Problems updating to Sp1. Help needed?
I've been trying to update win7 to Sp1. I tried through the windows update and at first it was failing to download so I ran the update verification tool and after that windows update was able to download but when installing it fails at the outset of installation with a message saying that it cant continue due to missing system files.
I next ran a chkdsk: /f /r ( took a long time )
computer rebooted and windows update was showing that i needed to reinstall all previous updates. I did that and tried the update again with the same message and results.
I then ran a svc/scannow and the scan returned a message saying that windows detected corrupt system files but was unable to fix them and that the log of the file is stored in CBS/CBS.logs.txt
For some reason I cant get privledges to open the file to see what the corrupt files are.
Any help would be great. I dont know what else to try to get this updated short of doing a repair install, which I've never done and a little hesitant of doing since I dont really want to lose andy data, programs.
Apart from this updating failing, my system hasn't had a single instability problem. Everything runs as it should..no unexpected crashes, etc...
Again, thanks for any assistance.
