In preparing to add SP2 by free CD, I wanted to download all the pending
updates before I did anything else. My download bombed, possibly with
KB888302, and I saw the 80070005.
I read each entry about this wierd error message and appreciate all of you.
Finally, I decided to select Start/Run/%windir%\inf to see what I might find
in my Windows HP-Home. I found branches.inf, right clicked it and selected
Properties. I noted that neither the Read or Hide boxes were checked. I
checked Read and that activated Apply. Then I checked Hide. Then I
unchecked Read and Hide and selected the Apply button.
Can you believe that after doing those things all pending updates downloaded
without a problem? Indeed they did!
So can anyone make sense of this? A bobble in a DSL download? A fish that
went over the dam? Or?
