problem with WU 0x80246008

Ive seen a lot of posts for issues concerning Windows Update error code
0x80246008. Almost all have to do with the BITs Service not running and/or
unable to start the service

My problem is I get this error code when I am trying to download the update
that is supposed to install the BITs service so therefore I do not have a
BITs service to run as of yet.

How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.
Greg
