Hi

The 0x80244001 error is most likely a MSXML installation problem.


Register MSXML3.dll and see if it helps:

1. Click Start.

2. Choose Run.

3. In the Run box, type (or copy/paste from this post)

%windir%\system32\regsvr32.exe %windir%\system32\MSXML3.dll

(note the space there in the middle)

4. Click OK.


If that didn't help, try this:

Unless you have installed Windows XP SP2, download and install
Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) 3.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4) and see if
it helps.

In the link below, set the correct language for your OS and press the
Go button (in the upper right corner). Then download and run the
msxml3xxx.msi file found at the bottom of Web page (msxml3usa.msi
for English OS).

I had the same error # and registering MSXML3.dll did not help to me, I
downloaded the msxml3usa but still nothing. Running out of ideas here ... any
other thoughts ???

Hi

You could try the steps in this post to try to get WU to work:

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...TNGP14.phx.gbl


If nothing there worked, try the steps in this post:

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...tngp13.phx.gbl

If that didn't work either, check that WuWebControlClass is enabled in
Internet Explorer:
