Thank you TaurArian;

I did your suggestions and the results are--

Sug1 : Not good, same result, i.e., same error...
Sug4 : Cannot install it because there is already it...

Any other solutions?

Presumably Sug3&4 were also considered.
Check point - is BITS started?

Hmm...
1. I have no kind of [Windows Update blocking] and [Web Accelerator] you've
mentioned.
2. When I try sug4, it say that 'there is already Windows Update Agent, so
cannot go a head install'

BH,

Looks like you're going to have to do some diagnosis then.

E.g. previous threads suggest that that code has something to do
with problems on the link but we don't know exactly what since it
isn't documented (at least in the usual places).

I suspect if you took a packet trace you would find that something
(e.g. a proxy server or firewall) was returning an HTTP error response.


BTW since you are piggybacking on this thread and providing no details
I am making no assumptions whatsoever about what may or may not be
appropriate for your particular case. The least you could do to help I think
is answer the question that TaurArian asked you.


Good luck

Robert Aldwinckle
