Thank you for your post. I tried ALL of the above and more.
Ultimately what I did was install BITS 4.0 and it worked. You can get
the download here but make sure your system can handle 4.0. Read more
below.

I had VISTA 32 bit SP2. I must have had BITS 2.0 though I couldn't
figure out how to verify it.
My files must have gotten corrupted because I was told to run CHKDSK in
early April. Usually when your files are corrupted in something you have
to reinstall the software.
You can avoid that if you do a system restore, but the last successful
windows update was 3/31 and system restore only went to 4/1. I restored
to 4/1 but it did not work.
My other option was to restore the computer to factory settings, and I
wanted to avoid that. So I figured the best thing to do was reinstall
BITS.
I decided to upgrade to BITS 4.0. After I upgraded the windows
automatic update install worked without the dreaded 80246008 error.
This might have worked even if I installed BITS 2.0, or BITS 3.0. I'm
not sure what results I will get with BITS 4.0. Mine is just a typical
home PC.

You also can install the windows security updates manually until you
find a solution that works for you. Go the the Microsoft support site
and install the updates that you need, just search for the updates you
need, mine all began with a K followed by some numbers.

If you had really tried "ALL of the above" your bitsadmin generated
diagnostics would have shown you that--"and more". <eg>

Specifically:

bitsadmin /util /version /verbose


FYI
