Solved Windows 7 x64 - kb4503292 - Error Code 80073701

[Lefteris]

Download this DISM.log.
It was created after I tried to install kb4503292 through cmd with:


cd /d c:\windows\temp
expand windows6.1-kb4503292-x64.msu -f:* C:\windows\temp
DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\windows\temp\windows6.1-kb4503292-x64.cab


In the cmd prompt window I get:

Processing 1 of 1 - Adding package Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~7601.24468.1.6
[==== 7.0% ]
An error occurred - Package_for_RollupFix Error: 0x80073701

Error: 14081

The referenced assembly could not be found.

I tried SFC command and SFCfix tool and they are clean with no errors. Also SURT tool gives clean CBS.

Anyone could help please? Thanks!

Windows 7 KB4503269 and KB4503292 trigger slow startup issues

Hello,

Same here, same error code and can't install the update. could it come from the antivirus? I use Malewarebyte.

Thanks in advance.

I didn't have the monthly may rollup update kb4499164 and I installed it and then kb4503292 worked. But I found this through the CBS.log which I searched for an entry called STATUS_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING and 4 lines above it, 4499164 was mentioned.
So get kb4499164 from Microsoft Update Catalog
and run it to install. If it says its not applicable do this:
Rename it to windows6.1-kb4499164.msu and copy and paste it in C:\Windows\Temp

Open command prompt and paste these lines one at a time pressing enter:


cd /d c:\windows\temp
expand windows6.1-kb4499164.msu -f:* C:\windows\temp
DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\windows\temp\Windows6.1-KB4499164-x64.cab



After its installed you can install kb4503292.
Let me know how it goes.

Thanks a lot, will try that.

Could not install the kb4499164, CBS says "Failed to internally open package. [HRESULT = 0x800f0805 - CBS_E_INVALID_PACKAGE]"

When I tried with the command line you gave I had error message "Package_for_RollupFix Erreur: 0x8007000d"

You could start by renaming the CVS.log file, ie: CVS.log.old, then try the update again and see if you find the error: STATUS_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING in the CVS.log

If so, then you can see the four lines before that error and see which other update is missing the file. Then uninstall that update or install it if you don't have it, download it from the update catalog.

Finally you can try to install the kb4503292 again. If this doesn't work, try the command sfc /scannow if this doesnt help try sfcfix from:
SFCFix Official Download - Repair Windows Update | Sysnative Forums
or ask for help from

Thanks Lefteris, it did the trick!
One package was missing according to CBS log, downloaded & installed it manually and then the kb4503292 could finally be installed.

I had tried the sfc /scannow and sfcfix before but they had not detected anything.

Thanks so much for your help!

 

[Lefteris]

Awesome! You're very welcome!

I confirm this has worked for me, I needed to download and manually install KB4480970 first.
I identified it using:

see the four lines before that error

Nice finish to a month's worth of struggle! Thanks!
