If you are still having trouble after you have tried
everything, then you will probably find your answer here.

After trying various KB including KB 883821, I have
discovered the cause of the infamous 0x8024402C
error for XP workstations that sit behind ISA firewalls.
You may only be seeing a 0x80072f78 error because you
haven't gotten to the update site whereby you get the
0x8024402C error. Either way, this Technical note may help
you solve your problem.
