Error 80070003 on Windows Updates

Hi,

Automatic updates fail, when I force a Windows update, it fails, and when I
download the individual update and execute it, that fails too. I have
renamed Catroot2, the Allusers..../network directory exists, I have checked
the "ProgramFiles" entries in the registry, I have cleaned out the
SoftwareDistribution/datastore and /download directories, I've done virus
scans, Adaware scans, Spybot scans, and HyjackThis scans, I've even done a
repair install of XP Pro and reinstalled SP2, and a bunch of other stuff I
can't remember right now. I still can't get this system to update. All
other computers on the network are fine. Any help would be greatly
appreciated, because as I see it the only course of action I have left is to
format C:\ and start over. Please don't try to contact me via email, since
the email account that is tied to this login gets nothing but SPAM. I'll
check back in this forum.

Here is the bottom of the windows update log...

You receive error message 0x80070003 when you try to update Windows from the Windows
Update Web site

http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBQ/tip8000/rh8024.htm
When you attempt to update Windows XP from the Windows Update Web site, you receive
error 0x80070003?




0x80070003 -2147024893 COR_E_DIRECTORYNOTFOUND
The specified path couldn't be found - ALLUSERSPROFILE Microsoft network dir doesn’t
exist



If the above doesn’t assist, suggestion by Torgeir Bakken (MVP)

If the directory "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network"
does not exist, you will get this error.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE% is normally "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users"

To verify existence/create this folder, you can do like this:

Press Start/Run, and fill in this:

"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft"

Press OK, and the Microsoft folder will open.

If no Network folder is found there, create it (File\New --> Folder).

I have the same problem. Here some information about my case:

Update: KB885835
Error code: 80070003

My Windows XP Professional version is Portuguese (Brazil). I followed these
steps.

-> http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=836949
You receive error message 0x80070003 when you try to update Windows from the
Windows Update Web site

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion
ProgramFilesDir=C:\Arquivos de programas
ProgramFilesPath=%ProgramFiles%

On my computer I have the folder C:\Arquivos de programas\WindowsUpdate and
this folder has only the folder V4.
I realized that the WU URL is http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com (version
5?). Can that be a problem?

I´ve downloaded the stand alone version of this patch but the same error
ocurred when trying to install it. Follow the log for this KB:

Hi

Please try this:

Clean out the Download folder (WU5's temporary download folder)
located here:

%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\

(%windir% is typically C:\Windows)

You can use the procedure described here:

http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...cleid=11&ln=en

You may need to delete the DataStore folder mentioned in the link
above, as well as the Download folder.

Just got the same problem. Many updates wont install with the
0x80070003 error. tried all above but no avail.

Just found that the "FILE" $hf_mig$ (Yes a file, not a directory)
under \windows directory should also be deleted to help this out.

Now everything updates smoothly.

LB

0x80070003 = COR_E_DIRECTORYNOTFOUND
The specified path couldn't be found - ALLUSERSPROFILE Microsoft network dir doesn't
exist


Make sure the following folders exist under %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\
Note: (%windir% = C:\Windows)

DataStore\
Download\
EventCache\
SelfUpdate\
WebSetup\
WuRedir\

%windir%\$hf_mig$ folder

It should be a Folder?

I had all the problems in this thread and deleted the %windir%\$hf_mig$
FOLDER, not file , and the updates then worked perfectly.

I've also had installation problem with just one "KB896358". It installed
successfully after I deleted it from the "$hf_mig$" folder. You may just
have to delete the file of the update(s) that you're hvind trouble with, not
the entire folder.
