Windows Update error with Vista

[Tony]

When running Windows Update in Vista, I receive error code 80200053. I cannot
locate a description for this error code anywhere. What can I do to resolve
this error? Thanks.

What is the context of the code?
Try searching in any files that the update modified for that code and
the equivalent values in other representations such
2149580883 (when that hex string is treated as a Qword and then
converted to decimal) or -2145386413 (when it is treated as a signed
Dword and then converted to decimal.) You might also find reference
to the decimal equivalent of its lower half, 83.

Hmm... (searching for other codes in the same range) it looks as if your code
may be an undocumented BITS error:

<title> BITS Return Values (Windows) </title>
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa362823.aspx

In that case it might be an idea to run bitsadmin /monitor /allusers
concurrently the next time you try to use it. I'd still be most hopeful though
just seeing the context of the code in the log. Usually there is supplementary
information given when a code is reported.

Cross-post to BITS in case 80200053 already has meaning for its specialists.
