Re: Error 0 x 80072EE2

[Guest Guille]

It worked on me, I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, first I deleted as

much as I could in SOftwareDistribution folder, then I got error 80070003 and

then Windows Help Files walked me easily on solving this, by stoping Windows

Update services and deleting content on two specific folders. Thanks!
