Hello,

Since I re-installed my Windows XP home,


Re-installed how? Which version? E.g. base or XPsp2?
If the latter you probably don't need the update you are trying to install
and in that case the error message would probably be bogus.

That update was a sort of a bootstrap for XPsp1 users to install
BITS for WUv5 so they could download and install XPsp2.



I receive the "file corrupt"
message everytime I try to install the "Update for Background Intelligent
Transfer Service... KB842773" from either Windows Update or with manually
downloading at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=b93356b1-ba43-480f-983d-eb19368f9047&displaylang=en

I also did try the below actions : ---->
1. Stopping "Automatic Update Service" by typing "services.msc" in the run
box.
2. Deleting the contents of both the DataStore, EventCache and Download
folders in my SoftwareDistribution folder. (Cleaning out the Download folder
for WU5)


If you are already using WUv5 my guess is that you already have
the necessary version of BITS installed (if not also active)
and don't need that update.


3. Starting "Automatic Update Service" by typing "services.msc" in the run
box.

It didn't work. I still receive "file corrupt" message when I try to install
KB842773. That also stops me proceeding to SP2 I think or other necessary
updates!!??

Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks


Well, what versions of the modules that the update documents
do you have installed now?

A simple way of checking and doing other diagnostics for BITS as well
would be to run (in a cmd window):

bitsadmin /util /version /verbose


Good luck
