Re: please help error 0x800703e3

Well, if you have the XP sp2 disc, you could reinstall, then update.
There is a small collection of "0x800703e3" posters at this link:

You are at the top. Nigel (the last thread there) reinstalled sp2,
and that solved it. It took a few weeks before he got desperate
enough to try that. If you can do it, don't be in any rush to do it.

i did replace it,i did what you told me to do and once again it says the
installation failed with error "0x800703e3"
so i didn't do the restart since the windows update agent 30-x86 was not
installed.
i cannot install any windows update agent because always the install failes
with that error.i also tried earlier to install windows update agent 20-x86
with the same unfortunate results.:(
...:(

well, something must be really wrong because not even the trick worked.
i did what you told me, click start >run > regsvr wuaueng.dll
and it told me that windows can't find the "regsvr"

That's okay , since the command is regsvr32 and not regsvr. So replace
mindfully "regsvr" in Micheal's posting with "regsvr32" ;)

is it a problem that my windows version is in greek?

Nope, but that may be an important information for any further step
beyond.

Bye,
Freudi
