Error 8024002D

A little while back I moved to Office 2013 (from 2010) however in the past few days I noticed that Windows Update wanted to install 2 updates – both of which would fail with error code 80024002D.

As it turns out this was a lingering update from Office 2010 that was trying to install, naturally as 2010 was now long gone there was nothing to update – hence the error message!

As Office 2010 was no longer in Add/Remove programs I had to resort to the Fix it program (save to your PC run in compatibility mode if you are on Windows 8) in Microsoft KB 290301.

Once I ran the Fix it program I refreshed Windows update and boom the problem was gone!
