Hi Maurice,
That was written over a year ago and it happened
further back than that (from Dec. '04 through Jan. '05).
I just looked at my Update History and it doesn't
give Error Codes for those two months of failures.
I couldn't possibly remember all the original
Error Codes I received. Sorry!
I had multiple problems (including needing to add
that Zip File) to the Registry. I had trouble in all
phases and areas (noted in all my steps). After
looking at hundreds of references and sites on
the Net, I came to the conclusion that no one had
written a (fairly) comprehensive write-up about all
the problems w/BITS/AU.
So I sat down and compiled everything I had read,
advice from the MS Tech. Rep. and everything I had
learned on my own through trial and error (I'm a
programmer, btw) and took about 3 days or so to write
up what you see there. It, of course, doesn't take into
account EVERY Error Code (that would require a book!).
While it's, by no means, complete, it seems to have
helped thousands of people in the last year (judging
from all the e-mails and PMs I've received on CastleCops
and AumHa (and here too, since I've posted it about
once a week or so to this N.G. for the last year)).
Best,
Mike_________

Hi Mike,
I've just done a quick review of that page. Can you post back with the original
problem that you had & hopefully also the initial Error code?
I take it the major problem area you had was with BITS & the folder permissions.
Is that correct?
And that the initial problem showed up in the "download phase".
Is that correct?
