Error message when you try to install updates by using the Windows Update Web

site: "0x80245003"

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919749

 

If the above does not work, do the following:

 

Rename the SoftwareDistribution folder (it will be recreated next time you

visit WU again)

You will lose your history but that's not important.

 

Click Start, Choose Run.

In the Run box, type services.msc.

Click OK.

Right-click the Automatic Updates service.

Click Stop.

Stopping the service will take a moment.

 

Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder:

a. Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%, and then click OK.

b. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.

c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this folder.

 

Click Start. Choose Run.

In the Run box, type services.msc.

Click OK.

Right-click the Automatic Updates service.

Click Start.

Starting the service will take a moment.

 

You can delete the renamed file "After" you've installed updates.
