    BITS Service missing on Vista 32

    I tried to install Updates for Windows Vista 32. Error 80246008 notified me
    about BITS. The BITS service is not present in the services list (control
    panel). I tried to reinstall using “bitsadmin /util /REPAIRSERVICE /FORCE”.
    The OS replied :

    BITSADMIN version 3.0 [ 7.0.6000 ]
    BITS administration utility.
    (C) Copyright 2000-2006 Microsoft Corp.

    This command cannot be executed on this version of the operating system.

    Have you looked at -

    (Vista 32 bit/x86 version)
    or
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
    (Vista 64 bit/x64 version)

    No, I have spent 4 hours searching for solutions before starting this thread.
    Solutions you are suggesting involve a correctly installed BITS service. On
    my computer, this seems not to be the case.

    BITS Service is not running, nor is it visible in the services list.

    Thank you for your suggestions:

    Bits Repair Tool - The BITS repair tool cannot fix the error (The specified
    service does not exist as an installed service..)
    Also the patch / update for the crashes doesn't work..

    Solved this by editting registry. Windows Vista : Take ownership of registry
    before editting!

    Correct keys :
