RE: Error 0x80246001 Windows 2000

Curtosy of Mr. Matt Braverman (MSFT)
By the way I did a search with your error code in this thread.

Please try:

- Stopping the Automatic Updates service
- Deleting the %WINDIR%\SoftwareDistribution folder
- Starting the Automatic Updates service

You'll eventually get re-prompted to download / install the update again and
the install should then succeed.
