Definition update fails, error code 0x8000B0109

[Guest]

Have Windows 2000 SP4. When I attempt to install Microsoft Update KB915597
(latest definition update for Windows Defender Beta 2), it repeatedly fails
with the above error code. Any idea how to resolve?

Hello rationalgaze,

Are you sure the error number is 0x8000B0109, because I don't find any
teference about that number.

The close I get is this:

See if you can use it.

Since you haven't told us anything about your computer, operating system,
antivirus, etc. all I can suggest is that you go through the preparatory
work here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375

What is the version of Windows Defender? Please go to Help, about, and post
the top most of the three version numbers there.

Are you on a large, managed network, where access to AutoUpdate is
restricted? Is there a WSUS server on the network?

Issue solved. Re-ran the Windows Update today and it was successful.
