Hello.
I am running Windows 2000 SP4. I am trying to apply the following updates,
which are the default ones that Windows Update chooses when I go to the
update site:
Update for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP
5.1 (KB842773)
Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1

The updates will NOT install. At first I tried installling them via WSUS
server. All of the servers but the one in question installed. So I went to
a more manual approach on this one server.

I stopped the Automatic Update Service. I did not have to stop the
Background Intelligent Transer Service, because it was not running. I
renamed the SoftwareDistribution folder, located in Winnt folder. And I
restarted services and tried going to the Windows Update site again. It
still failed.

I registered the msxml3.dll. Then I did the above steps again. It still
failed.

Can anyone help me with this? It shouldn't take three hours to install a
minor update. Thanks.
