Robert,

I am currently using Windows XP Professional Version 5.1 (Build
2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254: Service Pack 2). Currently I'm not connected
through the university network, but through a neighbor who graciously doesn't
mind my using their wireless connectivity. As far as they've told me they
are not running any proxy or firewall, and I can connect to the
internet/sites just fine. So, if there is anything it's coming from the ISP
directly, because I too do not have any firewall setup.

As for the WindowsUpdate folder, the entirety of my C:\Program
Files\WindowsUpdate directory is empty. No information or files of any kind
are in there. Not sure if that is a problem or if it is even relevant, but
I figured someone might know why that is the case.


<LOL/> I didn't even know that existed. Apparently it was created when
WUv4 was superseded by WUv5. E.g. here is what I have in it:

2006-06-24 17:05 2,323 iuhist_catalogAdmin.xml

Windows Update Catalog was using WUv4 for some time after the switch.
I guess that must have been the last time I visited that site using that
version of the software.



Earlier in the post I mentioned the full error that I was first getting:
0x80072EFD.
My apologies if it caused any confused when I shortened that later on in the
message. However, I re-checked the two resolution methods for that specific
error and, to be honest, I'm not sure where I got the stuff about the v4
folder from either. I was just kind of checking any possibly relevant
article on the help, and can't even find it again. However, I followed the
0x80072EFD resolution method steps: updating my trusted sites list and
checking my hosts file and flushing the DNS. Hopefully that gives you a
little bit better description of the issues.


It still doesn't show me where you are seeing that information.
E.g. if you are seeing it in a browser window, copy the URL
from its Address bar. E.g. press Alt-d,Ctrl-c and then
paste it in a reply. Also, I would expect there to be a similar
article more specifically related to the second code 0x80190193
which is the Subject of this thread.


If there is any other
information you'd need, please let me know. Thanks for your help.


I'm not at all clear on the context of this code with what you are doing.
E.g. you're only vaguely hinting that the symptom occurs after connecting
and probably when downloading but it isn't even clear whether *any* downloading
is occurring. If that's the case the particular update you are trying to download
might be a factor. E.g. if your Windows was not validated there might be
updates which you would not be allowed to download and that might
account for a symptom which means "Not authorized".

Presumably you can see some sign of it in the WindowsUpdate.log
(ref. KB902093). Note that you could activate verbose logging
if necessary. Also, you could run ProcMon to supplement whatever
details any logging provides.


HTH

Robert
