IUpdateDownloader::Download() returns 0x80240044

Hi,
IUpdateDownloader:ownload() returns 0x80240044 on logged on user as in
User Group, Same call works fine when logged on user is in Admnistrator group.

But MSDN documentation does not mentioned about this, also I could not find
description for the error code.

Any help?

Thanks n Advance.

OK ... so, you're trying to use a script in *what* doing *what* ?
Nevermind ... I'll go search MSDN ...

Are you sure about that?
I asked about 0x80240044, but you replied about
0x80240004(WU_E_NOT_INITIALIZED)
I'm trying to get driver update for specific hardware, everything works fine
for user in Administrator group, i want to do same thing for a user in
Standard User group.

Thanks

Are you referring to WSUS?

Underneath it is same, but I'm not sure about that, i'm refering to Windows
Update Agent COM API

If the client is updating via WSUS (as the error suggests), it really isn't
the same & you should be posting in the WSUS-specific newsgroup:
microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services

Any question regarding Windows Update Agent COM API belongs to this
newsgroup or not?

As long as somebody could shed some details could help others.

No. I dropped a 4 and posted nothing worth checking out, CtA.
FWIW, I can't find anything about the error, 0x80240044, either.
All I found were the MSDN articles on the IUpdateDownloader Interface.
You've probably checked them out, too.
Sorry about that.

Perhaps you should try the "Send comments about this topic to Microsoft"
link and see if you get a response.

Have you tried setting the ElevateNonAdmins registry option? I'm not sure
whether it affects the COM API, but it seems reasonable to suppose that it would.

<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708449.aspx>

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc708449.aspx

If the problem was lack of permission, I'd have expected to see error code 5
rather than an apparently undocumented code, but you never know.

You could also try using Process Monitor to see if there's an underlying file or
registry error occurring:

<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx>

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896645.aspx

If so, it might give you some hints.

It seems unlikely that the issue is related to whether you're using WSUS or not.
It could, however, be worth asking in the WSUS newsgroup as well, because most
folks wanting to do this kind of technical WU stuff tend to be in a corporate
environment and therefore use WSUS. However, I don't hold out much hope; I'm
not aware of anyone in either group who has worked with the COM API much.

For the record, while the Windows Update Agent error codes happen to be
documented in the WSUS section of the MSDN, they apply equally well to
conventional Windows/Microsoft Update as well.
