Re: windows update problem

I've tried the site with Auto update on and off. The last attempt was with AU on after restart.

I've searched high and low....and found only one other person with the same error. The recommended fix below was provided by one of the MS newsgroup regulars, Lucy (MSFT):

For this error try the following:

Register MSXML3.dll

1. Click on the Start button

2. Click on RUN

3. In the Run box type “regsvr32 MSXML3.dll” (without quotes)

Click OK

Got the same advice at TechNet, did it sucessfully, but update show same error. Since this rc2 is v2149, I went ahead regsvr'd xml 4, also sucessfull, but still no luck, I also did everything in internet explorer tools: del files, cookies, offline files, trusted sites config, all with no luck.
Last night I uninstalled sp2, then uninstalled every single hotfix, one at a time. Re-installed sp2rc2 and update is still the same. Is it possible that I need certain services running? Auto update is running and set to auto start, rpc, sys restore etc. are running, just wondering if there is a service I don't know about. I did find a thread about this error code on technet, but no help.
Thanks
Tim

What services have you disabled?

Also, have you attempted to remove\reinstall the iuctl.dll and iuengine.dll? These should be removed from :\Windows\System32\Dllcache and :\Windows\System32.
