    Check to see if you are on a metered connection.  I had to change my connection to non-metered to allow Lync to install.

    Hi, thanks for your reply.

    However, I never set my connection (wifi connection) to metered. I tried setting it as metered and setting it back as non-metered, but to no avail.

    I've tried the WSReset.exe fix, the AUInstallAgent folder fix, I even reset my PC, but the 0x8020002e and sometimes 0x80073cf9 errors still persist. Good thing I saved a system image file, I recovered my PC immediately.

    This is getting frustrating, I've been waiting for a solution for this since December. Still, I appreciate the tip. :)

    Nothing also works for me. I really like windows 8, but thus error sucks a lot of fun from it. Please give us a fix for this. We need it badly.
