site: "0x80245003"

The "workaround" offered by microsoft does not work. Maybe you might have a
suggestion that works. I've tried many and feel that the true problem began
when I downloaded the Beta Defender. Uninstalling it does not help,
reinstalling it does not help....all the suggestions offered this far DO NOT
HELP!

Here are two possibilities namely the temporary folder of WU has become
corrupted/damaged and also the the ActiveX control has corrupted.

1. Rename the SoftwareDistribution folder (it will be recreated next time you visit
WU again)
You will lose your history but that's not important.

Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.

Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder:
a. Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%, and then click OK.
b. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.
c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this folder.

Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a moment.

2. How to remove a corrupted Active X control
Start IE and then click Tools/Internet Options
On the General Tab choose Settings under Temporary Internet Files
Then click on View Objects.
Right Click WuWebControl Class and choose remove
Right Click MuWebControl Class and choose remove

Now you need to delete the files from your hard drive, locate and delete the files
c:\windows\system32\wuweb.dll and c:\windows\system32\muweb.dll
Now revisit WU and redownload the activex controls

3. Finally if you want to force a detection cycle in AU then close IE
Now click on Start and select Run
Type wuauclt.exe /detectnow in the Open box and click OK
Try the WU again

TaurArian, your post is extremely helpful.
I found a problem however in removing the corrupted ActiveX control.
Following your instructions I get to WuWebControl Class, but there is no
MuWebControl Class entry.
On right clicking WuWebContol Class there is no remove option. It's
properties indicate that it's two files are damaged.
Can you help please ?

If you need to reinstall the ActiveX controls (because they may have become
corrupt):-

Download this file and save to the desktop, then extract the files to a temporary
folder.
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v6...gent20-x86.exe

Open the temp folder, right-click Wusetup.inf, and then click Install.

Reboot.

If that hasn't help, then, Click Start, click Run, type: %windir%\System32

Delete the following files:
.. Cdm.dll
.. Iuengine.dll
.. Wuapi.dll
.. Wuauclt.exe
.. Wuauclt1.exe
.. Wuaucpl.cpl
.. Wuaueng.dll
.. Wuaueng1.dll
.. Wucltui.dll
.. Wups.dll
.. Wuweb.dll

Go back to your temporary file and again right-click Wusetup.inf and then click
install.

Reboot.

If you are unsure about deleting files - you can always move them to a temporary
location.

Thanks again TaurArian for your help.
Could you please advise whether your instructions are tested for Vista
application. My Vista RC2 won't accept installation.

I do appreciate your detailed and easy to understand messages, and will
remain a devoted fan.
