    KB3014406 update failing with error code 80073712


    Hi,
    I am getting a 'Windows Update encountered an unknown error" with the error code 80073712 when trying to install KB3014406. It is the only update which is failing to install.

    Unfortunately, the CBS.zip file is 32,8MB. Since you require the whole folder, I have uploaded it to my Dropbox at the following link:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/9xzja4jsqximzzk/CBS.zip?dl=1

    C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log file is attached below.

    CheckSUR found the following problems...
    Code:
    Unavailable repair files:

    The .mum and .cat files aren't actually wrong, usually - it's just a logic error, and has no effect.
    I'll post a fix protocol for the manifest files when I can clear the backlog (probably tomorrow)

    I've uploaded a file - asbaa.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
    Please download and save it.
    Right-click on the downloaded file, and select Extract all…
    Extract to the default location - which will create a new folder asbaa in the same place.
    Open this folder - there should be two folders inside it (Manifests, and Packages)

    Copy the content of the Packages folder to the folder
    C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Servicing\Packages

    And the content of the manifests folder (.manifest files) into this folder:

    C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Winsxs\Manifests

    Now run the CheckSUR tool again (it may take a while)

    Post the new CheckSUR.log file, and the CheckSUR.persist.log file.

    CheckSUR is happy now.

    With any luck, WU will now work - do a Check for Updates, and attempt to install ONLY the oldest found update - what happens?
    If it goes in OK, try the rest.
