Solved Failing to update?

[Alexey2912]

Thanks.

The issues I normally face with failed updates are not with IE 11 or 12 .NET 4 x.x. framework updates, they get installed smoothly, but either with 22 odd .NET 3.x.x ones, or cumulative for IE 11 or while installing 124 for W7 security.

Only once all went smoothly with only 1 failed.... I was stupid to redo...

Best regards.

Hi,
Yea I was going to ask if you made a system image of that one

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

Wish I had.........

I got over confident, thought if I got 1 failed update, what the heck assumed that on a redo would get NONE!! :huh:

As JT said in an old movie " Assumption is the mother of all fu _ _ ups."

Best regards!



Shall keep you posted......

 

[Alexey2912]

These 28 failed yesterday.....

Using Brink's bat can install them now, but would give 1 last try....

You know TharshZone what bothers me the most......is installing W7 and the 2 updates rest is easy.....

Sitting watching for 15 mins, each step, clicking yes, typing Product key etc etc...

Thanks again.


Edit:

Even tried 2 at a time than when got 1st error with .NET 3.x.x, said to myself despite playing safe and still got an error, than went for 124 W7 security in one go, of them only 109 got installed...errors crossed 20 rather 26...

Hi,
Well I do see my friend KB3020369 on that list
I'd uncheck all and install that one by it's self and see how it goes

I did say earlier it causes other updates to fail if it's installed with anything else

You could also uncheck just it and try to install the others without KB3020369

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

Yes I do remember, but never installed it alone, when got 1 error.....

I'd remember to install it alone today......btw when should it be installed, at any step or after IE 11, and .NET 4..x, and before .NET 3.x.x, W7 security and cumulative for IE 11......or it doesn't matter?

Thanks again.......you got a great eye.


Edit:

I can only cure Cancers but cant install W7......such an irony!!

 

[Alexey2912]

Hey, I owe you big time, you certainly have the patience to bear a persistent old man who is or tries to be a perfectionist in all walks of life.....

Wish lived around Houston area would have come running to you....

If I got hold of some funds, shall get your expert opinion to make a rig similar to yours......around 10,000 bucks.

Plan gaming too, haven't ever online, at this old age......

Thanks again.

Hi,
No problem
Well no you don't need that much money I believe mine was 3200.us but I did assemble it
Probably could of saved a few hundred changing a few items

When to install KB3020369
I waited until all the others were installed then install it last
But I installed all of them in one shot and so only KB3020369 was unchecked.

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

To sum up KB3020369 is the culprit lol, and should be taken care of, since I do in batches vs. all in one go, I'd uncheck it each time and install at the end....does that sound fine to you?

3,500 bucks for such a great machine, I thought would be around 10,

I'd ask you once I have funds around 10, for expert suggestions to make a custom desktop, top of the line, high end like yours!

Thanks again.

Hi,
That should be fine installing like you say there

You really shouldn't have to pay that much
Shipping to the Island might be a little more but gaming system usually run about 2500-3500.00
No need to pay 10k unless you want 3 of them

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

I understand that shipping almost anything to the island costs extra.

Yes I want all 3.

ThrashZone, a few questions that struck my mind.

1. Last time was updating in batches, so our friend KB3020369 was always unchecked, till I got the 1st error with .NET 3.x.x.x...... than why a fail?

2. When I activate W7 online, without even check for updates the size on disk increases by approx. 400-500 MB is that a normal Windows/MS thing?

Best regards.

Hi,

This is to reports, strange things.

Installed W7, updated fine till Recommended ones and IE 11, 12 X.NET SP 4.x.x.

Than as you do, did a full 163 updates install, of which 133 got installed, 29 failed.

On reboot displayed those 29 but won't install, ran check for updates it kept running.

Recalled those 3 updates that you suggested, installed 1st and 3rd since displayed 2nd was already there.....

Check for updates, reveals 23 important, but won't download any if I check all, with the smallest a 172 kb W7 security, tries downloading but than displays an error.

I have so many questions.....

1. Why didn't initially after 29 failed, on restart couldn't download them?

2. Why do I need the 3 updates now, when check for updates get stuck?

3. 2nd is already there....wired?

4. Now after the 2 installed manually why cant it download?

1st time happened, is it cause my laptop is ancient?

Hoping to hear your expert thoughts,

Best regards!

 

[Alexey2912]

Screenshots of failed updates, and of updates errors after installing the 2, 1st and 3rd, for your expert views.

Thanks.



Edit:

1st time I had to install the 2 of the 3 updates you recommended, and still doesn't update?

That 1 failed update time, was may be a mere fluke but I should have grabbed.

Not sure see if this helps
As always switch the update settings to Never check for updates first and restart,

Thanks for your expert assistance.

Hi,
After that please run sfc /scannow
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

If errors are found
Restart and run it again
Repeat this 3 times.

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

Thanks for the recommendation.

Ran sfc/scannow, results were clear, not integrity violations.

Check for updates displays updates available, but won't download or install but get a error code as posted earlier.

Just a idea can't these 2/3 updates like the earlier 2, be installed manually before activating Windows?

Best regards.

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

At last after several trials managed to install remaining updates.......but have a question.


Why did I need these 2 updates after the 1st run, never required earlier?

Still have more than 30 failed updates , canceled etc..

Its strange, one day I don't even need to uncheck our fav update and all get downloaded and installed in one go with only 1 failed, at other times get 20 plus failed and this time needed to manually install 2/3 updates after 1st run......MS is strange??


Thanks again.

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi again TharshZone,

What do you think about the idea to create the 1st image after W7 install, 2 updates, activated, after installing Recommended ones and in Important IE 11, all 12 .NET 4.x.x. so if face errors don't have to redo each time?

Your expert thoughts on this?

Best regards!

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Yes you can create images at any point and yes it's a lot faster to restore a system image than starting over.

That is sort of a problem starting from the top of the list and only installing 20 or so at a time
The top updates could supersede lower updates
Which is the case with kb3061518 it replaces kb3050514

kb3060716
