Windows Update 0x800704DD error fix

[famkehoopers]

Hi all,

After extensive testing all night, I found a annoying bug in NLite 1.4.9.1 (latest)

If anyone ticks "Logon Notifications" under "Operating System Options" for removal then Windows Update will be rendered useless. In the beginning of accessing Windows Update you will immediately get the 0x800704DD error. It is unfixable.

If you select "Windows Update Website" in the compatibility list, "Logon Notifications" is still removable. So that is the bug. I do not understand why they are related but they are. Mailed the author of NLite about this.

Maybe someone already knows this but I googled the heck out of my PC and could not find why I got the error after using NLite. So I found out myself by testing in VPC.

I tested with Windows XP X86 SP3 and Windows XP X64 SP2

Hope this will help someone.

Regards,

Marco.
