Error while installing Windows Update, error 80070490
Hello, I am attempting to install a Windows Update for Service Pack 1, and cannot do so. I'm running Windows Ultimate x64 bit, and need the Service Pack to run a couple programs I cannot run without it - namely Dolphinx64 netplay.
That being beside the point, I have attempted to run the ISO file downloaded from the Microsoft website and have attempted using the online Windows Update in my system. I also tried manually upgrading my Windows 7 using a x64 Windows 7 ISO install file and selecting "upgrade", but it didn't let me because I "can't upgrade a 64-bit system to a 32-bit system" and "can't upgrade a 32-bit system to a 64-bit system". I got both of these errors at the same time - so that's a dunce.
I also used the System Update Readiness Tool found at :
Fix Windows corruption errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool
and it didn't work either.
As stated in the title, the error code is 80070490. Attached is the CBS zip file asked for in the instructions for posting. I couldn't copy the CBS.log file -- and all the times I attempted to take ownership didn't work. If required, I will try again to get it. For the time being, I used an elevated command prompt to open the CBS log via notepad with a notepad command, and copied all contents into a notepad and included that with my .rar.
I also ran sfc /scannow before uploading this all, so that has been done as well.
Any help is much appreciated, and thank you in advance!
I'm going to be checking on this thread a lot throughout the night until about 3-4 A.M. PST (7 hours or so). So feel free to respond and check back often, I'll be responding a lot!
