Update installation error on a Windows XP pro machine in offline mode

-199: CoCreateInstance failed to return an IUpdateServiceManager interface pointer. HRESULT: -2147221164

This indicates a problem with Windows Update on the target computer.

This HRESULT translates to:

0x80040154 -2147221164 REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG

BITS in Windows 2000 is dependent on SENS and EventSystem services.

If COM+ catalog is corrupted, one of these errors was seen.

I would suggest that you start by making sure the target computer has the most recent version of the Windows Update Agent (WUA). You can get it from here:

If you still have problems after that, it might indicate that there is registry corruption or some other system corruption. At that point I would suggest reviewing the following google search results to see if any of them addresses your issue.
