BITS Service missing on Vista 32

I tried to install Updates for Windows Vista 32. Error 80246008 notified me
about BITS. The BITS service is not present in the services list (control
panel). I tried to reinstall using “bitsadmin /util /REPAIRSERVICE /FORCE�.
The OS replied :

BITSADMIN version 3.0 [ 7.0.6000 ]
BITS administration utility.
(C) Copyright 2000-2006 Microsoft Corp.

This command cannot be executed on this version of the operating system.

Please advice.
Thank you!!

Rgdz, Kees.

No, I have spent 4 hours searching for solutions before starting this thread.
Solutions you are suggesting involve a correctly installed BITS service. On
my computer, this seems not to be the case.

BITS Service is not running, nor is it visible in the services list.

Thank you for your suggestions:

Bits Repair Tool - The BITS repair tool cannot fix the error (The specified
service does not exist as an installed service..)
Also the patch / update for the crashes doesn't work..
