Running XP Pro with SP3.
Getting Windows Update errors. Where is the XP Pro Windows Update log folder? Can I delete all entries and start over?

Bob...
 
What is the error you are getting? Is this is case of installing SP3 and after that you can download updates but get an error when they try and install?

What errors are you seeing?

Whereabouts do you want to "Start over"?

Is System Restore an option?

Or a repair Install?

How to read the Windowsupdate.log file


This will tell you about the SoftwareDistribution folder, which I think was your main question?

You receive a "0x80070002" or "0x80070003" error code after you download an update from Windows Update, from Microsoft Update, or from Windows Server Update Services
