JSI Tip 10534. You receive error 0x80070003 when you download from the Windows Update or the Microsoft Update Web site on Windows XP?

After a clean install of Windows XP, attempts to download updates from the Windows Update Web site, or the Microsoft Update Web site, result in a prompt to install BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service).

If a red X is displayed next to an update, you receive error 0x80070003 when you press the red X.

This behavior occurs if BITS is not properly registered and/or some .dll files are not correctly registered.

I have scripted Fix80070003.bat to resolve this problem.

The syntax for using Fix80070003.bat is:

Fix80070003.bat contains:
