Howdy

I bet you get this alot, sorry but i have a minor update problem. Ive just done a fresh install on my system. All going fairly well, istalled a couple of hundered updates except it wont install two updates no matter how many times I try.

These are KB2937610 & KB3074543

I ran CClean to get rid of temperatary files but that made no difference.

Thought you might know an easy way.

Thanks

Hi,
See you have not used the newer method of clean installing like I suggested on your other thread
http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/400044-strange-install-problem.html#post3277430

There are essentially 3 updates needed for a clean install of windows that will get you updated through April of 2016

KB3020369 & KB3172605 & KB3125574 all can be downloaded from the M$ catalog using internet explorer
Microsoft Update Catalog

When manually installing updates you need to switch your update settings to Never check for updates and restart the machine first.

Also after restart verify the windows update service is stopped and set it to Manual first or it will conflict with the stand alone installer.

Howdy.

Since i had the first 2 updates and all the rest started downloading I didnt think id need the third. Can you please provide me a link to KB3125574 as I cant seem to find it.

Thanks

Hi,
I can't link to that update it comes only from the catalog
But I do have 32 and 64 bit versions on my OneDrive in separate zip folders if you want it from there ?

Hi,
If you've never dealt with Onedrive all you have to do is check the box for the one you want I have the 32 bit one pointed to here because someone else needed it and click the download button

After it completes right click the zip folder and select Extract all
Run the update.
Make sure the windows update service is not running before you attempt to install it.

Here's a list of the first round you'll probably see after
