Another case of failure with update KB2952664 - Error Code 8004402F

Hi, I am getting repeated failure of installation of the above package, necessary for the Windows 10 update next month. Every night the package tries to install, and then fails, reverting the changes and restarting a few times in the process. After Windows finally boots, in "Update History" it is shown as failed, however when I look at the list of installed updates it is there! But still regardless of this Windows Update tries to download and install.

What I have tried so far:

1) Uninstalling the update from Control Panel > Windows Update > List of Installed Updates
2) Uninstalling and re-installing .NET 4.5.2 (I saw this advice on a previous post)
3) After this Searching for updates again and installing

Unfortunately the same update failed and the same error code was reported.
I have downloaded the update file from Microsoft and was considering doing a manual install after uninstalling it again, but I'm not sure this is going to work, and it is frustrating seeing as the attempted install/failure/revert process takes about 30 mins. So I thought I would post here for help.

Here is a dropbox link to the CBS logs zip. (it's too large to attach)

In addition, here is a link to the C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log file should you require it:

Any help would be gratefully received!

Thanks

This looks as if you have a hack installed to bypass the limitations on Group Policy in lower editions of Windows 7.

CheckSUR is clear.

I'll post a fix when I can get to it.

I've uploaded afile - mk4aa.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel'sOneDrive

Please downloadand save it.
Right-click onthe saved file and select Extract all...

Change the targetto C:\ and click on Extract

Close all windows(it would be a good idea to print these instructions!)

Now reboot to theRepair Environment - as soon as the machine restarts, start tapping F8 - this should bring up the Advanced BootMenu, at the top of which should be the option'Repair my Computer'

Pick that

You'll have tolog in with your username and password.

Pick the optionto use a Command Prompt
At the prompttype

DIR C:\mk4aa

hit the enter key- if you get a 'Not Found' error try

DIR D:\mk4aa

or

DIR E:\mk4aa


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

XCOPY <drive>:\mk4aa <drive>:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h

(e.g. XCOPYP:\wfire P:\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 Enterkey to exit Command Prompt - reboot to Normal Mode Windows.

Now run SFC /SCANNOW in an Elevated Command Prompt

then reboot andupload the new CBS.log file to your reply

The SFC scan is clear now .

Do a Check for Updates, then attempt to install only the oldest update found -
If it goes in OK, try the rest
If it fails, post the C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log file

It looks like it may be a problem with permissions on the various Temp files that may be used by the installer.

Please open an elevated COmmand Prompt, and run the following commands:

CD %TEMP%
ICACLS %TEMP%
ICACLS C:\Windows\Temp
ICACLS %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp


Post the results...
