Solution 2

Here is what I did and it fixed it - Thanks to Mary.

Create a batch file with the following and run it from a command prompt.

regsvr32 MSXML3.dll /s  
net stop wuauserv  
cd /d %windir%\SoftwareDistribution  
rd /s /q DataStore  
net start wuauserv   
regsvr32 softpub.dll   
regsvr32 mssip32.dll  

• Go to services and stop the Windows Update service
• Go to the Windows directory (default is c:\Windows) and rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder to "SoftwareDistribution.old"
• Go to services and start the Windows Update service

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.

Yup, I have this problem and the link is dead now. Yay.
