    We are seeing this same issue with Server 2008 R2. Any word on that?

    Sad I can't edit my last post, seems that everything past the first page is dimmed.

    I wanted to finish by saying get ride of the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution files, it did help!!!

    1900 GMT I just started WU and now it is looking for everything related to Microsoft. I did download Silverlight, if that fixed it, great.

    I have the same problem with the *8015 error.

    One site said to clear this folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution after shutting off Windows update service and clearing the folder and turning update back on. It seems to have gotten rid of the error message but now update in Win 7 only looks for windows updates and not all Microsoft updates.

    This error also may have fouled up the restore function on a 32bit Home machine and a 64bit laptop too!

    Hi,

    It looks like some changes have been made that should resolve this. Can everyone on this thread try again today and see if the error is gone?

    We'll be waiting for your update.

    For anyone's information, this 'error code 80248015' is not just a Windows 7 occurrence. Although, Vista is now unsupported for security updates (which is why I found it odd to receive), Vista is showing this same error, too. 

    Wanting to try to update yet unable to; 

    So, this is clearly from the update centre that has issued out everywhere?
