Windows 7 CheckSUR unavailable manifest files

there is an MS Visual Studio 11.0 folder in the Program Files (x86) directory, with many VisualC++ snippets. Would that be VS2005?
Click to expand...
I think that is part of Visual Studio 2012. That version is 11.0.x as you can see in the first screenshot.
Are there any other folders named Microsoft Visual Studio <a number> in the Program Files (x86) folder ?

I am not sure how/whether to try to install VS 2005 (your message #137 above) because there is no trace of a previous installation on the PC
Click to expand...
My goal was to install VS2005 and uninstall it afterwards to remove it safely from the list of installed programs and so prevent the 'zombie' update and KB2463332 being offered as important update.

When available, attach the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\SQL9_Hotfix_KB2463332_sqlrun_sql.msp.log

Hello; I took a break during the US elections, which were of great interest even though I live in France. I then carried out your instruction to install VS2005. I rebooted, then uninstalled it, but the update required for it remains. So I got a bit discouraged at this point.

I had forgotten to supply the log file you requested, so I have now re-installed VS2005. It defaults to C:/Program Files (x86). But the required component SQL Server 2005 Express Edition x64 failed to install. There are versions of MS SQL Server/90 on both /Prog Files and /Prog Files (x86). But they date from 2013 when I first set up the machine.

During the VS2005 installn there was a 'known compatibility issues' message about the SQL Server failure, with an option to check online for solutions. I did not do this.

To answer your question in #141, there is VS 11.0 dating from 2013, as well as VS 8.0 installed today.

There are no *.log files in the VS 8.0 directory or subfolders.

Here is a screenshot of the current important updates (now 14; was 11 3 weeks ago):

Again, any pointers would be appreciated thanks.
 
Install KB890830 and KB915597 only and report the result.

Rename the bold folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8.0 into C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8.0backup
Restart the computer.
Check Windows Update again and post a screenshot of the available import updates.
 
I renamed the folder as you said, and rebooted. The same list of important updates came up, with a MS Defender Antivirus added:
1606946238492.png
I managed to apply that update. But I then failed to update MS VS 2010 Security (KB2467173) and MS VS 2012 (KB2781514), each attempted separately.
But updates to VS 2005 SP1, followed by VS 2005 Security Update (KB2538242), then VS 2005 Security Update (KB925674) and VS 2005 Security Update (KB937060) were successful - but the last two were 'Not needed'.
I rebooted; now the important updates list is as follows:
1606946121285.png
I tried to update VS 2005 security update for SP1 (KB2538218), as the lowest-number KB in the list, but it failed.
Should I try just uninstalling VS 2005?
 
Try to install KB4516065 only.
If it fails, attach the zipped cbs.log to your next reply.
 
The update you suggested failed.
I couldn't zip the CBS.log file as it was 'in use' (don't know why - I had shut the Win Update) but made a copy - attached.
I hope you can make something of it.

I ran the two parts of the instructions under 5 above. I had to clear space on my 500GB drive C: which was nearly full. As well as backups and moving big files to D: I did a disk cleanup. I notice that this included cleaning up Windows Update files. I trust that this has not affected our progress to date.

Here is the edited cmd prompt:
