Persistant Installation Error Code 80073712 for KB2972211 (Windows 7)

OK - it does loo as if the CheckSUR errors are the only ones we really have to worry about...

I'll post a fix protocol a little later.

I've uploaded a file - b77aa.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
Please download and save it.
Right-click on the downloaded file, and select Extract all…
Extract to the default location - which will create a new folder b77aa in the same place.
Open this folder - there should be two folders inside it (Manifests, and Packages)

Copy the content of the Packages folder to the folder
C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Servicing\Packages

And the content of the manifests folder (.manifest files) into this folder:

C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Winsxs\Manifests

Now run the CheckSUR tool again (it may take a while)

Post the new CheckSUR.log file, and the CheckSUR.persist.log file.

CheckSUR is happy now.

Try a new Check For Updates, and see how things work now.

Glad it worked for you - and thanks for the kind words.

Good luck.
