Windows 7: Windows 7 32-Bit Service Pack 1 Installation Error...

Wonder if you guys can help with an installation of SP1 for Windows 7 32-Bit. I have attached the cbs.log containing the error information however all the fixes suggested around the net (disable AV, selected startup, install in safe mode etc) don't work and the service pack still fails to install.



I am not sure what it is I am looking for in the log but if someone can help me out by pointing me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Cheers!

There are known issues with SP-1. Some requiring re-installation of certain previous updates. Google it.

what is the error codes you get (if any)?

I have googled it and every case has suggested different things, I have tried them all.

The error code is 800F0826

Look here, last page 5, post # 43:

Troubleshooting Windows 7 SP1 install:
List of Available Hotfixes for Windows 7

Cheers but having read through them all none of them apply to this issue.

It's a bit pathetic in 2011 that they can't even roll out an update without creating a cryptic error that could potentially be caused by anything, even their own help system for the error tells you absolutely nothing.

have you tried to download the package x86.exe as stand-alone then run it again?
Download details: Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB976932)

Looks the previous one was corrupted.

Yeah man just literally finished doing that now, gets to 2% on configuring the service pack and then fails and says reverting changes, attached the screenshot of the error. Getting frustrating now as I have spent a good few hours on this, I'm just going round in circles now.

That's the last bit of the log where it falls over.

I wonder how is set DEP (Data Execution Prevention) in your system parameters and if you have MSE aswell. In that case set DEP lowest to Windows services and programs only (reboot) and disable MSE the time to install SP1.

Thanks for the reply. From what I can see DEP is already selected for Services and Programs only.

I was on live support with a Microsoft represnetitive for over 3 hours last night and after exhausting all of the fixes around the net he elevated my support call for call back from someone else higher up tomorrow. To be honest I have little faith in actually resolving this without a clean install. I have tried registry fixes, uninstalling drivers, safe mode booting, using driver cleaning software, uninstalling specific updates, changing specific services to start automatically, tried everything. I think because it bombs out so early on in the configuration of the Service Pack that there are fundemental files that are either missing or corrupt and these are files that the Windows Repair/Check Disk and SFC are failing to pickup on.

I am left with the unfortunate possiblity of having to reinstall Windows
