Hi,

I'm in the last stages of reinvigorating a friends PC, and have had some problems with Windows Update.

As it stands, this system is using Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x64.

The error I get is shown in the attached image.

I have run the Windows Update Troubleshooter which reports that the error has been fixed (see image), but if I immediately go and re-run Windows Update, the same message appears.

I have checked for C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log but it doesn't appear to exist.

Capture2.PNG

I am trying to run the Windows Update from a standard user account.

Can anyone suggest a possible fix?

Thanks,
Golden

Hi,

Thanks for both suggestions Clinkz and TCG.

I haven't tried WU from the administrator account yet, as I wanted to be sure it would still run under standard user account - I'll try WU under admin account now. If that doesn't work, I'll try the FIXIT link.

Regards,
Golden

Hello!

No problem, Golden!

You say that you are trying to run Windows Update from a Standard Account. Does it work in an Admin Account. You see, have a look at how the error maps (winerror.h):

Depending on whether Windows Update works in the Admin account, and whether you want it to work on the Standard Account directs my next response.

Thanks!

Guys,

I am officially a muppet! I was logged in and attempting WU using the admin account and not a standard account :o

The WU problem persists in the admin account.

TCG : I just noticed that the FIXIT link you provided is for Vista SP2. Does it still work under 7?

Regards,
Golden

Hello again, Golden!

First, two simple solutions. Credit to @TCG and @Clinkz.

Run this tool in Standard Mode (ie not Aggressive Mode yet). It is perfectly safe on both Vista and 7. Ignore the "incompatible" message on 7. How do I reset Windows Update components?

This takes only half a second, and has fixed a few issues before now: Repair & Fix Windows Updates with Fix WU Utility | The Windows Club

Just for the information of others, CheckSUR.log is the log file created by the System Update Readiness Tool. Unless that tool has been run, you will not have that log. How to troubleshoot Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 service pack installation issues

Please do run it now. It may help a lot, as it can detect some permissions problems.

Also, the CBS.log is very useful. Please run the System Update Readiness Tool (just install the update, and wait while it does all of its work at 60%) and then create a new folder on your Desktop. Copy into that folder C:\Windows\Logs\CBS.log and C:\Windows\Logs\CheckSUR.persist.log. Right click on that folder > Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder, and upload that file here.

Thanks!

Richard

@Golden: According to the technet article I saw, that link will work for 7 although it does not actually state it.

Any progress on this Golden? Curios to hear what happened.

Hi,

OK. I ran FIXIT in non-aggressive mode, but that same problems still persists. I also tried the WU Tool that Clinz suggested, but the same error persists.

Attached are the CBS logs.

Golden

Hi,

OK...just tried FIXIT in agressive mode. No dice - problem still persists.

Note : previously posted CBS logs are prior to attempting any FIXIT's.

This appears to have started after the fixit was ran, and the messages regarding the pending deletes stopped (the Fixit is supposed to clear that, although I'm wondering if it just deletes the pendingrenames.xml in the registry, and doesn't fix the actual problem that old files exist and need to be renamed........).

It would appear, at least, that the files expected for 976932 are not found - and given this is the KB for SP1, I'd have to say your installation of SP1 probably wasn't as clean as the UI may have led you to believe. In the logs I did find a few indications that one of the prerequisite packages didn't properly install either, although that may be a red herring. Given the pendingdeletes were all system-level files, and SP1 isn't showing up as installed properly, I think the WU error message might be the error code that bubbles up, but I don't think it's the real error. I think the fact that the xml for the SP1 package cannot be found (meaning making any meaningful WU check based on it as a parent package isn't going to work too well), you probably want to restore your system back to pre-SP1 and make sure things are actually OK there before attempting to upgrade to SP1. My guess is, you probably had issues going back at least that far that were not generating errors significant enough to be seen. If not, then perhaps you just had a botched SP1 install. To that end, I've been telling people to uninstall any 3rd party antivirus and 3rd party firewall or security software as well, including MS Security Essentials, due to some of the odd things I've seen it cause SP1 to fail installing on that don't happen on the same system without said software installed. My suggestion is to restore to pre-SP1, make sure things are OK, and then remove the computer from any networks, uninstall any security software (make sure you have the installation packages available offline to reinstall after SP1 completes), reboot, and then install SP1 and let it reboot when finished (restore points are your friends here!). Once SP1 is on, reinstall any security software, attach to network/internet and download updates for said software and Windows, and see what happens.

Thnaks for your detailed analysis Cluberti.

I've had a look through the available system restore points, and unfortunately there isn't one pre-SP1 installation - only the last 10 are listed and SP1 isn't on the list. Only 4% (10GB) of the drive was reserved for system restore points.

I think the only option I have left is to do a factory reset - this is an OEM Windows 7. Would you agree?

Regards,
Golden

At this point, your current install is probably broken to a point only a sfc /scannow has the possibility of fixing (and with no guarantee it will). I would try the SFC /scannow (make sure you have Windows 7 SP1 media available!) before restoring, but... yes, that is sort of the last option, and you're right up against it.

Cheers mate. I tried several sfc /scannow's but of course it reported nothing required fixing.

Factory reset it is.......

Thanks to everyone for your help,

Just some feedback :

I did a system restore, all 98 windows updates, and finally the SP1. Everything is now OK - no errors.

Have also just done a system image using Macrium Reflect, after decrappifying the PC of all the bloatware, to make it easier in the future, should it be required.

Thanks again to everyone for their help,
Golden
