Windows 7 Windows Update 80072EE2 error

[amuench]

Every time I run Windows Update in my 7 install, I get the the same 80072EE2 error and have no clue how to fix it. It seems to be effected by some sort of firewall, but I've tried using just windows, just mcafee, and nothing, but have had no success. It's also effecting a few of my other programs, like Zune, and I would REALLY like to get it fixed. Any help?

I switched off windows update in the start-up [click for the help link I tried]. Then after following the steps, windows uodate starts perfectly again.

thank you. after a few restarts, it started working on its own.
