Windows update - KB3046482 always failing on Win 8 machine

Since this is a Windows 8 problem, you should repost in the more appropriate eightforums.com forums for assistance - metods of repair for win8 are different to those for win7.

Ah - so it is

Here's the CheckSUR summary.

I'll post a fix protocol later for those.
I didn't find any recent signs of an SFC scan - but that can wait, as it may change after we fix these errors anyhow.

I've uploaded a file - cc2aa.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 cc2aa 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.

Great - CheckSUR is happy now...

Do a Check for Updates, and attempt to install ONLY the oldest update found - of it goes in OK, try the rest.
If it doesn't go OK, post the KB number and error message

There's nothing we've done which should affect C++.
Perhaps you have malware, or a failing disk.

Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....
Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
At the Command prompt, type
CHKDSK C: /R
and hit the Enter key.
You will be told that the drive is locked, and the CHKDSK will run at the next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot.
The CHKDSK will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!
After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) - then post the Application.evtx log...


Open Event Viewer
click on the Windows logs entry in the left pane to expand it.
Now click on the Application entry - wait while it loads.
Click on 'File' in the menu bar and select Save...
Save the file as Appevt.evtx
Compress it and upload the compressed file to your reply.
