RE: Error = 0xC8003f3

OK. I fixed this problem and here is how I did it.

1. First, I again performed the following:
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll /s
net stop wuauserv
cd /d %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
rd /s /q DataStore
net start wuauserv

2. This resulted in the following errors in WindowsUpdate.log:

0x80240013
0x8024400a
0x80240017

3. Next, I registered the following:

regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 mssip32.dll

4. Then I recieved the following errors in WindowsUpdate.log:

0x80070008
0x80240017

5. Finally, I performed the following:

Stopped the Automatic Update service
Renamed the SoftwareDistribution folder in C:\Windows to
SoftwareDistribution.old
Started the Automatic Update service.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Superb! Great many thanx.

After many hours of trying MS's many small "fix-apps" back and forth without getting any wiser....I finally found an errorcode in the log that led me to this saviour.

Thank you.
