Hello I have windows xp SP3 and Im having error 0xC8000402 when I run Windows Update. Can someone please? Thank you

Hi rbuja,

  1. What is the complete error message you receive when installing the update?
  2. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  3. When was the last time it was working fine?
  4. You have security software installed on the computer?
  5. You receive the error message when you install a specific update?

Method 1

I suggest that reset you Windows Update for default components and try to install the updates, check if it installs successfully.

If the previous step fails, then view update history to know what update fails to install on the computer.

(a) open Windows Update by clicking Start , all programsand then click Windows Update.

(b) in the left pane, click view update history.

    Hello

    Reset Windows Media DRM has allowed little to solve similar problems.

    Reset Windows Media DRM by deleting all files in the Windows Media DRM folder. Note that the Windows Media DRM folder is a hidden system folder. To view hidden folders and files, follow these steps:

    a. Click Start and then click my computer.
    b. on the Tools menu, click on Folder Options and then click the view tab.
    c. click Show files and folders and then click to clear the Hide protected operating system files check box.

    Location of the Windows Media DRM folder: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM

    If you can't find the Windows Media DRM folder, the exact location of the folder on the computer is stored in the following registry key. Ensure that this key points to a valid path:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DRM\DataPath

    Note By default, the path is displayed in binary format. To view the path to plain text, double-click DataPath. In the Edit binary value dialog box, the path is displayed in the right column.

    Important:
    this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.
