Error 80073712: Havent been able to install most updates for almost 2 years

Greetings.

I am uncertain what you mean by problematic so I would like to clarify that.

If you mean you are aware they failed to install correctly please stop and provide the latest CBS log.
If you mean they are problematic for no other reason than they are still listed then will will try to install them. If this is the case, individually install them in the following order. If at any time you get an error stop and provide the CBS log.

KB4486563
KB4487078


If both install correctly please let me know what Optional Updates are now listed.

Hi,

By problematic, I just meant that they were the same ones that kept failing. Sorry for the confusion.

I tried installing the first one. It failed. CBS attached

Greetings.

Thank you for the clarification.

We need to gather some information. Please provide updated Components and Software Hives (files) once again. In addition, we need to do this.

===================================================

Process Monitor Trace

--------------------
  • Download and run Process Monitor. Leave this running while you perform the next steps.
  • Attempt to install the update just like you have in the past
  • Stop Process Monitor as soon as the update fails. You can simply do this by clicking the magnifying glass on the toolbar
  • Select the File menu...Save... and save the file to your desktop. This is likely the default location. The name (unless changed) will be LogFile.PML. This is fine.
  • Zip up and attach the LogFile.PML file as well as your CBS.log

Alright. I think I did it correctly. Here are the links for everything except for software files. I'll send this via PM:

Thank you for the information my friend, including the Software Hive. I am sure as you can imagine I will need some time to sort through everything.
 
Greetings.

Just wanted to touch base and let you know I have been working through the latest information but there is a lot of ground to cover. This latest information is more complex than before so it is slowing things down.
 
Hi,

No problem at all. As long as we're fixing stuff along the way, then I'm fine for however long it takes :)

Thanks for letting me know!
 
Thanks, just wanted to let you know that within my silence work is being done behind the scenes.
 
Greetings my friend.

We can anticipate going through several steps to attempt to repair the corruptions that surfaced in our last reports. These need to be dealt with before we try to apply any updates currently listed on your computer. Hopefully now that we have identified things and developed a strategy to deal with them postings will come a little quicker.

Please do this.

Hello again,

Thanks for the status update. I appreciate it.

Alright, so I did the instructions you gave me, and it went well overall. The update was uninstalled, and the new one was installed.
That being said, 2 notes:
  • It did not ask me to restart PC
  • I didnt extract anything. The file you supplied was already in .cab format. So I just moved it to C:/, and ran the command you gave me. That ran well and it was installed.
 
Thank you, please do this.
