Get me the CBS log after the failed attempt, maybe I can find something useful there. Sigh

• Use the Windows key + R to open a run command
• Type regedit.exe and press OK
• Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer
• Check if following registry keys have correct values:
  MsiExecCA32 should end with \Windows\syswow64\msiexec.exe
  MsiExecCA64 should end with \Windows\system32\msiexec.exe
• If those are correct, then highlight one and go to Edit > Permissions and verify that SYSTEM and Administrators have Full Control and not just Read permissions
  Repeat for the other key
• If you had to make changes to the registry, restart the computer or server and try the installation again

 

[ekitep67]

All registry key values was already correct.
All permissions was already correct.
Do you want me to try updates anyway?

Step#1 - Capture Process Monitor Trace
1. Download and run Process Monitor. Leave this running while you perform the next steps.
2. Try unchecking .NET Framework 3.5 just like you have in the past.
3. Stop Process Monitor as soon as it fails. You can simply do this by clicking the magnifying glass on the toolbar as shown below.

4. 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.
5. Zip up and attach the LogFile.PML file as well as your CBS.log

Unchecking .NET 3.5 failed.

Would you be willing to try upgrading to Win10? I'm asking because this is a very complex fix and I wouldn't want to waste your time fixing it there's an easier way. :)

 

[ekitep67]

To be honest I would like to avoid upgrading as long as possible...
If the fix takes too long, or too difficult to worth it, I'd rather return to a previous state when .NET was worked more or less even .NET updates not working.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

That's fine, we will continue fixing this then. :)

Step#1 - Export Publishers Key

1. Click on the Start button 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\WINEVT\Publishers
   
   
4. Once selected, click File > Export....
5. Change the Save as type: to Registry Hive Files (*.*)
6. Name this file PUB (with no file extension) and save it to your Desktop.

Once done please upload this file via a file sharing service.

Thanks.
WINEVT export compressed and attached as PUB.ZIP (unfortunately uncompressed version of this filetype/structure not allowed).

I have got a warning from Repair Windows, that I'm not in safe mode, so I can choose to continue with risks or reboot to safe mode (See screenshot).
What to choose?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

As stated in my instructions, this should be performed from Safe Mode/ w Networking.

 

[ekitep67]

Sorry, somehow I missed the very first row :)
