I've got a problem where the BITS service
won't start - it causes an error 1035.
However it's properties indicate only one dependency, the Remote Procedure
Call RPC, which *is* started. It must be, since other things such as Norton
anti-virus autoupdate uses it, and that works fine. For some reason, the
BITS seems to think it has a dependency unavailable, but I can't see what.
I'm running XP Home Edition. Windows auto update did work once so something
has happened to cause this fault.
From the microsoft.public.windows.backgroundtransfer
newsgroup
BITS has a dependency on one more service called
'Lanmanworkstation'
and it appears that service has been uninstalled from your machine. This
happens if you remove the 'Client
for Microsoft Networks' networking
component from LAN properties.
If you reinstall the component using the following procedure, then BITS will
start as expected.
Reinstalling "Client for Microsoft Networks" networking component
- Select 'Start | Settings | Control Panel'
- Double-click 'Network and Internet
Connections' and then 'Network
Connections'. Here you should see the 'Local
Area Connection' icon.
- Right-click on that icon and select 'Properties'.
The 'Local Area Connection Properties'
dialog box pops up.
- In the dialog box that opens:
- Select 'Install...' The 'Select
Network Component Type' dialog box opens.
- Select 'Client' and click 'Add...'
- Select 'Client for Microsoft Networks'
and press 'OK' (the installation may
prompt for Windows XP CD)
- Select 'Cancel' in the 'Select
Network Component Type' dialog box.
- Click 'Close' in the 'Local
Area Connection Properties' dialog box.
-
You should now be able to Start the BITS service.
