Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for x64 based system error code 80073701

Hi,

I've been having trouble installing windows 7 service Pack 1.

I have taken the following steps to try and solve the issue but nothing has change:

1. Used update readiness tool for windows 7 for x64 based systems
2. Install Malwarebytes to get rid of any potential malware
3.Ran SFC/Scan

Thank you

The first thing you need to do is follow the instruction of this tutorial and post the needed logs so are experts have the needed information.

The SFC data isn't present in the CBS.log - assuming you ran it, it must be in the CBSPersist files. Please upload the latest two files from the store, and I'll take a look.
The CheckSUR log is clear, however the CheckSUR.Persist log shows that you ran another version back in July 2012 and had massive problems at that time...

It's likely that this is the cause of your current problems, as these errors look to me to be the result of major registry corruption, and this could be affecting other areas at which CheckSUR doesn't look.

I suspect that your best option is going to be a repair install - but let's have a look at those CBSPersist files first.

That probably means that the file is too large - either delete the older CBSPersist logs until it's below 8MB, or upload it to a fileshare site (preferably DropBox or OneDrive) and post a link.

Sorry.. must have missed it.
In the pub at the moment. ... will review asap.

You seem to have uploaded the two CBSPersist files - and not the CBS.log or CheckSUR.log files
Both the uploaded files also appear to have been somehow corrupted. This immediately bring the question of whether the system in infected with malware.


Please download and install Malwarebytes Anti-malware (free version) from http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ - UNtick 'Enable free trial of MBAM Premium' at the end of the installation - and update it, then run a full scan in your main account, and Quick scans in any other user accounts.
