I am having Internet Explorer 6 in my computer and when try to update it to a higher version it gets “Error Code : 0x8024000B” while performing the task. Please explain me why does it happen? And how to get rid of this error code.
This problem usually occur, if windows update or Microsoft update cannot read the update manifest.
For fixing said issue, rename the Spupdsvc.exe file (you can find this file through search box) and try to install the updates again OR to rename this, follow these steps:
Cmd /c ren %WinDir%System32Spupdsvc.exe Spupdsvc.old

Hello!
This error occurs when the updated manifest file could not be read. The direct way to fix this error is by typing “Cmd/c ren%systemroot%/System32/Spupdsvc.exe Spupdsvc.old” in Run (you can find Run by clicking “Start” button and select “Run”.
But, there are cases wherein a computer system does not recognize Cmd. In this case, follow the following steps:
1. Click on “Start” button, select Search and click on “For Files and Folders”.
2. Select “All files and folder” in the Search Results window and type in Cmd in “All or part of the file name”, and click “Search”. A list of search results will be displayed on the right side of the window. Find and right click “cmd.exe” and click “Run as”
3. Select “The following user” and indicate Administrator and fill in its password and click “OK”.
4. On the DOS window, type “Cmd /c ren %systemroot%System32Spupdsvc.exe Spupdsvc.old” and press enter.

Hello,
Already few of those answers are proven solution of this problem. But I tired in a new way and I got expected result. Find out “cmd” from accessories in the start menu. Now write “regedit” and then the registry window will appear. Now select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, a tree will appear form there select SOFTWARE, now select Microsoft from there Windows now CurrentVersion now you will see WindowsUpdate right click on it select permission.
This box will appear click on advance:
Now click on the checkbox and apply and ok.
Now restart the computer. This worked for me, I hope this will help you too.
Thank you,

When you update Microsoft Internet Explorer, you may encounter error “0x8024000B”. This problem doesn’t only affect the updating of the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser but can also be encountered when you try to install a Service Pack, Windows Updates, hotfixes, and even when you try to install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1.
According to Microsoft support, the problem is caused by a corrupt “Spupdsvc.inf” or “Spupdsvc.exe” file located in the system32 folder. To fix the problem, you simply need to rename these files with different file names like for instance without quotes “Spupdsvc_.exe” or “Spupdsvc_old.inf”. These files are located in “C:\WINDOWS\system32”.
You don’t need to delete them, just give them a different name so that when a process calls and executes them, they will not be found and the execution is halted. Depending on your operating system, you should locate only one of these files like mine I only have the “spupdsvc.exe” file.
