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

Fix80070003.bat contains:

@echo onnet stop wuauserv /Ynet stop bits /YCD /D %SystemRoot%System32Rename Msxml3.dll Msxml3.oldRename Wuaueng.dll Wuaueng.oldRename Wuapi.dll Wuapi.oldRename Atl.dll Atl.oldRename Wucltui.dll Wucltui.oldRename Wups.dll Wups.old::The above files should be automatically replaced from %SystemRoot%System32DLLCache@ping -n 11 127.0.0.1>nulregsvr32 /S Msxml3.dll  regsvr32 /S Wuaueng.dll regsvr32 /S Wuapi.dll  regsvr32 /S Atl.dll  regsvr32 /S Wucltui.dll  regsvr32 /S Wups.dll  rd /s /Q  %SystemRoot%SoftwareDistributionnet start bits@ping -n 7 127.0.0.1>nulnet start wuauserv
