Problem installing Windows Updates

Did you follow the instructions on the dialog box and click "Try again"?

Please provide additional information
See: Windows Update Posting Instructions

I believe I did everything in the post but its not letting me attach the cbs.zip file i get a error when i upload it is there another way perhapes?

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)

Please also post your C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log file

CheckSUR shows the following problems...

SFC apparently fixed the 3 problems it found...

The SFC problems are often associated with installing non-compliant Windows Theme Packs.


The root problem appears to be something to do with the Event Log system.
I'll have to do some research and see what I can find.

Please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following command...


ICACLS C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\RTBackup


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.

Ah - that explains a few things!

SYSTEM should have full permission, recursed. back later with a registry fix.
