Windows Update -
Sometimes I hate Windows software....
I have this error on two machines when Windows Update is run - both machines are Windows XP with SP2, running behind an ISA 2000 server.
Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page. Error Number: 0x8024402C
Googling bring up a few items on the microsoft.public.windowsupdate newsgroup, but no real answer to the problem. Even this didn't appear to work
From the WindowsUpdate.log:

The same error occurred also on two machines of mine.
I asked Microsoft.
They said "Please update BITS".
Please apply the Windows XP hot fix KB842773.
I applied this to two machines and solved it.

I've tried to run this fix but it comes up with "Can not run this because a newer version is already installed.

The first error code is 0x80072EE7, Googling that implies that you have a name resolution problem.
I think proving you can resolve v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com would be the place to start.

The name resolves fine in the browser and from the command line
Hotfix KB842773 gives the same result as per Coach Rudy

This may help.

What I have generally seen is that you need to delete the ActiveX control and it be re-downloaded. The control is Wuaueng.dll and needs to be unregistered and removed from SYSTEM32 and DLLCACHE. Make a backup.
Good luck.

Tried both the unreg of wuaueng.dll and what was suggested in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;883821 but nothing worked. Unregistering wuaueng.dll created error 0x800A01AD

Hey
I have the same problem, and i think find solution.I change manualy in workstation IP for DNS (from IP Win2k with ISA (my Proxy) -> IP DNS internet provider).
I try change settings in ISA 2000 for DNS,but DNS doesnt work good.
After change DNS in workstation WindowsUpdate without problem download patches and install.
Now i will try settings WINS for propagations public DNS on my workstations automatic
good luck
