Update files won't install

I'm using a newly installed copy of Win2k SP4 and although I can download
updates from Windows Update, I can't install them. it gives a general message
of "...... (name of update) fails!" and brings me to a summary window stating
that none of the installations were succefully completed.

If you refer to Trev's post at 12/29/2005 5:04 AM PST, you will see his
original problem (which corresponds exactly to mine... same updates were not
installing as well). I tried his solution that worked for him, and this
didn't work for me.

For reference, I was able to get from my WU log file, the info it spat out
as WU failed to install the already-downloaded 3 updates:

I also saw the topic "Update installation fails" by Harold Cataquet, and I
found my situation was similar to his in that I also could not manually start
my BITS service. When I did, it returned the following info (taken from the
event viewer):

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7003
Date: 29/12/2005
Time: 11:28:19 PM
User: N/A
Computer: PK
Description:
The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service depends on the following
nonexistent service: LanmanWorkstation

Now, I tried everything that was mentioned in that thread, and unfortunately
that didn't work, either.

After trying those things, I reinstalled Windows with a "clean install" (I
think), but without reformatting the hard drive. This didn't solve the
problem.

Then, I tried simply downloading those updates that WU needed itself from
the MS Download Center. I was able to do this and install them manually
without problem. Thus, I was able to access all the other Updates that are
available to me using WU. I downloaded them all using WU. When it came time
to install them, the exact same type of error occured, and installation
failed for all of them. If it will help, I will post the relevant section of
the WU log file (now refusing to install these other, 20 or so updates), but
I fear with so many failed installs it would be extremely large (haven't
actually looked yet).

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

To clarify, once I manually installed those 3 updates I needed, including the
BITS 2.0 one, when I tested the BITS service, it did start up without problem
when I manually started it.


Also, here is the new WU log:

FIXED.

I tried the advice at this post:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...e92&sloc=en-us

And it turns out that my active network adaptor was indeed missing Client
for Microsoft Networks, and installing that, then rebooting, solved my
problem.

Wow. I am so tired. I would be happier if I wasn't so frustrated and tired
from all this.
To Microsoft tech people: please use this info to bring to light the cause,
and cure of this problem, so that others like me can have their problem
solved with a nice easy support page
