Using XP SP3, I am getting the following when trying to install the latest
update agent (windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe). I'd appreciate any help!

Try doing an Aggressive mode Reset: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

Thanks for the suggestions, PA Bear. I installed Fix It and did an agressive
reset and reboot, but that didn't fix the problem; still getting the same
error.

No 3rd party firewall or anti-spyware. Norton/McAfee has never been
installed. The virus checker is Trend, installed by our IT people. I tried
to uninstall it, but it is password protected.

Windows Update used to work fine. I did notice that the Trend icon looks
different now than it used to look; I think our IT people pushed out a new
version. Could this be the problem?

From: Darryl on
Thanks PA Bear. I installed Fix It and did an agressive reset, but got the
same error.

The machine had Trend antivirus, no 3rd party firewall or antispyware. I
uninstalled Trend and rebooted because I suspected it (it was updated
recently) and tried to install the update agent again, but got the same error.

I then tried the agressive reset again, and again got the same error.

I am trying to install the update agent because when I try to update via
windowsupdate.microsoft.com, it says I need to install the ActiveX control,
but I am not prompted to install the control. The information bar does not
appear, and it just sits there.

Any ideas? I've never had so much trouble trying to do something so simple.
