5) My Winsock key is corrupt? WTF I dont even wear shoes...

Go to a command prompt and type

Quote
netsh winsock reset

Then REBOOT immediately

6) I see an error message that looks like this

Error During Download: System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced

Your Winsock key is corrupt! One of your network firewall/proxies whatever screwed it up. See above for fixes.

Alright, so I'm having problems with WAU. Whenever I run it, and use the option to Reload Index, I get this error:

Well, according to the "Common Problems" thread, I have a corrupt Winsock key. So, I followed the instructions to fix it, and after rebooting, I still get this error. Any help?

Ehm, nevermind. Fixed my own problem, apparently I needed SP2 for XP...

Well, uninstalled multiple times, refreshed my winsock, reinstalled the net framework, same error EVERY time

Reinstall .net framework 2.0

Since I've had SP3 for Winxp32 installed, can't run wau. Had been running .46
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling .net 2.0 and tried reinstalling.
Can't even reinstall (or even uninstall from the control panel).
I get the errors below when running any version of the installer.
