Win7Sp1 x64 - Updates Failed 80073712

There is something odd. It looks like this machine is running Windows 7 but the missing files are part of Windows Server 2008 R2.
Please explain.
 
This PC is running win7 ultimate x64 sp1 since 10 years ago, same installation, not even once OS was wiped and re-installed over all these years.

Could be remnants of win srv 2008 r2 Virtual PC labs from the past?
This is the only thing i can remember that relates to other OS.

Do you have any thoughts on how to proceed?

In the meantime, i saw that all important win7 updates have been installed automatically.
There is one update KB2310138 that is installed over and over again and two optional updates that failed last time i tried to install.
Maybe this helps.

Sorry for the late reply.
I cannot find the remaining corrupted file. It is part of a Windows Server 2008 R2 installation.
Do you perhaps have access to another machine running Windows Server 2008 ?
If not, do you have the .ISO file available which you used to install the Windows Server 2008 on this machine ?
