CBS Registry Errors

Awesome Niemiro!!!

A Repair Install doesn't just fail randomly. So it still won't install. However, if we fix it up to nearly perfect, and then do a Repair Install, we might just be able to fix this.

Also, before we start, I want to see which packages are corrupt. If they all originate from a few updates (1 update can contain many packages) we might be able to do an uninstall of that update, and then reinstall it (there are FAR more powerful ways of uninstalling an update than through Add/Remove programs :P)

I'm right on board with all of this! Here are (should be anyway) all of the Logs you've requested. For security purposes, COMPUTER, DOMAIN and USERNAME(S) have been blocked out where they exist.

dziękuję,
Drew

No problem, Drew! This is a fascinating challenge!

However, I want to delay things *again*, and first fix another small corruption (very much like the one you found)

From your CBS.log (x many)

Could you have a look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\PackageDetect

and basically go hunting for: Package_2_for�KB2345316~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.6

and if you find it, change it to an underscore.

I think that this corruption will be located there...hopefully you will be able to find it!

Richard

Good catch my Friend! Can't believe I missed that one, as it was right in front of my FACE! LOL Sometime we look too deep...

At first I searched the entire leg of the Registry that you mentioned, but everything looked fine. I then searched the entire HKLM for the string "KB2345316~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.6" and found / fixed it under the following;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\PackageDetect\Microsoft-Hyper-V-Common-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~0.0.0.0]

Seems to be fine everywhere else in the reg (about ~55 hits total). I also ensured the COMPONENT leg of the Registry was loaded by running Windows Update and scanning for Updates - just to be sure nothing was screwed up in there as well.

Repaired, rebooted, ran SURT (it fixed 1 Error this time around), re-ran SURT again and here's the Post of the CheckSUR.logs after that. (NOTE: I had to take Ownership and give Administrators full rights, but reversed this back to SYSTEM as Owner and Read-only for Admins after the fact.)

Server Manager is now FINALLY working properly for Role and Features!!! So we made progress!!! Still only one "Important" update in Windows Update (2008 R2 Service Pack 1), and two "Optional" Driver Updates that I care nothing about at this point...

THANKS BRUTHA!!!
Drew

P.S. For giggles, I re-ran RegistryBooster 2011 and it found 9 System Related Reg Errors. Out of these, 8 are "System Software Settings" and 1 is "ActiveX, OLE, COM sections". I'm holding off telling it to repair these unless you agree. My thinking is why not let it fix 'em, but I don't want to let it repair these if you're not on board with it Niemiro. Please let me know...

Drew

Very well done! I really didn't know where that corruption was going to be, so couldn't be of much help, so well done :)

Well, I bring important news. One of the reasons why I sent you away to fix that was because I wanted more time to think over this case. And I believe that I have now worked out exactly what is causing this issue, and so many corrupt registry keys/values.

Also, before we start, I want to see which packages are corrupt. If they all originate from a few updates (1 update can contain many packages) we might be able to do an uninstall of that update, and then reinstall it (there are FAR more powerful ways of uninstalling an update than through Add/Remove programs :P)

I was looking through, trying to make sense of so many different errors (go through the CBS.persist.logs, and you will see so many more, and varied errors) Could I find a pattern...yes!

All of the packages do not come from a few discrete updates, actually, they all come from core Windows. The only thing I can think of for this, is a badly failed SP1 update. Basically, those components were in the process of being updated to SP1, and then SP1 fails/crashes/something, and they all become corrupt. That is why you have so many corrupt registry keys/values, and that is why it is those particular registry keys/values.

This leads to a lot of questions (and one of those questions will, I am sure, be "What is the fix!")

Do I want to fix all of these (which means removing package from package watchlist). Do I want to fix just the missing Deployment Keys? If I remove all of these Core (but not necessarily critical) components, are there SP1 components to stand in their place. Would I cause more harm by removing them.

Taking as a fact (unless you have a better theory) that SP1 is half installed, and half not installed (rather than not installed after multiple failures) do I want to get to a state of SP1 installed, or a state of SP1 not installed.

Difficult questions! For better or worse, I have made up my mind. I wish to try to uninstall SP1, (which avoids much of the possibly dangerous removing or not removing of package watchlist components) and then with SP1 uninstalled, I plan to do a Repair Install. After that, we shall re-run SURT, I shall go through the logs, and then if all looks well, try SP1 again.

But why did SP1 fail? If these errors are caused by a failure of SP1, what caused SP1 to fail. IMPORTANT QUESTION: Did you PSU fail while installing SP1, and therefore cause these corruptions, or did it fail earlier, causing a corruption which failed SP1? I went through the other logs...

and each of these had many repetitions:

^^ Finally, this is the one which I think needs the most investigation.

I really don't know if this is going to work, but I think that this really is our best bet. I wish to see if I can properly role back this SP1 install.

lol. Back to Flavius again! After all, you only have a selection of me, Flavius, and MowGreen (and soon to be Marsmimar)!

He honestly does know his stuff...

Windows Update - Uninstall from Console Level

Basically, open an Elevated Command Prompt: Elevated Command Prompt

and type in: wusa /uninstall /kb:976932

This method is the best, if you can. It won't take long to tell you that it isn't happy if it isn't happy! (OK, that sentence was pretty lame )

Otherwise, it is big download time I am afraid (sorry) Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (KB976932)

I am only continuing to tell you this, because I have a time saving trick for later!

wusa /uninstall C:\Temp\windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe

Lastly, try PKGMGR. Hopefully, we won't get here.

Firstly, use my tool to extract the Service Pack: Windows Update - Extract an Update (I find it SO much more convenient that using the Command Prompt - and I have to extract very many updates each day in order to help everyone) (it isn't actually too helpful for this, but will be good practice, because I have many time saving tools, and you might just need to become acquainted with some of them! Go up a directory from the automatically opened Extracted directory to find the .cab file.)

start /w pkgmgr /m:C:\Temp\windows6.1-KB976932-X64.cab /up /s:C:\Sandbox

The very best of luck,

Richard

Just forgot one little thing...

If your Windows Update is set to Automatically install, then could you please hide SP1, and if it isn't, can you please NOT attempt SP1 until I can assess the situation. Thanks a lot!

P.S. For giggles, I re-ran RegistryBooster 2011 and it found 9 System Related Reg Errors. Out of these, 8 are "System Software Settings" and 1 is "ActiveX, OLE, COM sections". I'm holding off telling it to repair these unless you agree. My thinking is why not let it fix 'em, but I don't want to let it repair these if you're not on board with it Niemiro. Please let me know...

I personally don't really bother with Registry Cleaners, but I can't see it doing too much more harm at this point, since I have now found answers to some of what is going on here.

Richard

Oh Poo... lol I think you asked for these Logs... Here they are...

LOL

Thanks,
Drew

No problem. WU was set to "Check for updates, but let me choose whether to download and install them..."

I definitely won't attempt any install of SP1 till we're through all of this and truely ready for it.

Thanks,
Drew
