Re: Windows Vista Update error 8024402C

I had the same problem ''Code 8024402C'' until I figured out to shut the
windows firewall completely. Now I am downloading updates. Hope they will be
installed without any problem. For you guys have the same error code, try to
turn off the windows firewall before scanning new updates. Just do not forget
to turn on it again...
Logically windows firewall should allow windows update service by default. I
tried to make an exception of windows update on windows firewall but could
not find its .exe or whatever it is necessary to make an exception.
