I'm getting failures in BITS which are preventing Windows Update from
working. Here's the info from the event log:

General:

Faulting application svchost.exe_BITS, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp

Guessing (e.g. from the module version) that this is some type of Vista?

Does Vista have bitsadmin? If so you could try checking on BITS status
(in a cmd window) with:

bitsadmin /util /version /verbose

(For example.)

That would be checking if the installation of the BITS support was corrupt.
Otherwise my guess would be that the symptom could be due to interference
from third-party programs. In order to test that hypothesis you could either
try eliminating all such possibilities before retrying (e.g. use clean-boot
troubleshooting techniques) or examine the Stack Back Trace of the crashing
thread (e.g. in drwtsn32.log) for the presence of such modules.

You may get better assistance from a newsgroup which specializes
in your OS. Cross-posting for convenience.


Good luck

Thanks. It is Vista...should have been more specific. Here's the output
from the bitsadmin command you suggested:

Checking BITS main COM interfaces...

Attempting to instantiate BITS main interface, IBackgroundCopyManager...
The BITS service will be started if not already running.
SUCCESS - IBackgroundCopyManager is correctly registered and can be
instantiated
..

A dialog box then opens saying "BITS administration utility has stopped
working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows
will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I also
get the same dialog I got before about Host Process for Windows Services
having stopped working. If I rerun bitsadmin before clearing those dialogs,
I get the following at the end of the bitsadmin run:

Failed to instantiate BITS IBackgroundCopyManager interface. The command
/UTIL /REPAIRSERVICE might help diagnose or fix the issue - 0x80080005
Server execution failed

ERROR - BITS configuration errors were found!! Error code - 0x8007042b
The process terminated unexpectedly.

I don't have drwtsn32.log on my system. Here's what the event log has to
say about the bitsadmin failure:

Faulting application bitsadmin.exe, version 7.0.6000.16386, time stamp

Apologies for the long post, but I really don't know what's important and
what's not, so I'm trying to err on the side of giving too much information
rather than not enough. Thanks for your help.

I was hoping the cross-post would elicit some comments from someone
who had more in common with your scenario. Added BITS to cross-post
as well.

FWIW here is what XP's bitsadmin looks like where yours failed:

<cmd_output>
Attempting to instantiate BITS main interface, IBackgroundCopyManager...
The BITS service will be started if not already running.
SUCCESS - IBackgroundCopyManager is correctly registered and can be instantiated.
SUCCESS - IBackgroundCopyJob2 is correctly registered.
SUCCESS - IBackgroundCopyJob3 is correctly registered.

SUCCESS - no BITS configuration errors were found!!
</cmd_output>

So, if your system would normally show those messages too
it would appear to be breaking while checking on IBackgroundCopyJob2?
However, you have a lot more messages than I do before that
so I wouldn't want to put any money on that guess. <eg>

At this point I'd probably be tempted to use the /repairservice option
but I would be doing it blindly...

Hmm... even the force option seems to be suggested more often than
I suspected--though not for your specific symptom.

Thanks, Anna.

I cross-posted because I wasn't sure BITS experts watched the WU NG.

BTW looks like that article is "hot off the presses"? <eg>

(Live Search for
0x800706ba BITS site:support.microsoft.com

and

0x800706ba Vista site:support.microsoft.com

both come up empty.
)


Hmm... BITS is not mentioned in it! (So the first search wouldn't help
even if the article was indexed.) Possible extra keyword to add? <eg>


Thanks again.

Robert

The cross-post was a good thing, thanks Robert. I check the BITS newsgroup
more often than the others. My bad for the duplicate postings, btw.

You raise a good point regarding the keywords used in the KB... "BITS" is
not a very good candidate for use as a keyword (since it is the plural of
"bit"), but I'll check on that... ;-)
