OS: Windows XP SP2, updated during beta (where MSI problems started), re-
updated to final (where WU problems started)
I am having the 0x800A01AD error as well. I've searched through several of
the different threads within these forums and tried many of the different
posted solutions to this problem and similar problems, but haven't had any
success yet. I've tried the link to windows support given to me when I
recieve the error, many different regsvr32 commands, one very long sc command,
the Impersonate a client after authentification settings, and nearly
everything else that I've found within these forums.
I have also noticed that Windows Installer is not working for me ("The Windows
Installer Service could not be accessed.") I would be very grateful if
anybody could help me find a solution to these issues.
