WuWebControlClass is missing

Hi all,

I got my new laptop with Win XP pro SP2. Everything was fine except the
Windows Update. I got Error "0x8DDD0004" when updating through web. I
search the forum and someone said should have WUWebControl Class in IE
Add-Ons. However, the class is not available in the add-on.

How can I load the class back to the Add-Ons?

I spent a week to deal with it and got nothing....

Thanks

iirc, your error translates to "Error Control Failed".
On the assumption that this is really "cannot display page" ..... then I'd suggest the following:

Close your Internet Explorer browser. Run Disk Cleanup & be sure to delete temporary internet cache files.


In Internet Explorer browser > main menu /Tools/Internet Options >

Security Tab/ click on green icon Trusted Sites/click Sites button.

Click (to clear) "Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone" to **clear** (un-check) the selection.
(A check mark, if present, on this item needs to be Removed.)

In the "Add this Web site to the zone:" field, add these entries to list of "Trusted Sites" --

type
http://www.download.windowsupdate.com (click Add)

http://update.microsoft.com

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

http://download.windowsupdate.com

Click OK.

Make sure you are not *disabling* any scripting capabilities in I.E.

Recheck ActiveX acceptance. Instead of disable, try using "prompt".

You need to be sure to delete your temp internet cache files on a regular & consistent basis.
I.E. Tools>Internet Options >Advanced --scroll list.
Advanced Tab>>Security sub-section:
"Enable" (click on to activate or tick) "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed".

Apply changes to I.E. & exit out of it. Retry Windows Update from main Windows start menus.

Be acutely aware of all the other running (open) programs on your pc.
Be acutely aware of all your startup programs. Some of those could likely cause a conflict.
Be sure NOT to be user programs like TweakMaster. Be certain your Hosts file has no specific I.P. address
for microsoft.com in it.
Be sure your firewall has granted full access permissions to Internet Explorer.

If you are running Norton Internet Security, speak up ....you may need to tweak its settings.

Download and install the latest Windows Update Engine with the following link.
http://download.windowsupdate.com/v6...gent20-x86.exe

If you want to know more information about the above download see:-

Also from Torgeir Bakken [MVP]

The download link is listed at the MBSA 2.0 FAQ site as well (under the question
"MBSA uses files that it downloads from the Internet, but the computer I want to use
to scan my network doesn't have Internet access. How can I use MBSA in this case?").

I have attempted just about everything written in order to resolve the error
number: 0x8DDD0004 with windows update.
I have noticed that under the Manage Add-ons, I dont have a
WuWebControlClass entry listed only a MUWebControlClass entry?? I do I
reinstall the WuWebControlClass entry?
