Solved Which updates to avoid?

[Snick]

Don't need to force anything, work TOGETHER please.
Reason Win Update dysfunctional, fix, not force.

 

[RolandJS]

"What is the full path of the updates?"
I can copy them into c:\wusa -- makes a short path

"...Don't need to force anything, work TOGETHER please..."
Gotcha! How about kinder, gentler, GHWB compaign-- I mean dism wusa operations!

I corrected Pres. GB's middle initials.

Full path where please:
SoftwareDistribution Folder
WinSxS Folder
RAM Cache
Installed
Pending
??????
Downloads to RAM, Decompression of KB,to software-distribution, to WinSxS, cat.mum pairs and manifests are installed with hard links in tack, permissions in tack, security protocols in tack. One botched process, ie a bit flip, 1 to 0 or vice versa. Corrupt File. WU Broken. Missing File, WU Broken.

FIX ITs don't work because they don't have the replacement file or files, the exact replacement(s).
WUSA uninstall works sometime, if the M$ KB uninstaller installed correctly. Did it? Almost a guaranteed NO. That's what the CBS, CheckSUR, WindowsUpdate, etc., logs are for.

Tack is in Tack

Windows Update is INCREDIBLY COMPLICATED, INCREDIBLY!


English without acronyms would help, please.

DISM
DISM++
SFCFix.exe by Niemiro with DISM support *******************

"kinder, gentler, GHWB compaign-" from wikipedia: "The 1988 United States presidential election was the 51st quadrennial United States presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 8, 1988. Incumbent Vice President George H. W. Bush, the Republican nominee, defeated Democratic Governor Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts."
GHWB (my earlier post reversed his middle initials) said he was going to run a kinder, gentler, compaign, and he did -- not, it was rough and tough on both sides.

On Windows 7 and earlier, the DISM command isn't available. Instead, you can download and run the System Update Readiness Tool from Microsoft and use it to scan your system for problems and attempt to fix them.Mar 30, 2018
or my AutoSURT64 and it posts the CBS folder on your desktop.

Sorry, I thought you had downloaded DISM and therefore had it on your OS! I did that with one Win 7 OS and then wrote a script to install all the WU's from a folder [I downloaded only the WU's I wanted to install into a folder].

If you want to select specific WU's to install then the easiest way is to use DISM++ => Dism++10.1.1000.100.zip.

Run the program => click UPDATES in the left-hand pane => click Scan => check the UPDATES you want to install => click INSTALL.

I hope this helps!

Paul, should DISM++ be copied into Windows System32 or can it be in its own directory in Program Files [64 or 32]?

Hi RolandJS,

Use the default install location, that is what I did if I remember correctly!

Error install, going to www dot chuyu dot me to get full dism++

Hi RolandJS,

Error install, going to www dot chuyu dot me to get full dism++.

I thought you had already done that!

 

[RolandJS]

Naw, earlier, copied from snick utility mine -- getting it directly and installing as we type.
Earlier I altered chuyu files, my bad, downloaded zip, altered nothing, it is working fine, scanning...

dism++ board installed the most recent WUs into S03. Now, dism++ is tackling the 45 WUs found, installing into S02, the troublesome laptop. Will update this thread when it's finished. If it fails, which I think it will not fail, will you email me one of those sword thingies the Samurai used centuries ago?

DISM++ is excellent for installing troublesome WUs if the normal WU method or wusa fail!

echo on
DISM++x64.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath[colon]D[colon]\wusa\kb4474419.msu
pause
exit

This batchfile returns an incorrect parameter block. How do I correct this?
I have the whole DISM++ package in the D:\WUSA directory.
Earlier, renaming dism++64.exe to dism.exe -- returns an error saying I cannot rename that EXE. so dism++x64.exe it is

In the long run, I would rather run all dism++ from C:\Program Files\Dism++ directory.
I will copy any/all problematic MSUs into that directory and go from there.
I hope I can learn how to re-write that dism-wu.bat to reflect this.

 

[RolandJS]

I ask about commandline because something in S02 laptop meddled with chuyu's window update and scrambled windows 7 pro's WU section, I simply restored c partition and kept going. Even PortableUpdate has problems.
