config failing after fresh install-many many fails
Hello folk, hoping someone can point us to a resolution here.
We did a fresh install of Windows Seven on our quite old desktop, specs below, and all seemed to go quite well until we got to updating. We got SP1 on, though it took longer than it ought and IIRC we did have a couple of failed installs and invoked a Microsoft Fixit. Couldn't say whether it worked or not, but we got some more updates on after that. We then wanted to put an HP printer driver on, and THAT wanted .NET, and offered to put that on, which it did - version 4.5. After that we started getting configuration difficulties with windows updates. Looking down the failed list we saw .NET 3 there and wondered if that was right. The machine keeps downloading and installing different numbers of updates, but we never get past configuration, so it rolls back. Can you help please? We are reasonably computer savvy, but we do not know what to do or where to look for a solution.
Event viewer defines one of the many many failures as CbsPackageServicingFailure2, and 0x800705b4 and KB3046269 are mentioned as well. Can you help please?
