I believe that I have a corrupted WU in Vista. I did a system restore with no
effect. I followed the advice to rename the SoftwareDistribution folder but
it would not allow me to. I created another folder moved what it allowed me
to that folder and that did not work. I went to the services.msc and could
not find Automatic Updates to turn off. It seems no matter what I do I get
the error message when trying to update. Any thoughts? I apreciate your
assitance!

Helo Dan,

Just out of interest? So does the same thing happen when you reboot into
Safe Mode to then rename the folder?

I get error message 80073715 while trying to install KB925902
I have windows vista business 32 bit, it arrived last week, and have had
this error from day one. I spent 2 -1/2 hours on the phone with MS to no
avail. They said they would call me back, but have not.
I tried many of the steps suggested, and it did not work for me.

I have the same problem as Dan. I did a system restore because my network
icon disappeared from the notification area of my taskbar and I thought it
might fix it - it did, but I got error 80245003 when trying to do Windows
update. I tried renaming SoftwareDistribution and encountered the same
problems as Dan. I turned off Nortons to do the system restore, because it
wouldn't work until I did that. I undid the restore, but don't really know
where to go from here?

i had the sae probem , and through many hours of messing round, i think ive
spotted the problem.
check your C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files
or something like that...
heck it for damaged files, i.e. right click, then properties
look around this menu for a dependency tab, and see if that says damaged

mine was an
'shock wave flash object'

i saw a tutorial sawing to delete any damaged files in this directory, and
then restart and try again.
however, you cant delete them.
im still searching for a way
if i find one ill post again.
