Error Code 0x802246008 Install Failure

I am using Windows I.E. 8. Version 8.0.6001.18702ic and Windows XP Professional
Version 5.1.2600 SP 3 Build 2600.

For the last few weeks I have been unable to download any Microsoft updates.
I have tried various remedies i.e. registering Wups 2.dll and running Bits
which showed Error 126. I now have 41 critical updates to download.

Can anyone please help.

Recheck your error code. It has 9 characters, but error codes cannot exceed
8. It would also be useful if you identified in the body of the message the
error code and where in the install log the error happened.

BITS can be damaged by security software (Norton/McAfee/etc), by
malware, or due to hardware issues.


How do I reset Windows Update components?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

Go to the above page and click the Fix it icon.
*Save* the Fix it, do *not* run it with IE8 open, please.
Next, clean boot XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353
If you feel up to it, use Method 2. If not, follow the Guided Help.
Once the system has been booted to the clean state, run
MicrosoftFixit50202.msi by *right* clicking it and choosing
Install.
Restart the system after the Fixit finishes it's operation, leaving it
to clean boot once more.
See if the system can download and install the updates now.

If it can, UNdo the clean boot steps, restart to normal Windows mode,
and see if it can search for updates either on the WU|MU sites or by
clicking the Windows Update shortcut on the Start Menu.
