Guest Bryan Elwood Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 Any idea what factors would cause all available high-priority updates for my Windows 2000 machine to fail to install? Under Custom installation, as soon as I press the Install Updates button, the Installing Updates dialog appears and reports that some (meaning all) updates were not installed. I then proceed to Check Your Update History. After checking several failed updates, I see the following common message Error Code: 0x80246008. Thanks for any suggestions, Bryan
Guest PA Bear Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 You may receive an error message that contains the "0x8DDD0018" code or the "0x80246008" code when you try to download updates from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site or from the Microsoft Update Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910337 See http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/browse_frm/thread/eb8851ec8e1ec8a0/b1e3d4881449a604 -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin DTS-L.org Bryan Elwood wrote: > Any idea what factors would cause all available high-priority updates for > my > Windows 2000 machine to fail to install?

Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 0x80246008 - Failed to create the IBackgroundCopyManager interface to BITS. The BITS service may have been disabled. Does that explain it ? Hardly <w> Which antivirus software is installed ? If it's a Symantec 'product', then that would explain how BITS became problematic.

Guest Bryan Elwood Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Thanks guys. Turned out that "Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions" was disabled, which in turn, disabled BITS. And I do have Norton AV. But all is well now. Thanks again, Bryan

Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Arline, Click on Start > then Run > type in services.msc Click OK (if Run is not on the Start menu, then either right click My Computer on the Desktop or Start Menu and choose Manage. Click the plus sign next to Services and Applications, then click on Services) In the right frame, scroll down to ' Window Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions ' Double click it and it's Properties window will open The ' Startup type ' drop down window *should* show as Manual If it's been Disabled, click the down arrow and set it to Manual, then click Apply, OK. Close the Services console [or Computer Management console if you chose the second method to access Services.] NOTE: There is also a ' Windows Management Instrumentation ' listed just above ' Window Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions '. That must be set to Automatic, AFAIK. Please do not confuse the two.
