I am currently unable to download my Windows Update updates on a Windows 2000
SP4 systen, and after trying quite a few things mentioned in this board, I am
now stuck with a 0x800704dd error.
I've tried the regsvr32 trick with the wu*.dll files (yes, one at a time),
verified that BITS is up and running, checked every registry entry I could
imagine (Noteably HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows
NT/Winlogin/Notify), and tried just about everything I could think of. Oddly
enough, I was able to download the upgrade from Windows/Office update to
Microsoft Update, but it won't work either (this log is from Microsoft
Update).
I am validated, since I was able to download Microsoft Anti-Spyware without
a problem.
Another (possibly related) item I just noticed... On the Microsoft Update
page, there is a link labeled "Find Hardware SUpport" that I haven't seen on
any other system, and it links to goatce.ca (non-functional site with a name
far too similar to the infamous .cx site). Did a spyware (Ad-Aware, Spybot,
Microsoft Antispyware) and a virus scan (Mcafee), and aside from the usual
tracking cookies, the system was clean.
Log file follows:
