KB974431 Fails (Not the invalid key problem tho!)
My brand-new, retail copy of Windows 7 x64 Ultimate will not apply update KB974431. Unlike all of the articles I can find here or elsewhere by searching, I do not get 90% done and fail, and I have a very valid, properly activated copy of Windows 7. Here are the corresponding Event Viewer items:
Standalone Installer Setup Entries:
Windows update "Update for Windows (KB974431)" could not be installed because of error 2147942413 "The data is invalid." (Command line: ""C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe" "C:\Users\Erik\Desktop\Windows6.1-KB974431-x64.msu" ")
Windows update "Update for Windows (KB974431)" could not be installed because of error 2147942487 "The parameter is incorrect." (Command line: ""C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe" "C:\Users\Erik\Desktop\Windows6.1-KB974431-x64.msu" /log ")
Windows Update Entries:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070057: Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB974431)
Any ideas? I already renamed the SoftwareDistribution folder, and have tried it with and without antivirus installed. I am in IT, so even complicated solutions are welcome. Thanks!
