    That the CheckSUR/SURT tool that you downloaded to run the Update Posting Instructions for post#4

    (just a naming thing - 90% of people call it CheckSUR, but officially the name is the SURT)

    The Macrovision entries should be left alone - it may be that your interfering with them messes some else up down the way.

    I've uploaded a file - cndab.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
    Please download and save it.

    Right-click on the saved file and select Extract all...
    Change the target to C:\ and click on Extract
    Close all windows (it would be a good idea to print these instructions!)

    Now reboot to the Repair Environment - as soon as the machine restarts, start tapping F8 - this should bring up the Advanced Boot Menu, at the top of which should be the option 'Repair my Computer'
    Pick that
    You'll have to log in with your username and password.

    Pick the option to use a Command Prompt
    At the prompt type
    DIR C:\cndab
    hit the enter key - if you get a 'Not Found' error try
    DIR D:\cndab
    or
    DIR E:\cndab



    The drive letter in use when you find the folder will need to be substituted (for<drive>) into the following command...



    XCOPY <drive>:\cndab <drive>:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h



    (e.g. XCOPY P:\wfire P:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h )



    run the command (it should take almost no time) and when the prompt returns, type
    EXIT
    and hit the Enter key to exit Command Prompt - reboot to Normal Mode Windows.

    Now run SFC /SCANNOW in an Elevated Command Prompt
    then reboot and upload the new CBS.log file to your reply

    Great!
    with any luck Windows Update should work.

    Do a new Check for Updates, and try installing only the oldest update found - if it fails, what is the KB number, and the error code?

    I am afraid it failed again - but there is some progress: This time it did not just leave me looking at a black, blank screen but rebooted fully and gave me a proper error message, which read, "Installation was not successful(!). The referenced assembly could not be found. Error: ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING(0x80073701)".

    The SP1 has the update number KB976932 contained in the file windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe

    In the error message there was also 'Go online to seek further advice about this problem' which pointed me at Troubleshoot problems installing Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 - Windows Help

    So, I am tempted to try again after disabling the AV etc etc - unless you have other ideas?
    It seems strange that the update cannot find something though...
    Do we still need to add things?

    TIA

    That's an improvement, of sorts, at least!

    The SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING error can be caused by a number of things - I doubt that it's interference from an AV.

    Please post the new CBS.log files, and the C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log file.
