What is the error message 0x80070003 mean on windows
update. How do I fix this?
Hi

Error 0x80070003 is

COR_E_DIRECTORYNOTFOUND
The specified path couldn't be found - ALLUSERSPROFILE Microsoft
network dir doesn’t exist


Some troubleshooting tips:

You receive error message 0x80070003 when you try to update Windows
from the Windows Update Web site

When you attempt to update Windows XP from the Windows Update Web site,
you receive error 0x80070003?

If the above doesn't fix your problem, try this as well:

If the directory "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network"
does not exist, you will get this error.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE% is normally "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users"


To verify existence/create this folder, you can do like this:

Press Start/Run, and fill in this:

"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft"


Press OK, and the Microsoft folder should open.

If you do not see a sub folder with the name "Network" there,
create it, using File\New --> Folder and then enter Network
