WU_E_TOOMANYRANGES
WU_E_TOOMANYRANGES means the update handler built an invalid content request with more byte ranges than the agent permits. The official limit represented by this code is extremely high, so ordinary fragmentation is not the explanation; it normally indicates bad metadata or defective handler logic.
What to check
- Capture the first range-related or content-processing error, which is often more revealing than the final HRESULT.
- Check whether the problem is tied to one update package or catalog source.
- Reacquire content from the supported source and avoid manually modifying partial payload files.
