Many Issues!

Try resetting the Windows Update components and then see if you can run through the repair install again. How do I reset Windows Update components?

I apply the downloadable fix and this is the report! I will go now with the repair install again. If it doesnt work again I wil go for the manul fix and let you know the results.

Thx!

file!

Looks good. Let us know how things go as you proceed through the repair and/or manual fix.

Hi, the automatic fix did not work, I was again stuck at the "searching for updates" step in repair install.

Then I go for the manual fix and I do follow numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 (not 8 because I have win7) and there were a lot of BITS files that can't be reregistered (sc6 shows respective errors and cmd 1 and 2 show the process).

I will stop here for now because it is very late here ))) but early tomorrow I guess that I will have to go for the step 4 (the hardfix) and see what happen.

I'll let you know results asap.

Thanks again for all your help, this looks like a very tricky repair (if it can be done)!!

I note that you ran in a normal command prompt. I wonder if it would be better to run in an Elevated Command Prompt for those commands to work as intended. May be worth a try.

True, I forgot to got for an elevated command prompt I will go for it and let you now the new results.

Hi writhziden, more and less the same result with the elevated command prompt (sc7) plus I do apply this time the 11 step and the WUA encounter and error as well !! I will go now for the step 4 (hardfix).

cheers,

Hi, well the hardfix didn't work either.

As you can see in the attached files (sc8 and cmd4) I am receiving errors and it is not possible to reset WU components properly.

On step 4 I wasn't able to rename the catroot2 folder so I proceed without renaming that one.

Normal WU is not working now (it was before) as it keep checking for updates and never came with something.

Inside repair install both options are not working either (with and without updates).

Any other option to go for :) ?

cheers

Hi, just a quick comment, It looks like WU was able to detect pending updates but it wasn't able to download them. (sc9).

It looks like something is going on with the download process (the same inside the repair install attemps)

cheers,
