Back to Top

When you try to visit the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:

• "Error number: 0x8DDD0002
  To install items from Windows Update, you must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure."
  
  You receive this message even though you are already logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group.
   

Cause:

1. You are not logged on as a user who belongs to the local Administrators group.
2. You do not have permission to specific registry keys or folders.
3. The operating system cannot read the data in the %Systemroot%\System32\Catroot2 folder.

How to fix?

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• Method 1: Verify that you are logged on as a user who belongs to the local Administrators group.
  
  Click Start, click Run, type nusrmgr.cpl, and then click OK to open the User accounts window.
  
  If you are part of a network domain, follow these steps:
  
  1> In the User Accounts window, click to select your account from the list, and then click Properties.
  
  2> On the Group Membership tab, verify that you are in the Administrators group.
  
  If you are not part of a network domain, follow these steps:
  
  In the User Accounts window, click your account, and then verify that Computer Administrator appears under your account name.
  
  After you logged on as an administrator, try to visit the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site again. If the problem is resolved, do not continue troubleshooting.
   
• Method 2: Delete temporary Internet files. To do this, follow these steps:
  
  1> Open the Internet Explorer window, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
  
  2> In the Internet Options window, click the General tab, under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files, and then click OK.
  
  Try to visit the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site again. If the problem is resolved, do not continue troubleshooting.
   
• Method 3: Verify the permissions on the registry keys that are used by the Windows Update client and the Microsoft Update client.
  
  1> Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  
  Note In Microsoft Windows 2000 or in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, type regedt32 instead of "regedit."
  
  2> Locate and select the following registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate
  
  3> On the Edit menu, click Permissions, click Add, and then type everyone in the dialog box that appears.

  4> Click Check Names, and then click OK.
  
  5> Select Everyone in the Group or user names list.
  
  6> Under Permissions for Everyone, click to select the Full Control check box in the Allow column.
  
  Note that the Read check box in the Allow column is now also selected.
  
  7> Select each user, in turn, in the Group or user names list, and then verify that no check boxes are selected in the Deny column. Click to clear any check boxes that are selected in the Deny column.
  
  8> Click Advanced, click to select the Replace permission entries on all child objects check box, and then click OK.
  
  9> Click YES if you are prompted for confirmation, and then click OK to close the dialog box.
  
  Try to visit the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site again. If the problem is resolved, do not continue troubleshooting.
   
• Method 4: Verify the permissions for you on the folder structure used by the Windows Update client or by the Microsoft Update client.
  
  1> Click Start, click Run, type explorer, and then click OK.
  
  2> Expand My computer, expand System Drive, and then expand WINDOWS.
  
  3> Right-click SoftwareDistribution, and then click Properties.
  
  4> In the SoftwareDistribution Properties window, click the Security tab, and then verify that whether you are in the Group or user names list.
  
  5> In the Group or user names list, select Everyone. Under Permissions for Everyone, click to select the Full Control check box in the Allow column.
  
  Note that the Read check box in the Allow column is now also selected.
  
  Try to visit the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site again. If the problem is resolved, do not continue troubleshooting.
   
• Method 5: Rename the Catroot2 folder. To do this, type the following commands at a command prompt, pressing ENTER after each line:
  net stop cryptsvc
  ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
  net start cryptsvc
  
  Then, try to visit the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site again. If the problem is resolved, do not continue troubleshooting.
