Guest WinTech Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 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.
