Re: Error 0x80070005 at Windows Update!

Don't know if it applies to other incidents since ACCESS_DENIED is a

very generic error code, but we had the same problem on a XP Pro

machine (Windows Update failed downloading with 0x80070005, exact same

error messages in WindowsUpdate.log).

 

In our case we found that the particular machine had an EFS encrypted

CAT file in

%WinDir%\system32\CatRoot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}. The

CAT file belonged to a Cisco WLAN driver, but I guess this is

secondary.

 

Removing encryption with the CAT file fixed the problem. Windows update

now downloads and installs updates as usual.
