From: Ivaylo Krumov - MCSA on 11 Dec 2009 09:44 That is exactly what we did here. It is absolutely right. The problem went away once si updated the DLL.

From: Thomas Heikkila on 11 Dec 2009 10:10 I am having the same issue (Windows XP SP3) and it started sometime after 3:00 PM CST on the 10th. I updated 20 PCs before then with no problem. I tried to update more later on and that is when I started having problems. Updating the Windows Update agent fixed the problem, but for me the install package would actually update the files, I ahd to manually copy them from a PC with the right versions. What a pain in the !@#.

From: adminwendy on 11 Dec 2009 11:08 this is happening to hundreds of computers at multiple businesses here. Server 2003 and XP are affected. obviously no one is going to update several hundred computers. microsoft needs to fix this. perhaps updating the dll or agent would fix it, but this is 100% unacceptable as this is affecting large scale numbers of pc's. techs like myself are unable to manually update that many computers, not enough resources.
From: ToddH on 11 Dec 2009 11:38 I already had wuweb.dd version 7.4.7600.226 but still received the error. I simply turned on the Automatic Updates option (was previously off) and rebooted. Microsoft Updates is now working.
