Hello Michele,

0x80080008

If you are running XP, This will probably be your solution it is easy and
can't hurt

Try Dial-a-Fix

Dial-ª-Fix has had good results for a number of folks here:

Just had this happen to me today

Repair install
needs 81 patches
Once the MU v .381 engine gets on there, be prepared to manually do this
to get it to install anything
You receive a "0x800A01AE" error message or a "0x080070570" error
message when you try to connect to the Windows Update Web page or to the
Microsoft Update Web page in Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP:

1. Do you have the latest WU client, if not follow this article -
The Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site do not scan
for updates when you repair a failed installation of Windows XP Service Pack
2 or of Windows XP Service Pack 1
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916259

If 1 above is okay, then try re-registering some files:-

2. Click Start, select run and type the following (pressing okay after each
one):-

net.exe stop wuauserv

regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wups2.dll
regsvr32 wuweb.dll
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll

net.exe start wuauserv

GREAT!!!! Many thanks, TauArian! It worked! I had 86 updates that would not
install...
Why not to add your brilliant solution to the Knowledge Database????

03-Jan-08 03:35 AM

I had 81 updates to install and nothing would do. Re-registering the files as
per Taurian's point 2 worked beautifully. Thanks.

05-Jan-08 04:05 PM

Thank you very much!

I had the same problem and your solution solved the problem.

Dial- A- Fix helped me install the 87 updates that hadn't worked for sometime
and now my system is bogged down for minutes on end when I first start up.
I don't know if it's got to do with the Dial- A- Fix or one or two of the
updates that were installed that day.  I read on one of the other message
boards about it being related to WU and it consuming a lot of resources on
start up to check for updates.  Task Manager reads CPU 100% and mostly
because of SVCHOST.EXE.  Any suggestions, anyone?

Brilliant.  The regsvr part worked for me as well.

You are a wizard Taurarian. Thanks. Mine machine was blocked for over 2
months and works perfectly now

03-Mar-08 05:30 AM

Thank's, you are this weeks hero. I have had this problem (88 not install)
for a couple of weeks and tried "everything". Searched Microsoft help for
hours without any success, deleating files, retrying and retrying.....

But your instructions worked perfectly.

Huge thanks.

Go to Dj lizard.net - download Dialafix and save to desktop or shared
documents.  Go to Microsoft and download Windows XP SP3.  Run disk
defragment.  Then load Dialafix.  This worked for me after a week of getting
nowhere.  Hope this helps you and many others who apparently have the same
problem.

Worked a treat - Thanks so much as I was not quite brave enough to jump
straight into SP3 RC2...

06-Apr-08 07:51 PM

this is very helpful since i had about 100 updates after a restore off of the
sytem install disk since i had to put the original systems harddrive on a new
motherboard and system and the hotfixes would not install my only question
now will windows put out a fix for this error so when you do a system restore
you wont have this problem in the future

06-Apr-08 08:00 PM

you did a system *recovery* not a system restore

deleteing the KB files in windows directory and or any QXB files will
generally acomplish the same task as stopping the dll system 32 files you
suggest and its easier just delete and reboot.

It worked for me after a repair install and a CD based  SP3 and  I.E. 7
install.
I saved the commands into a batch file, adding only a pause statement just
prior to net.exe start wuauserv
Works Like a champ!!
Thanks again,
