Error Code: 800703E7

When trying to update to SP2, both via the Update page and automatic updates,
it fails with Error Code: 800703E7

The only references I can find to this error are about Media Player.

Any suggestions?

I am having the same code, nothing on google (exceptthe media player thing)
contacted MS so fingers crossed. My laptop on the same network loaded no
problem.

Hi

For the error code 800710D9, try this:

Place the text below in a .bat (batch) file (e.g. paste it into a new
notepad document and save it with e.g. the name fixdb.bat)

Then run the batch file by double clicking on it.

You should run the batch file just after a reboot of the computer (as
the first thing).

The batch file will tell you when it is finished.

Please post any result back here, good or bad :-)

Start batch file:

I have been experiencing this same problem and tried the batch file
workaround. It ran okay, but I'm still getting the same errors when
installing SP2. Thanks for trying, though!

I am also having Error Code: 800703E7. I can find no mention of this error
anywhere. This post is the only time that I could even find a match to this
error code.

All workarounds needed to resolve this error.

Have received same error code and after following it through eventually was
directed to the microsoft web site howtotell.com
Basically I think this code is detailing faulty or copied software.

I'm receiving this same error running a perfectly legit copy of XP Home that
I received with my Dell Dimension 8200. Are you saying that Windows thinks I
have a pirated copy?

Also submitted a problem ticket to Microsoft... Nothing back yet (certainly
not holding my breath!).
