton Pegan

Have been trying to download KB898461 for over 5 months. Always get this
error code. What can I do to remedy this situation?
