Not sure why I seem to always get new Error messages but does anyone know
what these mean? Downloading Installer 3.1 I started with a 0x8024600A and
now get 0x80246001 everytime when I retry which is the ever helpful
suggestion.

Frist time round update also attempted to install several other updates but
they all failed with 0x8024600A, I guess I need the new Installer to be able
to try to download these again. Therein lies a problem :-)
