Hi,

This update, KB3000850, is quite large -- something like 720+Mb.  After quite some time downloading (seemed to get stuck at 4% and 90% downloaded), I got error 800700002 when I tried to install this windows update.

Right after starting download, I disabled my real time anti-virus.

Can anyone suggest ways to overcome this problem???

Thanks

    Same problem for me...

    Disabled also real-time anti virus (Q360 total security) and deleted/renamed Software Distribution located at %windir%. Additionally DISM-procedure(s) were passed. No luck at all!

    Installed both, the WU version and the standalone several times.

    Isn't here anybody who can help? Microsoft support?

    Bye

    Same problem here, both the WU version and the standalone installer version begin the update but after it reaches like 98% they fail. Tried manual cleaning of SoftwareDistribution etc folders, DISM command but nothing fixes it.

    Edit: Just tried the WU reset fixit option, no luck...

    It installed just fine for me.  Took over an hour from start to finish - long pause at 4% and again at 90% - but after all that one would think there would be some sort of noticeable difference.  So far I haven't come across anything "new" yet.

    I should add this was x86 not the 64-bit flavor update.  64-bit == ~~700MB  32-bit == ~~ 450MB

    <Data Name="ErrorCode">2147942402</Data>

    That's  0x80070002  decimal as a Qword.  Have you tried the DISM command?

    For more detail I would use the ReportingEvents.log to get the timestamp.  Then find the portion of CBS.log which corresponded to that.  It might give a clue about which module is "missing".

    I then rebooted and tried to download and install this update again -- got same error.

    See if the symptom is still the same.  E.g. run DISM again.  Same result there too?
