Hello everyone,

My system is Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bits.

I had not checked for Microsoft Updates for several weeks. I did so earlier this week and began to download the updates. Some would not install so
I went to the Download Update site and downloaded them to my desktop and installed them.

However, I cannot install KB3029944 either way.

I ran the windows update readiness tool which found some errors.

This is the SFCFix LogSFCFix version 2.4.3.0 by niemiro.

Hi Go The Power,

I am probably posting a duplicate again. I didn't see my rely regarding the drop box address listed in the forums. I assume I messed up yet again !

Anyway here is the address to the CBS log in dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/0uy54r66nucnvei/cbs.txt?dl=0.

Thanks and again apologies for any duplicates or triplicates. The method of posting is different than I'm used to.

Hello again :),

This type of double posting is fine, as everything is still in the same thread. If it goes into different threads it will confuse me :p

SFC /SCANNOW is not reporting any corruptions, it did how ever repair a few files. Can you please try and upgrade to SP1 again. If it fails please provide the following:

Please follow the instructions Here to run the System Update Readiness Tool. When the SURT finishes installing, copy (Ctrl + C) and paste (Ctrl + V) the contents of the SURT log into your next post please:
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log

Hi Go The Power,

Attached are the CheckSur.log and the CheckSUR.persist.log (I hope)



I am already updated to SP1. The problems were with the February patches. I had to install most by getting them from the Download Center. I uninstalled KB3004394 after reading that it could cause a problem. I was then able to install KB3025390, However, I still could not install the February update for Visual Studio and KB3029944 which is a security patch.

I did more research and was able to download the visual studio package (?) from a Microsoft site in Germany and installed it. However, KB 3029944 still won't install.

Thanks

Hi To The Power,

I am obviously very stupid.

I log into the forums and go to this thread. When I click on the link to the package you provided, I get a pop-up saying I am not logged in. (I look at the top of the page and I am logged in.) So I log in on the pop-up and then I get another pop-up saying I'm not logged in. Again, I check the top of the page and I am logged in. :confused2:

Thanks

Hello again,

Please ignore my previous post. Somehow I put my pc in a loop. It kept showing the same page. I believe its fixed now.

I went into safe mode with networking to get the download.

Hopefully, the computer will function properly and I will be able to complete your instructions.

Strange, it is not accepting these files...

The files I gave definably the right ones, I have just confirmed that the secure hash is right for both of those files.
