Error 0x8024D00C Solution

I also kept receiving the error message 0x8024D00C. Update would not work for
me either and I couldn’t download SP2. After working with Microsoft for a few
days we were able to resolve the problem. I have listed the solutions below.
Some or all the recommendations may apply to you or. But it won’t hurt to do
everything as listed. I hope I have been able to help someone. If this
doesn’t work for you, I’m sorry. Please don’t criticize my solution because
it came from several sources as well as Microsoft.

The following programs can affect the connection to the Windows Update site
and I suggest we remove or disable them:

Download Accelerator
GetRight
Browser Blaster

BitTorrent
eMule

Sygate Personal Firewall
Norton Internet Security
Freedom Firewall
Zone Alarm Firewall

If you have any other similar programs such as a pop-up blocker, please also
temporarily remove or disable it to test the issue.
-----------------------------
This issue can occur if three services have not been configured correctly.
Please refer to the following steps to check them:

1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the
open box and click OK.
2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".
3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local System account"
is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is
unchecked.

4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If
not, please click the Enable button to enable it.
5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic".
Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the
service.
6. Please repeat the above steps with another service: Background
Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
------------------------------
This behavior can also occur if the temporary folder of Windows Update
contains corrupted files. In this situation, we can resolve this problem by
following the steps below.

1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Type in "net stop WuAuServ"
(without quotations) and press Enter. You will receive a message stating the
Automatic Updates service was stopped successfully.

2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.
3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to SDold.

4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Type in "net start WuAuServ"
(without quotations) and press Enter to restart the Automatic Updates
service.
-------------------------------
Finally:
1. Click Start, Run, type: notepad C:\register.bat and press Enter. Choose
Yes when you are prompted.
2. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad
window.

Net stop wuauserv
Net stop bits
regsvr32 /U wuweb.dll
regsvr32 /U iuctl.dll
ren %windir%\system32\wuweb.dll wuwebOLD.dll
ren %windir%\system32\iuctl.dll iuctlold.dll
ren %windir%\system32\iuengine.dll iuengineOLD.dll
Net start wuauserv
Net start bits
exit

3. After you paste the above commands, please close the Notepad window.
Choose Yes when you are prompted to save the file.
4. Click Start, Run, type: C:\register.bat and press Enter to run the
commands we have pasted.

Then please try to visit the Windows Update site to test the issue again.

This should solve the problem.

Service Pack 2:

If you are having the same problems downloading and installing SP2, you can
go the following link to manually download SP2:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

1. Copy this link to your Internet Explorer address bar and press enter.
2. In pop-up window, choose save. Save it to a proper location such as
Desktop for easy reference.
3. Please directly install it after downloading.

Since Service Pack 2 is a large package to download, if you connect to the
Internet using a modem, it will take some time and sometimes the connection
will be lost. So I recommend we first download SP2 to the local computer and
then install.

I hope I have been helpful.

This helped me (some). My toolbar was Earthlink and removing it helped, so
add it to the list.
Renaming the Software Distribution file and the batch file stuff also
helped. Then after 3 trips to Windows update I got the BITS thing first,
then another update, then 17 more, then on my 4th trip to Windows Update I
was finally offered SP2. Unfortunately after 3 more tries it has not
successfully downloaded. This last time I got Error Code: 0x8024402C
and thats as far as I can get.

Tried all of your solutions but none were successful. However the most
helpful was providing the link to just download it and install it. That I
hope will solve some of the other problems. Thanks.
