I have been trying to install this update since 11/2005; Each time I have a
message installation failed error code 0x80242008; Cannot find any
resolutions to fix. Have tried to install in safe mode-per MSN Support
Team-did not work.
Have deleted file and re-downloaded it-no luck.

Here are some steps that were give to a poster by MS to resolve
the error code 0x80246008 (NOTE: These instructions are for XP) :

" Step 1:

Install MSI 3.1 via the following link:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Please install Windows Installer 3.1, restart and try the updates again.
If possible, please disable all firewall or anti-virus applications first.

Step 2:

Go to Start -< Run, type in services.msc and press Enter. Please check
the following services:

"Remote Procedure Call" (RPCSS) should be enabled, Automatic
"COM+ Event System" (EventSystem) should be enabled, Manual
"System Event Notification Service" (SENS) should be enabled, Automatic
"Volume Shadow Copy" (VSS) should be enabled, Manual
"Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider" (SWPRV) should be enabled, manual.

Step 3:

Go to Start -> Run, type in regedit and press Enter. Navigate to:

HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\SvcHost

In the right pane, double-click to open the netsvcs key. Under Value
Data, add BITS to the list of services. Click OK. Exit the registry.
Restart the system and check out Windows update again. If still fails,
proceed to Step 4:

Step 4:

Click Start. Choose Run. In the Run box, type

regsvr32 qmgr.dll

Click OK.
Click Start. Choose Run. In the Run box, type

regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

Click OK.

Step 5:

Go to command prompt (Start -> Run -> type in cmd and click OK), run the
following command

Reg add
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\BITS\Parameters
/v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dll

(All one line. Since this command is complex, please copy it and right
click on the Command Prompt window -> Paste, then Enter.)

Then please restart the PC and retry Windows Update

If the above command does not work, please try the following again:

Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestor e\FilesNotToBackup

Restart the PC and retry Windows Update. If still no success, go to Step 6:

Step 6:

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network

(Note: Application Data is a hidden folder, so ensure you go to My
Computer -> Tools -> Folder options -> View, check Show hidden
files/folders)

Delete the Downloader folder. "
