BITS Error Codes

Hexadecimal Error Code	Decimal Error Code	Error String	Description
0x80072EE2	-2147012894	ERROR_INTERNET_ TIMEOUT	Some network problem. Server/proxy not reachable. We have also seen this with MS Proxy 2.0 (BITS 1.5 and below) and SunOne 3.6 proxy (BITS 2.0) because these proxies don't support HTTP 1.1 very well.
0x80070422	-2147023838	ERROR_SERVICE_ DISABLED	In almost all cases user has probably disabled BITS service incorrectly thinking that it would improve the computer perfomance.
0x80190194	-2145844844	BG_E_HTTP_ ERROR_404	The URL is not found on the server. May be an issue with server cluster.
0x800704DD	-2147023651	ERROR_NOT_ LOGGED_ON	This error could occur if the installation is initiated with "Run As" command or from a Terminal services session (only on win2k).
0x80072EE7	-2147012889	ERROR_INTERNET_ NAME_NOT_RESOLVED	The server/proxy is unreachable. Probably because of the incorrect IE proxy settings of the user. If the user is able to download the URL via IE and cannot download through BITS then it is definitely a BITS problem. If the user has set autoproxy detection wpad should resolve to the machine that has the autoproxy script.
0x80072EFD	-2147012867	ERROR_INTERNET_ CANNOT_CONNECT	The web server is not running or the web server is running on a different port or the proxy is unreachable probably because of incorrect IE proxy settings of the user. If the user is able to download the URL via IE and cannot download through BITS then it is definitely a BITS problem. If the user has set autoproxy detection wpad should resolve to the machine that has the autoproxy script.
0x80070433	-2147023821	ERROR_SERVICE_ DEPENDENCY_DELETED	One of the services BITS depends on could not be started. BITS depends on Rpcss on all Oses. BITS depends on SENS and WMI on win2k. If SENS is disabled BITS cannot start. BITS 1.0 and 1.2 incorrectly depend on lanmanworkstation.
0x801901F7	-2145844745	BG_E_HTTP_ERROR_503	The server is overloaded. BITS will retry automatically.
0x80200013	-2145386477	BG_E_INSUFFICIENT_ RANGE_SUPPORT	The proxy doesn't support HTTP range requests. Or the URL is a dynamic URL. BITS supports only static URLs.
0x80200010	-2145386480	BG_E_NETWORK_ DISCONNECTED	Network is disconnected
0x80072EFE	-2147012866	ERROR_INTERNET_ CONNECTION_ ABORTED	Some network problem or the server/proxy reset the socket connection.
0x8007042C	-2147023828	ERROR_SERVICE_ DEPENDENCY_FAIL	One of the services BITS depends on could not started. BITS depends on Rpcss on all Oses. BITS depends on SENS and WMI on win2k. If SENS is disabled BITS cannot start. BITS 1.0 and 1.2 incorrectly depend on lanmanworkstation.
0x80080005	-2146959355	CO_E_SERVER_ EXEC_FAILURE	BITS service could not be started.
0x80070424	-2147023836	ERROR_SERVICE_ DOES_NOT_EXIST	BITS service is deleted.
0x80190197	-2145844841	BG_E_HTTP_ ERROR_407	The proxy requires credentials to authenticate the user but the credentials are not supplied. BITS 1.2 and below supported only implicit credentials (NTLM authentication)
0x80070020	-2147024864	ERROR_SHARING_ VIOLATION	BITS failed to create/write to a file.
0x80040155	-2147221163	REGDB_E_ IIDNOTREG	BITS interfaces are unregistered or the registry settings are messed up.
0x80190193	-2145844845	BG_E_HTTP_ ERROR_403	Something wrong with server
0x80040154	-2147221164	REGDB_E_ CLASSNOTREG	BITS interfaces are unregistered or the registry settings are invalid.
0x8020001B	-2145386469	BG_E_INVALID_ SERVER_RESPONSE	The proxy doesn't support HTTP 1.1 correctly.
0x8007043B	-2147023813	ERROR_ SERVICE_NOT_IN_EXE	The user has messed up with service groups and removed BITS from the netsvcs service group
0x80190198	-2145844840	BG_E_HTTP_ ERROR_408	Unable to reach the server
0x80070005	-2147024891	E_ACCESSDENIED	Access denied.
0x80072AFC	-2147013892	WSANO_DATA	The machine is not able to resolve the proxy/server. WSANO_DATA means that the name-resolution component recognizes the hostname, but has no IP addresses associated with it. An example is when the network is disconnected after a successful lookup, and the now-unreachable IP address is trimmed from the DNS cache.
0x80200011	-2145386479	BG_E_MISSING_ FILE_SIZE	The proxy doesn't support HTTP 1.1 correctly. Or the URL is a dynamic URL. BITS supports only static URLs
0x80070057	2147942487	E_INVALIDARG	If we see this error when BITS service is started or if there is an entry in the eventlog that says that BITS service could not be started because of this error code then it means that system-wide proxy settings configured using the proxycfg.exe tool are corrupted. 2. BITS 1.5 and below returned this error code when invalid proxy information is supplied. BITS 2.0 returns a more informative BG_E_INVALID_PROXY_INFO error. Any other API when called with incorrect parameters could give this error Workaround: 1. Ensure the APIs are correctly called and the proxy information is correctly supplied. Upgrade to BITS 2.0
0x801901F4	-2145844748	BG_E_HTTP_ RROR_500	Server error.
0x80070070	-2147024784	ERROR_ DISK_FULL	The disk is full.
0x80190190	-2145844848	BG_E_HTTP_ ERROR_400	The download URL is invalid
0x80190195	-2145844843	BG_E_HTTP_ ERROR_405	Proxy doesn't support HTTP 1.1 or more specifically rejects HTTP HEAD requests.
0x801901A0	-21458448	BG_E_HTTP_ ERROR_416	HTTP error 416.
0x8007041D	-2147023843	ERROR_SERVICE_ REQUEST_ TIMEOUT	Service is taking a lot of time to start. We have seen this in service stress conditions.
0x8020000D	-2145386483	BG_E_ DESTINATION_ LOCKED	Some other program like chkdsk is currently running which locked the disk and so BITS is not able to write to the disk.
0x800706BA	-2147023174	RPC_S_SERVER_ UNAVAILABLE	Probably the BITS service is stopped while the app is trying to access it.
0x80072AF9	-2147013895	WSAHOST_ NOT_FOUND	Machine not able to resolve proxy/server. We have also seen this problem on Windows XP RTM (BITS 1.0) with a modem connection in the lab. This error could occur if the proxy server is not resolvable without the fully qualified domain suffix. This problem has been fixed in BITS 1.2 and above
0x8019019B	-2145844837	BG_E_HTTP_ ERROR_411	Proxy incorrectly expecting content-length in the HTTP requests.
0x8007043C	-2147023812	ERROR_NOT_ SAFEBOOT_SERVICE	The service is not supported in the safe boot mode.
0x800700E7	-2147024665	ERROR_PIPE_BUSY	SCM is under stress.
0x800704CF.	-2147023665	ERROR_NETWORK_ UNREACHABLE	Network problems.
0x800703EB	-2147023893	ERROR_CAN_ NOT_COMPLETE	Probably BITS service is stopped.
0x8007041F	-2147023841	ERROR_SERVICE_ DATABASE_LOCKED	SCM is under stress.
0x80072EE4	-2147012892	ERROR_INTERNET_ INTERNAL_ERROR	Internal winhttp error
0x80072EF1	-2147012879	ERROR_INTERNET_ OPERATION_ CANCELLED	Internal winhttp error
Internal winhttp error	-2147012744	ERROR_WINHTTP_ INVALID_SERVER_ RESPONSE	Winhttp received some error while communicating with proxy/server. Or the proxy server doesn’t support HTTP 1.1 correctly. We have seen this with MS proxy 2.0. INVALID_ SERVER_RESPONSE indicates a syntax error in the response headers, which could be caused by a flaky proxy, data corruption along the way, or the connection being broken by a graceful close.
0x8020002E	-2145386450	BG_E_CONNECTION_ CLOSED	You should only see this error in the Windows Server 2008 builds. It was included in some Windows XP SP2 builds by mistake and later removed. Instead you should see one of the WINHTTP connection errors. Anyway the reason is that the proxy/server is not reachable
0x8020003F	-2145386433	BG_E_INVALID_ PROXY_INFO	Invalid proxy settings.
