Windows 2012 R2, Error 80073712

[jeff720]

So close!! but no avail.
When it checked for updates, it found more than last time and it did not give me a failed error right away. After installing the updates, rebooting and checking the update history, the same updates failed but others were successful.
The other updates were related to MS Office and Monthly Security Rollup.

Attempt to update now and attach CBS.log if it fails.

 

[jeff720]

before proceeding to update again, I rebooted the server. But it failed upon installing the updates.
What could be causing this issue? and only affect .Net updates?

Thank you!

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

There is a registry corruption on the server. I have now restored the keys that were missing, but the link has not yet been made. Can you please get me a fresh copy of your COMPONENTS hive?

 

[jeff720]

What could have caused this?

Sure, please see COMPONENTS(2).zip

You've had some filesystem errors (revealed by CheckDsk I had you run). Has the HDD been tested (as a precaution)?

Thanks, I'll review and let you know.

 

[jeff720]

The server is actually one of several VMs I have stored locally on my SSD and it's the only one having this problem.

Thanks again for your time and help with this.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Aha, then it may have been a sudden power loss or something similar...

 

[jeff720]

They are on my laptop, so no unexpected shutdowns. But I do Pause (Suspend) the VM when I need to reboot my laptop for whatever reason.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Step#1 - Capture Process Monitor Trace
1. Download and run Process Monitor. Leave this running while you perform the next steps.
2. Run Windows Updates just like you have in the past.
3. Stop Process Monitor as soon as Windows Update 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

Thank you! This has helped enormously. You are missing a NET Framework related registry key (that's all I see for now). I'll try to find a replacement and post back.

 

[jeff720]

any luck with that missing key?

Thanks!

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Hi, I haven't forgotten, I'd just been slammed with work, will get to you as soon as I can.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

I will be away for some time, but I have arranged for my colleague to take care of my threads while I am away, so he'll be with you when he can.

Thank you for your patience.

 

[jeff720]

Hello,

Just following up. Any luck with the missing key(s)?

Thanks!

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

I have returned yesterday and catching up on my backlog. I will be with you soon.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

You mentioned that you have several VMs, are any of them Server2012 R2? If so, could I get the COMPONENTS hive from a healthy system please?
