Can't install Win7 SP1 for x64 (KB976932)
[On Windows 7 Professional x64] (error codes 80070570, 80240016, 800736CC, etc., etc.)
Initially it failed to install, and then my system started crashing quite often and the file system became corrupted. I finally fixed the file system, backed up to a restore point prior to the failed install, and tried to install again. It kept crashing and/or failing first during the download and then after that finally got downloaded after several crashes it failed during the installation phase with a Windows Update error 800736CC. I then followed the instructions and deleted the files in the two windows folders and tried again, and it failed again during the download. After that I ran the little "fix" program that was recommended (Fixit50202.msi) and tried again. And, of course, it failed again.
So is this "update" just bug infested or something? It won't download right, won't install right, and even making the attempt seems to have messed up my system so that it no longer works properly.
What do I do at this point? Roll back to a restore point two months ago? At this point I'm thinking this silly update has just about fouled things up past the point of no return. And it looks like lots of people are in the same boat? What am I supposed to do now?
