Windows update - 0x800703E3.

I recently started encountering a '0x800703E3' error after trying to install
new update software from the Microsoft Update site. I have re-registered the
dll's and wiped the Software Distribution folder. I am unsure how to correct
this problem.

Ensure that you have disabled all third-party anti-virus, anti-malware, or
download accelerators, then try the upgrade again.

If the condition persists, download Dial-a-fix from
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix_beta and use its repair options for
Windows Update, Crypto Services, and re-register Internet Explorer etc.

You can manually download and install the Microsoft Update software at:

I had already manually re-registered the crypto/bits/wu files as well as
completely disabled my antivirus software. I am still encountering the error
and am unsure on what to do now.
