Hi,

Error 80248007 is:

SUS_E_DS_NODATA
"The caller asked for data that is not in the data store"

Rename (or just delete) the SoftwareDistribution folder and
see if it helps.

You can use the procedure described here:

http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5consumer/showarticle.aspx?articleid=21&ln=en

Note that a side effect of renaming or deleting the
SoftwareDistribution folder is that you lose your Windows Update
History listing (not critical).

(later on, you can just delete the renamed SoftwareDistribution
folder)

I have the same situation where about a dozen security updates failed to
install and list this error message. The link for the fix no longer
functions. Any further help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same problem in Vista Home Premium 64x. I could update just after
installing windows however after a few days this error started to popup. Now
that i have changed network cards (due to another issue) the error is still
there. I tried to access the help page provided however it seems as though it
has been moved. Could you please re direct me to the site or provide further
info here?

My Vista Ultimate 32bit works fine updating from the net but gives this error
when I try using WSUS, which I also administrate. Any body else manage to get
Vista updating from WSUS?

Any Ideas?

On Vista, try to manually scan for updates before installing them via the
Windows Update applet in Control Panel. If the problem persists, you may do
the following in a command prompt and then reboot the computer to get
unwedged:

net stop wuauserv
rd %Windir%\softwaredistribution /s /q
