Window 2003 Servers error 0x8ddd0004

This month my windows 2003 servers would not update. When trying it prompts
to to install activex control Microsoft Windows Component then stalls
eventually I get the the 0x8ddd0004 error. I have followed the link and
confirmed that the ActiveX wu control is enabled in add ins. I have posted
this previously but the reply could not be displayed. I manually applied
the updates to the servers. I have not applied SP2 to Window 2003 servers.
But they do have SP1
Thank you for your help

Try this ... open Internet Options in the Control Panel.
Click the Programs tab, then the Manage Add-ons button
Locate the WUWebControl add-on and click once on it to highlight it
Now click the Update ActiveX button
Did that get it updated ?
Check in %windir%\system32 to see if wuweb.dll is now at Version
7.0.6000.381

I have the same problem but I can not apply your solution because of I can
not find out the "Update ActiveX" button. Besides, I found that my wuweb.dll
are not the same version as yours. But I don't how to get update for this
file (wuweb.dll). U know, I tried rename the file with the hope that I can
update the new version online. but when I rename or delete it, the orther
wuweb.dll replace imediately.
What i should do?. Thanks
