Live Mail update - event log error message

[DarkStar GT]

Today, I saw a pop-up notification from Windows Live Mail that there was a Live Essentials update.

(a) the icon in the task bar got whacked so I had to re-pin it (from the Start menu)

(b) I saw the error (2359302) below in the Event Logs; looking back I had the same error when initially installing Live Mail. I have not noticed any problems but wonder what it is. Could it be that I have not installed that update?

I have automatic Windows Updates turned off, but have done some individually.

Try downloading the update manually, that is what I did without any problems:

Windows Essentials - Download Windows Live Essentials

It will update and fix any problems with the previous programs.

The event entry points to KB2120976: Streaming issues that are related to Microsoft Media Foundation in Windows 7

The error code, 2359302, points to a MS installer issue

I don't think either is directly related to Windows Essentials (Live).

I suggest the following:

1. Please follow the instructions in OPTION TWO of http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html
   Attach the entire CBS.log to a post (you might have to put it in a compressed folder / .zip)
   
   
2. Configure WU as shown below:

3. Then I would manually run Windows Update (WU) and install all critical, important, and recommended offers.
   :note: I hide optional updates offered for Bing and Silverlight - right click on the update in WU and select hide
