Hello,

The following command:

bitsadmin /transfer dl_job https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe vc_redist.x64.exe

returns the following error:

Unable to add file - 0x80070057

Though, it's correct according to the documentation.

    Are you sure that the current directory is correct?

    Instead of using a relative path, try using the complete file path as the last parameter. E.g. c:\MyDir\vc_redist.x64.exe

    That error code points to a storage problem. Either the file you downloaded is damaged or there was a problem writing the file to your local disk.
