Windows update service

[Tomas]

Problem with service for Windows update.
Platform Windows 2000 Prof. sp3.
Has used the utility SC.EXE (in resource kit) to remove
the service wuauserv for windows update.
Now I whant to use the service again, has tryed the syntax:
"sc create wuauserv binpath= "c:\winnt\system32\svchost -k
wugroup" displayname= "Automatisk uppdatering" start= auto"
byt can't get the service to start, (time out)
My question is How to reinstall the windows update service
without reinstall Windows?
(has no icon in control panel left)

Hi

This command line should install the AutoUpdate service for Win2k and WinXP
(line will wrap in the newsreader!):

%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection AutoUpdate 132
%SystemRoot%\inf\au.inf


If it asks for your OS CD-rom to get some files, just point it to the
folder %windir%\servicepackfiles\i386

If BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) is missing as well,
this one should put it back:
