SP1 Fails to install with the following CBS errors

Hi,

Tried pretty much everything apart from a format, which is looking like a good option.

The readiness tool produces the following error and no fix ont he net has resolved this issue so far.

Renaming Software Distribution folder - Nope
Microsoft Fix it - Nope
Re registering windows dll files - Nope

Nothing works same old thing and this is a the ISO off the website / WSUS update or a exe file.

Windows 7 32bit Prof

Hello!

DO NOT try any solutions which you find on the Internet. They will not work. You need a solution custom made for your computer, and your computer only. Running a fix for someone else may break your computer beyond repair. I shall make you one of these fixes.

Please post your entire C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log.

Thanks!

Hi
A lot fo them do work...I currently have 10 machines which fail SP1. All of them seem to have missing or corrupt update files from previous updates. By replacing these files I have managed to get SP1 on a few of the machines some I have yet to try but the one listed above resisits any fix I have come across.

If it comes to it ill re image the machine but I shall post the log as soon as I get chance...

Thanks

THe fix above doesnt cure this issue relating to KB971165

Hello!

I shall create you a fix as soon as possible. I need to go offline now, and we are really busy, but it shouldn't be too long.

BTW, you have tried to fix it yourself, I think? There is a little trick for .cat/.mum files in this format:

Package_for_KB977165

I shall teach you how in a few hours!

Look forward to it!

Richard

Thanks yeah I have fixed a few myself with these stupid missing corrupt files etc :) 2 machines are proving a little bit more of a challenge ...

Thanks mate

Sorry, only have a few minutes now (coffee break). Lunch break or home time would be better. It sounds as though you are doing very well. I can help with the other one afterwards, but please don't post those logs yet, so that I don't get confused!

Thanks!

Richard

No worries just shout when you need them...but i think i just found a solution....
I copied my files to a poorly laptop and SP1 is now installing.

So by copying my files to that laptop it works .. !! This is test laptop which is suffering but will try it on another to see if the copy from a good laptop to a bad one works properly...

This trick seems to work for other machines I have tried it on...

So if you have a PC with SP1 on it and one where it has failed...copy the files it moans about in the CBS log fromt he good one to the bad one and hey presto it works !

:)
