RE: unlisted error code

Error is supposed to mean "The requested HTTP header could not be located"

For Initialization Error 0x80072F76, keep in mind MS Article 836941

You receive an "Error 0x80072EE2" or "Error 0x80072EFD" error message when
you try to use Windows Update
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941

Are you running a 3rd-party firewall program? If so, which one?

Also, if running Zone Alarm, review the privacy options/settings. Add
download.windowsupdate.com to the "safe / trusted /" sites list.

In Internet Explorer browser > main menu /Tools/Internet Options >

Security Tab/ click on green icon Trusted Sites/click Sites button.

Look very closely at line that says:

"Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone" to *clear*
the selection.
(e.g. You want that to be un-checked (un-ticked)).

In the "Add this Web site to the zone:" field, add these entries to list
of "Trusted Sites" --

type
http://*.download.windowsupdate.com (click Add)

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

http://update.microsoft.com


Click OK. Apply changes to IE browser.

Then re-try Windows Update.
