Hi all; Error message 0x8024000e appears when I run Windows Update on my newly installed Windows Server 2008 x64. Any idea? Thanks

Hi, search on your system disk for msxml* files and write here what you find.Edoardo Benussi - Microsoft MVP Management Infrastructure - Systems Administration https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/Profile/Benussi Windows Server Italian Forum Moderator edo[at]mvps[dot]org

Thanks for your reply; I cannot find any msxml* file on the effected system...

you have to install an xml parser otherwise your system can't read xml files. The error means 0x8024000e WU_E_XML_INVALID Windows Update Agent found invalid information in the update's XML data.

Hi, If that does not resolve the issue, could you run this tool and report back with anything that shows up in the %systemroot%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log (usually %systemroot% is c:\Windows): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 -- Mike Burr
