Windows 7 SP1 update rediness check errors...
The system in questions is a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, that I tried updating to Window 10. The initial problems are at this link:
Windows 7 upgrade to Windows 10... - Windows 10 Forums
Running the "Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x86.msu" results in many errors, that prevent the updating. Partial content of the "CheckSUR.log" file:
Both the manifest and catalog files in red above state "corrupt", but they do exists in the referenced folder. Opening the manifest file in notepad shows a blank page, so, it is corrupted.Code:Checking System Update Readiness.

Randomly checking the other missing manifest files show that they do exists and the files content is not blank. There's no way that I could check all over a thousand of them. Based on the result of the random sampling, is it safe to say that others are a OK and the missing errors are due to KB4038777 manifest and catalog corruption?
Regardless of the Windows 10 update, that may never take place, the Windows 7 system needs to be fixed. Windows update will not work correctly and may cause issues. At the moment, there are no issues with running this system, that had been installed about six years ego.
What would be the workable/best way to fix the corrupted manifest and catalog files:
- Download KB4038777 update, extract its content, copy/paste the extracted manifast and catalog files to "...servicing\Packages" folder
- Run the "repair fix, based on Brink's excellent tutorial, [url="https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/91738-windows-update-reset.html"]Windows Update - Reset - Windows 7 Help Forums
My preferred method would be #1, but I also don't want to run the KB947821 for over two hours, that will result in another long list of corrupted/missing manifest or catalog files. The repair option probably would take less time, just don't know, if it would fix all of these errors.
TIA...
