    Windows Update keeps failing to update


    Windows Update tries to install the same updates repeatedly and always fails. I've tried to run Microsoft Fix it but it didn't help.

    Please follow the Windows Update Posting Instructions and post the requested data
    If the file is too large (8MB compressed), remove the older CBSPersist cab files until the final file is below the limit - you can always post them separately after zipping them. (the forum doesn't allow the upload of bare CAB files, for a number of reasons)

    The SFC scan shows no problems. There are no significant errors in the CBS.log
    There is no CheckSUR log in your upload??

    I've downloaded Windows6.1-KB947821-v33-x86.msu and when I try to execute it it gives the following error:

    Hmm - Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands...

    ICACLS C:\Windows\Temp
    ATTRIB C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSUR
    ICACLS C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSUR

    Post the results


    Here are some instructions to make life easier :)
    1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the ECP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt.
    2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Window, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once.
    3) To copy the results... click on the Black/White icon in the top left, and select Edit... 'Select All', and hit the Enter key - then use Ctrl+V or r-click+Paste to paste it into your response.

    You have some odd permissions there.
    For some reason it's inheriting ReadOnly permissions and passing them down - and it's this that may be causing your problem.
    Let's check the Windows folder and System32 folder as well, before attempting to fix things...

    In an Elevated Command Prompt, run the following commands, and post the results.

    ICACLS C:\Windows
    ICACLS C:\Windows\System32

    I forgot to tell you that I'm using Remote Desktop Connection on another Windows 7 machine to connect to the machine I've trouble with. However, it gives the same error when I try to run the same .msu file locally.
