I Have SP2 on WinXP, But Get 0x8DDD0018 Error

I manually downloaded SP2 for my WinXP Pro and loaded it. Worked
great. However, I now get error 0x8DDD0018 when I do the Windows
Update. I have the BITS and Automatic Updates services running, so any
suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi

Reset the security settings on the BITS and Windows Update services
and see if it helps:

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

(the "sc sdset ..." part for the two services in the link above)


Then, after the above, do the following:

Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"net.exe stop wuauserv" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following commands:

regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll
regsvr32.exe wups.dll
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe MSXML3.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll
net.exe start wuauserv

Restart the machine and try again.
