Repair Install Fails, Then Reverts - "The upgrade was not successful."
Posted this on other websites without much luck. Hopefully there's some hope posting here.
As titled, I'm trying to do a repair install of Windows 7. Current install and license are from Win 7 Family Pack (Home Prem x64). Installed SP1 since then. Attempting to perform a repair install from the Home Prem x64 TechNet ISO (X17-24209.iso), burned to a flash drive. Everything works great, up until it fails nearing the end of the upgrade and then rolls back.
It gets through several reboots, all the way up to the 4th phase, "Installing Features and Updates" before giving up. It then gives the message "The upgrade was not successful. Your previous version of Windows is being restored. Do not restart your computer during this time." Thankfully, it successfully restores, boots back up, and then gives a bubble to that effect.
Another site suggested it could be Windows Update failing. I installed a patch to ensure it was functioning. So I doubt it's Windows Update.
Perhaps these logs help:
C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setuperr.log:
setuperr.log - Pastebin.com
C:\$UPGRADE.~OS\OfflineUpgradeStore\File\C$\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log:
WindowsUpdate.log - Pastebin.com
Any ideas?
