Update window has old version of fix for 0x80070002. See my notes here

Nov 30 2007 9:45 pm -05.00
Windows XP Pro SP2 ver 2002
New Info. Also I have a question at the bottom.

1. WGA Notify finally came in on a successful install today - on its own.
However, it was for Vista. I was not aware I was prepped for Vista. If I
have all Win XP updates, does that mean my Win XP machine is prepped for
Vista?

2. I have finally gotten on the Windows Update site the error code
0x80070002, and plan to do the exercises
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 last updated June 30, 2007) which
will match up the contents of the Data Store folder.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,

In the meantime, for what it's worth: The windows update site (where I
found this code as my problem gave the fix for 0x80070002 was Last updated :
12/16/2005. Earlier today I searched the Article ID for this fix (910336)
and it was Last Reviewed and revised June 30, 2006, Revision: 2.1

In this newer version, part way through the instructions it does not say to
Delete the contents of the DataStore folder, but it says to rename it, and
tells what happens when you do: the history list is erased from the "Review
your Updates" section of the Windows Update Web site.

Then it goes on to instruct in starting up Automatic updates again and then
visit the Microsoft Update Web site (or WSUS server) again.

The newer version also adds that if you still cannot install the update, see
the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article: 906602 (for other related
issues.
..............

My question is this: What do I do with the *current lurking download icon*
from the status bar? I have read the log, and know it is another failed
attempt.

1. To get rid of the yellow shield in the task box that I knew was an empty
file, I just ran it again (empty >NET Framework installation) to get rid of
it.
2. Then immediately started the procedure here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336
It was a completely successful installation that took just a few minutes.
