    While the instructions were written well, and I also stopped the "BITS" as well still windows updates still "No Workie" even after a reboot. I find that alot of fixes mention this procedure but I have yet to find a fix for this issue. I have 3 systems that are identical, and 2 of them have this problem.

    In some configurations, you need to shut down BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) as well before it lets you rename the folder (BITS keeps DataStore.edb open). Great tip, even works on XP most of the time.

    While, I did update my Windows XP to Windows 8 smoothly. Now, what troubles me is that I have locked my Windows 8 admin password!
