Possible Fix For 0x8024502D

I've found that one problem with this is Norton Internet Security (and
possible other firewalls too)

A solution i've found is to add the windows update site to the firewall
rules. You want to permit access to v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com on port
443 (remote). For NIS it needs to be at the top of the list (or atleast above
"Block access to secure sites")

Hope this helps you.

"Blackwolf256",

Thank you for posting. However, this solution may or may not be sufficient to
connect to Windows Update. From Windows XP, add the following sites to the
firewall "rules" (i.e. exceptions):

http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
https://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://download.microsoft.com

As for ports: 443 is needed for the secure connection, and the other port should
be the HTTP port, which is already open for browsing the web. Usually this is
port 80.

Sincerely,

Pat Walters [MSFT]
