Bits not starting

Windows update is not working because Bits is not starting. This is the
error from the event log.

The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service terminated with
service-specific error 2147942402 (0x80070002).

File not found? What file is it looking for?

Right. I found the solution in another post by David_C...

regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll


The post suggests that inipki.dll registration was corrupted by removal of
antivirus software. This is very much true in my case. I recently
uninstalled Norton Anti-Virus.

Uninstalling anything Norton (Symantec) is a good thing to do.

Make sure you use regedit and search for Norton and Symantec and delete the
hundreds of registry entries they install.

AVG or AVAST are good anti virus applications.
