Recommended Posts

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.
