alright ... I've searched for the named component in the cbs log file, deleted its registry entry

the SP1 setup gauge was at the end already when it finished with a new error:
800736B3 ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_NOT_FOUND

but I can't tell the cause of this problem this time D:

edit: after I ran the sp prep tool again, the 80004005 error occours again (the one about x86_microsoft-windows-mail-core-dll_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_585517a9869db81d)

now I can't install SP1 because of an 80004005 error, it has to do with the winmail (mail_core_something)

3 things I tried: deleted the registry entry that has to do with mail_core in the sidebyside/winners part of the registry
I replaced all winmail files by files from another "unpatched" Windows 7 PC
I ran the /scanmfc command, which found errors that couldn't be fixed

how do I install SP1 now?

Thanks for any help!
I`m afraid your only option is to do a fresh install of Windows 7 and them install SP1 and then put in Windows Mail.

I did it this way and Windows Mail works perfectly.

Unless someone can provide a link to the new version of the DLL , it will be necessary to obtain the latest Microsoft Update "MSU" file, then manually extract the latest version of the MSOE.DLL, in order to restore "safe" operation of Windows Mail within Windows7

Look here to find the relevent version of the "Vista" DLL that you will require to copy over to Windows 7 MS10-030: Vulnerability in Outlook Express and Windows Mail could allow remote code execution

Download the MSU from here
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS10-030 - Critical: Vulnerability in Outlook Express and Windows Mail Could Allow Remote Code Execution (978542)

For information on extracting MSU files, look here...
How to extract msu/msp/msi/exe files on the command line WindowsWiki
Sorry but that stuff about extracting the file using the command line is a bit beyond me.
I've downloaded the file and looked at the contents using winrar. There are several winmail .dll files but I'm not sure which one I need. Please see screenshot attachment. Or have I even got right files?
Thanks.

Surely there's a better way than this. I have two PCs with this same problem, and honestly, if I have to reinstall Windows to get SP1 working, I'm not going to perform this hack again...

Has ANYONE found a fix for the 80004005 SP1 error??

Have you gave a Repair Install on Your Windows 7 a go to see if this will eliminate your SP1 install problems and then try and install SP1 and then Windows Mail afterwards?

I totally understand chaoticyeshua
reinstalling everything on this PC just because of SP1 having trouble with winmail ... ugh, that's the very last step I want to think about right now

I also ponder trying a repair install, but this will reset some things and I'm also a bit scared (I'll make a backup beforehand, then try it out, but it's also a bite of a pita)

there's no way to remove or alter the winmail files/registry data to make sp1 work?
the whole winmail thing doesn't sound like it's a big thing :/

Hi Greg,

I downloaded it from a re-direct in a post in "Windows 7 Forums", which I think is a different forum to this one. The name has a different format. The downside as you suspected is that the download for 64bit Win 7 is 903MB.

The following are two links.

The first is to a a link to the Win 7 Forums post here which is in my humble opinion is definitely worth a read.

Half way down the post page it directs you to the actual Microsoft download site. This is a link to the M$ download here.

You're right, it is a big download, but when I rang M$ to try and get a DVD posted out they said it wasn't yet available to the public on disc.

The third way would be to go to the M$ download center and search for KB976932.

Sorry I can't be more helpful in getting the update via Windows Update engine.

Cheers PB

Short of reloading Windows, the only other things you could try would be to:

1. Run a sysem file check, by typing the following code in the Run box and then clicking OK or pressing Enter on the keyboard: sfc /scannow

This should repair/replace any damaged/missing Windows 7 operating system files.

2. Restore you system to an earlier restore point.

3. There are many posts on ths error message found via Google by typing in the search engine: Fix for Windows 7 SP1 Error No: 80004005

I have successfully loaded SP1 on both 32 & 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate systems with WinMail enabled, and the only adjustment needed was to replace the msoe.dll file in the Windows Mail folder in program files as per Step 4 of the tutorial.

It is critical NOT to have interfered with any of the other original Windows 7 files in the Windows Mail folder, in either the normal 64bit Program Files or the 32bit Program Fieles(x86).

Thanks. I found a link for x86 download. It was more pathetic than WinUpdate. Lesson learnt. Checking the box for do not install or bug me. Done with updating MS and their bloat language files and anytime upgrade extras. I have enough security in place to compensate for their updated language files, lol.
