[SOLVED] 7x64 failed updates

[codypeak]

Greetings. Just to be sure

Please check Windows Update only and report the result.

You want me to check for Updates only, or attempt to also install the available Updates?

 

[PeterJ]

Check for Windows Update and report which updates are available.

 

[codypeak]

Thanks.

 

[PeterJ]

Install the 5 items "Security Update for Windows 7..." only and report the result.

 

[codypeak]

WU reported those 5 updates successfully installed. I wanted to note that there was no reboot requested. Also that on the Shutdown button, there were and still are pending updates. When I previously had seen that and shut down the computer (before starting this topic), is when it went into the recovery process for bad updates; reverting, and rebooting a couple times.

Back to you.

 

[PeterJ]

Reboot and check for updates again. Please report the result.

 

[codypeak]

Here we go

 

[PeterJ]

Some update were installed and some new ones show up. Please install only the 2 "Security Update for Windows 7..." and reboot.
Check Windows Update again and report the result.

 

[codypeak]

The same two which said they were successfully installed, are back again after a reboot and new check for new updates

 

[PeterJ]

Install the update "Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1...", reboot and report the result again.

 

[codypeak]

That one seemed to install ok, here's the latest.

 

[PeterJ]

Good. Now install the "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9...", reboot and report the result again.

 

[codypeak]

That one failed, code 80073712

 

[PeterJ]

Run sfc /scannow again and attach the zipped cbs.log to your next reply.

 

[codypeak]

sfc /scannow was completed very quickly, cbs.log attached

 

[PeterJ]

Please attach the file C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CbsPersist_20190109232758.cab to your next post.

Provide a new copy of your COMPONENTS hive.

Retrieve Components Hive
1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
2. Please copy this file to your desktop.
Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again. Note: If you find that you need to reboot and are unable to because this is a server then try Option#2 below.
3. Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To...Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
4. The file will likely be too large to upload here so please upload to SendSpace and just provide the link here.

---

Option#2 (only if you are unable to follow the previous instructions)

• Please download the Freeware RegBak from here: Acelogix Software - Download products
  You will find it at the bottom of the page that the link brings you to.
• Go ahead and install this program and accept all the defaults. After the last install screen the program should open.
• Click the New Backup button. Accept the defaults and simply click Start.
• When it says Finished successfully, click the Close button.
• This will bring you back to the main screen of the program. You will see one entry in this list with the date that you did it. Right-click on this line-item and select Explore Backup...
• This will bring you into the folder where the backup was made. You should see a Users folder and a Windows folder along with a couple other files. Double-click on the Windows folder to open it. Then open the System32 folder and then config folder. You should see around 6 files in here, one of which is named COMPONENTS.
• Copy the COMPONENTS file to your Desktop. If the COMPONENTS file does not exist, please fetch it instead from C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS.
• Now right-click on the COMPONENTS file that is on your desktop and select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
• Then please upload the zip file (COMPONENTS.zip) to your favourite file sharing website (it will be too big to upload here). Examples of services to upload to are Filedropper or One Drive or SendSpace and then just provide the link in your reply.
• You can close any open windows you have as well as the RegBak program now.
