[SOLVED] KB3045171 Fails to Install

OK, go ahead and check for updates. It will likely take much longer this time. Let me know which updates show up that need to be installed.
 
Hello, okay. The updates that show up are the x171 one and a Security Essentials definitions update. Should I try to install them?
 
OK, let's just remove the update from your registry and then try to install it. It's like it's half installed. In order to do so completely I need one more piece of your registry.

Step#1 - Export CBS Registry Key

  1. Click on the Start
    Start%20Orb.jpg
    button and in the search box, type regedit
  2. When you see regedit on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
  3. When regedit opens, using the left pane, navigate to the following registry key and select it by clicking on it once.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing

  4. Once selected, click File > Export....
  5. Change the Save as type: to Registry Hive Files (*.*)
  6. Name this file CBS (with no file extension) and save it to your Desktop.

Once done please upload this file via Dropbox or One Drive or SendSpace.
 
OK, let's give it a go.

Step#1 - SFCFix Script
Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.
  1. Download SFCFix.exe (by niemiro) and save this to your Desktop. If you still have this on your desktop from downloading previously, you don't need to re-download.
  2. Download the file below, SFCScript.txt, and save this to your Desktop.
  3. Save any open documents and close all open windows.
  4. On your Desktop, you should see two files: SFCFix.exe and SFCScript.txt.
  5. Drag the file SFCScript.txt onto the file SFCFix.exe and release it.
  6. SFCFix will now process the script.
  7. Upon completion, a file should be created on your Desktop: SFCFix.txt.
  8. Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of this file into your next post for me to analyse please

Step#2 - Install Update Manually.
 1. Download KB3045171 and save to your desktop. If you have the file already downloaded you can use that instead.
2. Attempt to install from this downloaded file.
3. If it fails, please zip/send the following logs
C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

It worked!! I assume you don't need the SFCFix text but if you do please let me know.

Thanks so much!! Is there a typical donation recommendation? Student here but happy to reward for thorough help.
 
:dance:

Best news all day. Donating is completely up to you. My reward was getting this working for you and you being satisfied.

Take care.
 
I may have done a fist pump or two, so rewarding to see it say Solved. Thanks! And to think the only option Lenovo had for me was to reimage everything.
 
Donated an appropriate amount for KBxx45171... 4+5=9 with .171 in change (or .18)
