Service Pack 1, SP1, for my Windows 7 Ultimate system will not install
Hi, Windows Sevenforums
I am having a problem installing the Service Pack 1, SP1, for my Windows 7 Ultimate system. I need to install the SP1 so that I can go to the next step and upgrade to Windows 10.
I found this “old” posting: https://www.sevenforums.com/windows-updates-activation/324632-windows-7-service-pack-1-x64-based-systems-kb976932-failed.html that talked about the same problem. I do not believe that post is still open to accept the CBS logs. Do I need to start a new post with my current problem?
Here are the details of my current problem and what I have done. Please excuse the details, but hopefully the details will lead to a solution.
My system is a Dell Vostro 1510 laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate. I verified my copy of Win 7 Ultimate is Genuine and registered. Product ID is:
0042-OEM-899XXXX-XXXXX (x’s represent the other digits if the product ID)
I have installed all of the available Win 7 updates, except the ones shown in the screenshot #1
Screenshot # 1 attached
Another page gave this advice: The problem was the same as mine, but with Windows 7 Home Premium X64.
The SP1 update is item 5. I select only item 5 and click “install”. Install proceeds -- to a point. Sometimes during the install I receive a “failed to install” with error code 80070002, twice install has completed and Windows has asked for a restart to finish the install. When restart is complete, with no error messages, I check status of updates. Status shows SP1 install as “failed” .
On the update status page I clicked on the “Try windows troubleshooter”. Went to Start, Control Panel, Troubleshooting, system and security, select “Fix problems with windows update”. Immediately received error message:
An error occurred while troubleshooting. An unexpected error has occurred. The troubleshooter wizard can’t continue --error code 80131700.
I have researched both error codes and applied the suggested fixes, and still unable to install SP1.
One Microsoft page said I needed the file “ Windows 6.1-KB976932-X64.exe” , which has the same KB number as the Windows update file in line 5 of the screenshot ( Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for x64-systems (KB967032)).
“Since you don't have Service Pack 1 installed then get the Windows 7 Home Premium x64 RTM: X15-65733.iso file and burn that iso file to a DVD. Then perform the repair install of Windows using the DVD that you made.” The problem was the same as mine, but with Windows 7 Home Premium X64.
This sounds promising --- EXCEPT -- it was silent what changes the “repair” would make to the installed OS. EG. Would there be corruption on the current installed WIN 7? What settings,if any, would be changed, would installed programs and files be deleted, etc.
Is there a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RTM: X15-?????.iso file ?
COMMENTS?
Also, trying to individually install each of the first 5 updates in the
screenshot #1 produces the 8070002 error code before the update install finishes.
I would really appreciate any tips, or links on how to Obviously, I am not doing something right, but I am out of things to try.
