First updates Failed - 0x80200011

First updates on this laptop. Tried 7 times now with same failed result.

Windows XP Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130) 07 October
2007 Windows Update
Windows XP Update for Windows XP (KB898461) 07 October 2007 Windows Update

Both fail to install with error code 0x80200011
Advice is to try again later - but I think 7 times is enough without finding
the problem.

Any help greatly appreciated!
Yan

Hello YanB,

0x80200011 -2145386479 BG_E_MISSING_FILE_SIZE When BITS sends a HEAD request
and server/proxy doesn’t return Content-Length header in the response, BITS
puts the job in ERROR state with BG_E_MISSING_FILE_SIZE. BITS 1.5 puts the
job in ERROR state with BG_E_INVALID_SERVER_RESPONSE error. Apache 2.0 proxy
server is known to exhibit this behavior.

The proxy doesn't support HTTP 1.1 correctly. Or the URL is a dynamic URL.
BITS supports only static URLs

Test this WGA diagnose test, connection to MS, that scripts working and a
new Validation tool
http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag/

Good luck
