Windows Update Failing Continuously

homebrewdr · 20 Feb 2015

Hi. I found the post about Windows Update problems. I'm trying to follow that format here.

Here is all the information I know to provide:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
I ran the SURT.
Ran sfc/scannow
I get: Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
Windows Update Error Code: 800703EE
Compressed CBS log: Attached. This is not the latest CBS log, but it is the only one I was able to upload (under 8 mb). It is from yesterday, the 19th

I've been trying different things for a few days to no avail. Tried the MS update fixer. I've tried running sfc/scannow in safe mode with the same result. Disk cleanup, de-fragmentation, etc.
Anything else you need to help let me know.

Any help would be appreciated, as I am officially frustrated!

I'll post a fix protocol later, for the CheckSUR errors, then we'll work on the SFC problems.

I've uploaded a file - hbdaa.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 hbdaa 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.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I am following your instructions to the T, but I have no CheckSUR file in the location you are specifying. C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur.. I can't get that far, because it doesn't exist on my system. What now?

NoelDP · 22 Feb 2015

Createteh folder and put the files in it - it should still work

Here you go. I created the file. Attached are the CheckSur.log and CheckSur.persist

btw, thanks for helping me out

The log files are the same as the original ones posted - apart from the dates.
This begs the question of what is forcing the system to corrupt the same MUM file each time.
Please check that you placed the files in the correct locations and run CheckSUR again.
Please also open an Elevated Command Prompt and run the following command...

Code:

 
DIR C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Optional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~8.0.7600.16385.mum_old0 
ICACLS C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Optional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~8.0.7600.16385.mum_old0 
 
.

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 had told me to place those files into: C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Servicing\Packages, as well as the other location in winsxs

I created that like you said in that exact location, but are you sure I can't put it in just C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages and C:\Windows\winsxs\Manifests (without the temp part)?

I'll go ahead and run everything again and run the command prompt

After rebooting my pc and double checking the locations, I noticed the files weren't in the folders, but 1 step back. Must of been a stupid mistake on my part. I corrected this, ran it again, and BAM! Success! Thank you!

For good measure, attached are the Checksur files and here was the command prompt:
Next I'll run sfc/scannow to see if anything is different with that.

great - there's still that mysterious file to deal with, but that should be simple enough...

Please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands:

Code:

 
TAKEOWN /F C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Optional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~8.0.7600.16385.mum_old0 /A
ICACLS C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Optional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~8.0.7600.16385.mum_old0 /grant Administrators:(F)
DEL C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Optional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~8.0.7600.16385.mum_old0 
 
.

then reboot and run CheckSUR and SFC /SCANNOW again - post the new full CBS folder.
