Replace Update Component

Here's the prob, hope someone can help me figure this out.

I have a problem connecting to windowsupdate.microsoft.com, I get connected but at first redirection I get a 404 error.
I found that my Update Component in %Windir%\Downloaded Program Files is corrupted... I guess this is the reason why all of a sudden my windowsupdate connection failed.

I was looking for someone who can tell me how can I replace that damaged component.
This happened to me with W2k some time ago and I remember MS gave the chance to re-download the advpack.exe to replace the core of wupdate ext, no way for XP...
 
Go to Start .. run and type sfc

= the system file checker

and should fix it
 
you need to type sfc /scannow at the run prompt other wise it just lashes up the options

alternatily open a command window by running cmd and then type sfc to get the full list of options
 
Yes I know that... that's what I did!
What I meant is nothing happened AFTER the scan... the component is still missing.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
