Error Installing new security updates

I installed the "slew" of security updates windows put out on 10/12/04, but
some of them failed to install. The ones that failed were:

KB...
841356, 873376, 840987, 841533
and the BITS update (883357)

They all had an error code of 80070005. I looked through the knowledge base
and found no mention of this error. I have yet to install SP2 yet, could
that be why? Or is there something else?
Thanks.

Hi

Please try the steps in this trouble shooting article::

This error message may occur if you have insufficient permissions to
the Windows Update registry keys. The WindowsUpdate.log file will also
read errors 0x80070005 and 0x80080005.

If that doesn't work, reset the security settings on the BITS service and see
if it helps:

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...TNGP12.phx.gbl

(the "sc sdset bits ..." part in the link above)


Then, after the above, do the following:

Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following command:

regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll
