(From Microsoft Update)

I keep recieving the above message each time I open Microsoft Update. I have
searched on the newsgroups for solutions, went to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919749/en-us and have not been able to solve
this!

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Conor

This worked for me,
1. Rename the Update temporary folders.
===================================
1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following
command in the opened window.

Net stop WuAuServ

2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.
3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.
4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following
command in the opened window.

Net start WuAuServ

2. Remove the corrupted Active X control
=====================================
1. Open Interent Options
2. On the General Tab choose Settings under Temporary Internet Files
3. Then click on View Objects.
4. Right Click WuWebControl Class and choose remove
5. Right Click MuWebControl Class and choose remove
6. Delete the file c:\windows\system32\wuweb.dll
7. Delete the file c:\windows\system32\muweb.dll

The above steps will help us remove the ActiveX controls for Windows Update
and Microsoft Update. Then will download a new one to instead of the
corrupted one.

Is this a hopelessly naive question? How does something like thos get
corrupted in the first place?

When a new one gets downloaded, is there any way to be sure that it is
ok?

For any of you who try the steps below, and still have the problem. I found
an alternative solution that has solved this issue on 3 computers already.
Since I banged my head against the table for so long on this issue, I thought
I'd put the solution that helped me here.


I downloaded the wuredist.cab from ->
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa387285.aspx


Inside that cabinet file there's a xml file that has the links to download
the new version of the windows update agent ->

<architecture name="x86" clientVersion="7.0.6000.374"
downloadUrl="http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe"/>
<architecture name="x64" clientVersion="7.0.6000.374"
downloadUrl="http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe"/>
<architecture name="ia64" clientVersion="7.0.6000.374"
downloadUrl="http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-ia64.exe"/>
<MUAuthCab RevisionId="6"
DownloadURL="http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/MUAuth.cab"/>



I downloaded the x86 version WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe and installed it.
Installing this new version fixed the problems and solved the error
0x80245003 issue.
