I have a relatively fresh (4 months old) installation of Windows Vista
Business 32bit on my computer.
At first, Microsoft Update (not Windows Update, Windows Update still works
fine) worked fine. But after i deactivated it and tried to reinstall it using
the Windows Update Control Panel it started to fail with the error code
0x80070002. More precisely, it does so after accepting the license here:
http://www.update.microsoft.com/micr...&ln=de&muopt=6
I already tried emptying the %windir%\SoftwareDistribution Folder (after
stopping the Windows Update Service, of course).
I also installed CheckSUR, which reported no problems. Then I installed SP1,
but the problem still persists.
The relevant lines of WindowsUpdate.log would be:

I cross-checked with my Vista Notebook and found that wsus3setup.inf did not
exist there either, but Microsoft Update worked nonetheless.
Does anyone have an idea of what is going on here? I'm somewhat clueless at
the moment.
