MS solution posted by another user:
This error 0x80246008 can be caused by multiple factors. When the issue occurs again,
I suggest we perform the following steps to troubleshoot this
issue:
Step 1:
Install MSI 3.1 via the following link:
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=889482FC-5F56-4A38-B838-DE776FD4138C&displaylang=en>
Please install Windows Installer 3.1, restart and try the updates again. If possible,
please disable all firewall or anti-virus applications first.
Step 2:
Go to Start -< Run, type in Services.msc and press Enter. Please check the following
services:
"Remote Procedure Call" (RPCSS) should be enabled, Automatic
"COM+ Event System" (EventSystem) should be enabled, Manual
"System Event Notification Service" (SENS) should be enabled, Automatic
"Volume Shadow Copy" (VSS) should be enabled, Manual
"Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider" (SWPRV) should be enabled, manual.
Step 3:
Go to Start -> Run, type in Reghedit and press Enter. Navigate to:
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\SvcHost
In the right pane, double-click to open the netsvcs key. Under Value Data, add BITS
to the list of services. Click OK. Exit the registry. Restart the
system and check out Windows update again. If still fails, proceed to Step 4:
(Additional information added to original posting: Be careful with the above Step 3
modification - make sure that the entries are not highlighted before attempting to
enter BITS or you'll lose the other entries.)
Step 4:
Click Start. Choose Run. In the Run box, type regsvr32 qmgr.dll. Click OK.
Click Start. Choose Run. In the Run box, type regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll. Click OK.
Step 5:
Go to command prompt (Start -> Run -> type in CMD and click OK), run the following
command
Reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\BITS\Parameters /v
ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dll
(All one line. Since this command is complex, please copy it and right click on the
Command Prompt window -> Paste, then Enter.)
(Additional information added to original posting: The above command may wrap to more
than one line therefore you may have to copy the same to notepad so that it's one
line - including any spaces in the line)
Then please restart the PC and retry Windows Update
If the above command does not work, please try the following again:
Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestor e\FilesNotToBackup
Restart the PC and retry Windows Update. If still no success, go to Step 6:
Step 6:
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network
(Note: Application Data is a hidden folder, so ensure you go to My Computer ->
Tools -> Folder options -> View, check Show hidden files/folders)
Delete the Downloader folder.
Please take your time performing the above steps ............................
