windowsupdate destroyed

hi ng,

unfortunately, i have destroyed the windowsupdate client on w2k sp4 server
when
trying to repair the client. as stated by various kb-articles i
- cleared temporary internet files folder
- cleared programs\windowsupdate folder except v4 folder (cleared its
contents, too)
- cleared winnt\softwaredistribution
- unregistered iuctl.dll, deleted iuctl.dll and iuengine.dll
- undeleted controls in winnt\downloaded program files (should better mow
the meadow
but administer a server).
restarting the server and connecting to the wu-site, after a while comes up
with the page
stating that updated client software needs to be downloaded. download fails,
as shows up
100% immediately and registers whatever (as nothing seems to be downloaded).
any download
in the next step of wu fails - a download list is build up correctly, but
nothing can be downloaded,
and then bye-bye. checking what has happened shows up, that the former
deleted act.x-ctl´s
in "downloaded program files" do not show up, at least one folder under
software distrbution
is missing. consequence: the wu-client dows not work at all.

anybody there, who knows a solution other than reinstall ie on the server?

I have the exact same problem. I have done all that you have without sucess.
