Hi - I'm getting an error, where WU fails just after you click the Express
or Custom buttons.
I get error 0x8024d007. I did a little research, which let me to the
Hkey_Classes_Root registry key.
I checked that permissions were "full" for system and administrators (OK).
Next I deleted \windows\softwaredistribution and allowed WU to recreate it.
Neither solution has resolved the problem. I looked in Windowsupdate.log
and see these errors. I don't know if these problems are the cause or not.
Any advice
appreciated.
