Windows Update Error: 0x8DDD0004

Hi

I have just installed the first and initial release of windows xp. No
service packs or updates carried out.

When i do try to update i got the error 0x8DDD0004.

I had this happen once before and found the solution and now it appears to
have disappeared.

I used some form of test utility to check that the available components
where installed and if they weren't i was prompted to install them.

This worked and saved me a whole lot of a hastle. Only problem is that i
didn't know i would need it again.

Just wondering if anyone knows of the utility. It was some where on the
microsoft site. It was really useful and checked several settings and
required files.

Thank you in advance.

Hi

Sorry for the post but i may have found a solution
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...-US/WUAU22.msi

This MSI reinstalls Auto Update for Win 2000 and Win XP only and it appears
to have done the trick.

Its just a matter of putting in the correct search terms and items.

Thanks.
