Error 0x80246008 -Is there a solution?

Howdy all,
I get this error when trying to do any sort of windows update for the past
few months and it has finally annoyed me enough to post about it.
I have several updates available and when i click install the whole list
just scrolls by and they all say failed. I get error 0x80246008 when i click
on the install history. That window just sys to try the update again.

Is there a fix for this? I can download them manually and install just fine
but it's a pain with 10 or 15 updates.

This error may occur if one or more of the following services are disabled or
unavailable. Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) Event Log
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...icleid=9&ln=en
or
http://update.microsoft.com/windowsu...=en&IsMu=False

The necessary services are disabled or unavailable. Error 0x80246008

This error may occur if the Background Intelligent Transfer Service is not enabled.
Note: Even if you are not using the Automatic Updates feature, the service must be
enabled for Windows Update.

If you can't get Bits started, then delete the two files in:

C:\Documents and Settings\AllUsers\ApplicationData\Microsoft\Networ k\Downloader

by opening a command prompt window, and key in (or copy/paste):
rd /q /s "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader"
hit ENTER

Now key in:
net start BITS
and hit ENTER

Now try starting the Background Intelligent Transfer Service

You may need to re-register the files previously mentioned.

PS hopefully MS will correct their error - qmgrproxy.dll

Justin H just posted this :-

<snip>
I've come back to this every now and again, and I finally fixed this one
last night. I pursued some avenues based on some of the other symptoms
I was experiencing, such as Search not being fully functional.

In the end, I'm not sure which of the two procedures did it, but here
they are. In an attempt to fix search, I did the following:

regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll

And in an attempt to fix possible problems with security providers I
also did the following:

regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll

After a reboot, I now have BITS up and running and have successfully
used Windows Updates.

Thanks for the help, and I hope this helps others.
