Cannot Complete Installing Updates, or Check for New Updates

I've found all the missing files except 4 - which all relate to an update I can find no record of, to do with graphics. Have you installed any hotfix patches??

Here's the 'fix' for the remainder....



I've uploaded a file - quagxx.zip - to my SkyDrive at https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=936736BB8FCEB92F&id=936736BB8FCEB92F%21526
Please download and save it.
Right-click on the saved file and select Extract all...
Change the target to C:\ and click on Extract
This should create a folder C:\quagxx
Close all windows (it would be a good idea to print these instructions!)
Now reboot to the Repair Environment - as soon as the machine restarts, start tapping F8 - this should bring up the Advanced Boot Menu, at the top of which should be the option 'Repair my Computer'
Pick that
You'll have to log in with your username and password.
Pick the option to use a Command Prompt
At the prompt type
DIR C:\quagxx
hit the enter key - if you get a 'Not Found' error try
DIR D:\quagxx
or
DIR E:\quagxx

The drive letter in use when you find the folder will need to be substituted (for<drive>) into the following command...

XCOPY <drive>:\quagxx <drive>:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h

run the command (it should take almost no time)and when the prompt returns, type
EXIT
and hit the Enter key to exit Command Prompt - reboot to Normal Mode Windows.

Now run SFC /SCANNOW in an Elevated Command Prompt

then reboot and upload the new CBS.log file to your SkyDrive Public folder, and post a new link

Hello QuagsireQing,

In order to find where those remaining 4 files came from, we need a bit more information. Would you mind uploading this file to your Skydrive for me please?

C:\Windows\system32\config\COMPONENTS (it has no file extension)

Edit: Temporarily posting this: kb2454826

Good - SFC completed without throwing any fits (although it's still doing a lot in the background, and generating a lot of errors)
Please now run the CheckSUR tool again, and post the new report.

I'll leave this for Tom -

The CheckSUR shows the following files missing....

Code:

Checking Component Store
(f) CSI Payload File Missing 0x00000000 cdd.dll x86_microsoft-windows-lddmcore_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.20830_none_ac59a14f5dd9e4eb

Those files have completely stumped me! They traced back to KB2454826, yet when I download and extract the files from KB2454826, none of them have a 6.1.7600.20830 version number It is a v2 update, so I'm guessing the files were from the original, which I can't find anywhere other than on torrent websites, and god knows what's been embedded in those files.

The MS download link is dead, so I think it's a lost cause:

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...-1AC04F3B2A13/Windows6.1-KB2454826-x86.msu

I think the only way forward would be to do a repair install I'm afraid

Repair Install

It's not so much the drivers that are likely to need re-updating, - but all the Updates since SP1 will need to be reinstalled.
Take them in batches - I tend to leave all the .NET ones until last, and do the Security ones first.
Do batches of no more than 10 at a time (oldest first), and reboot in between batches at least twice to make sure that everything is properly bedded-in.
Why leave the .NET until last? - they are the most likely to cause problems - so do them no more than 5 at a time, and expect one or two to fail (usually because they are expecting file versions that don't yet exist) but they will usually install on the second or third attempt.
