I have been trying to install a bunch of windows updates, but every time I try it gets to 15% configured, then fails. It shuts down and restarts my computer and gives me a message that the updates failed. I'm not sure what to do here.
Here's a screenshot to show the updates that aren't working. (If you can't see it, right click the "broken link" symbol and click "open image in new tab/window")
I originally was failing 14 updates with 800b0100 and one other error code (forgot which). I went with manually installing them, and it took it down to 5 updates fail to install with only error code 800b0100.

I had some unstable RAM settings when first setting up the computer, where I think an update or so was occuring and the system crashing. Pretty sure only during the download process though.Anyways, I've done everything on this that I can find. SFC Scannow, System Update Readiness Tool, Reset content of catroot2, Remove any incorrect registry (none of the stuff they say to delete was even in there), The only step that did not go 100% smoothly was "Register the Windows Update Files":
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL /S REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUCLTUX.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUWEBV.DLL /S
REGSVR32 JSCRIPT.DLL /S
REGSVR32 MSXML3.DLL /S
On the bolded ones, I get: Quote: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is laready installed, create an assocation in the Default Programs control panel. and the Rename Pending.xml (there is no pending.xml file, cmd says cant find it, etc).Turned off firewall and AV (WSE), renamed software distribution folder, Clear BITS queue, ran update 958056 (the tool that takes forever), ran chkdsk, ran disk cleaner.Also, every once in a while, when trying to "Try Again" on the updates, it'll say "Windows update success! Updates unnecessary' or something like that. Then I hit check for updates, and those updates become necessary once again, and, all those language packs and remote desktop optional updates that I hid, become unhidden again.
I have just gotten a job working on the internet and am trying to get updates done...Can I fix somehow all of the failed updates in one process? I really need to keep the window open to see who needs what on my work. I just need to know too, why all the failed updates, I am just estimating but am sure there are more than 7 of them. I want to get to work asap...

When I click to restart I get the same failure message at startup.It seems to recycle the startup procedure 3 times before it eventually gets to my desktop page, and when I look ar my update history there is a long list of failed installations.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was in the middle of uninstalling a bunch of software that was slowing down my netbook including ESET Nod 32, and I probably ran Ccleaner after that. After restarting the system windows 7 boots fine, but no Aero, can't run most windows service like sound, wifi, restore points, sfc, or even system restore when booting the netbook using f8 to restore windows from the recovery partition. .exe extension works fine as I was able to run assoc command in cmd and confirmed it. The recovery partition is there and I haven't tampered with it so its safe to rule out that possibility. Something mesed up my windows services and I can't get it to work anymore.Please note that the system is a netbook that didn't come with a recovery disk and no dvd rom.After uninstalling software and running ccleaner windows aero, sfc, system restore, and other windows services won't work. .exe still works fine.*

Everytime Windows downloads Windows updates, it is successfull downloading and installing, however, I then get a message saying: Failure configuring Windows Updates, Reverting Changes, Do Not turn off your computer.
I have gotten Windows Fixit for Windows Updates and installed....but that does not clear up the problem. I have not wanted to use Restore feature of Windows 7, since I have installed many critical programs that I use. Is there any other solution out in Cyberspace that will help resolve the "Failure Configuring Windows Updats".
How to rename a bunch of files in Windows 7 while ignoring the filetypes at the same time? In Windows XP this wasn't a problem, no matter what format the file had, the numbering would continue anyway. In Windows 7 the numbering starts over again when a file has a different filetype format.
For example:
WINDOWS XP:
file (1).jpg
file (2).mov
file (3).wma
Windows 7:
file (1).jpg
file (1).mov
file (1).wma
file (2).jpg
file (2).mov
file (3).jpg
file (4).jpg
I want the numbering to continue in Windows 7... (Not have multiple number ones or two's)
I have a bunch of empty folders in C:UserUsernameAppDataLocal that have number and letter characters. Like this{0E091B39-4B52-47D3-A112-2B4D5C09F64F}Is it OK to delete these. They date back to when I first built this system, beginning of March.

I have Administrative rights to the computers only, and network access rights on our network. I keep a number of computers up to date, including various 3rd-party programs (i.e. java, flash, etc), and I currently manually remotely connect to each computer and install the updates to the programs from a network share, then run Windows update, select all the critical updates (as well as all the applicable optional updates), then disconnect and move on to the next one. Needless to say, time quickly adds up.

I attempted to install the latest RTM release. I assumed that this would be easy as RC-1 was a breeze. Installing RC-1 I used the ISO extract to DVD at Slow Speed, did the same procedure here.
In BIOS I made the boot priority the CD/DVD drive as primary.
I inserted my media into the BD drive and saw the prompt: " Touch any Key to boot fromCD". Did that. The Media began to initialise but it was extremely slow, 3-4 minutes. The screen with company mast and working bars took a few minutes. After that the wallpaper came up with a mouse pointer. I was able to move the mouse around and after another few minutes I saw the Logo screen with Language and keyboard US.
The Windows Install Prompt was next and I executed the install. After a few more minutes I see the "SET UP STARTING". After a few more minutes I get a new screen w/"Load Driver".Required driver for CD/DVD is missing.
The installer scanned the media disc but there was no driver to be found.
I uploaded 2 images for everyone to see.
Is any forum member here have a work around?
I attempted to install my drivers from my sys_32 folders from a thumb drive but no joy.
Since RC-7 was such a snap I assumed this install would be as easy also.
I was on my way to install Freemake video conversion tool and it requires .NET 4.0, which isn't on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 mule, so it fetched the installer and I ran it. It failed to install throwing a fairly generic code "file not found".I have been doing some searches and the problem/s with such are plenteous. the various methods i've seen have spotty success, and too often end with "why don't you nuke the drive and reinstall 7".

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've just tried twice to install Win7 Service Pack 1 on a relative's Acer desktop PC - which runs ZoneAlarm anti-virus, but has very little else apart from Word installed. Each time, the download and install process seemed to go OK; however, when the system rebooted, it displayed the Windows startup logo, but at the point where the logo goes away and you expect to see the mouse appear, it just froze with a blank grey screen. I left it for a while, but nothing happened. Eventually, I power-cycled the PC and an error message was displayed and a Windows boot selection was offered: Repair (recommended) or Start Normally.
Choosing 'Start Normally' repeated the boot and freeze sequence. Choosing 'Repair' started the startup repair procedure, which failed with 'The operating System is incompatible with Startup Repair'. Trying the 'Advanced Restore' procedure reported 'No restore points', although I had explicitly created one before the update, and the update itself creates one. I managed to fix it by running 'Startup Repair from the original Windows 7 installation DVD. The PC works fine now, but Service Pack 1 isn't installed. I have had to turn off automatic updates so that it won't get installed. Failing that, is there a way to disable the 'Service Pack 1' entry in 'Windows Updates' so that automatic updates can be enabled?

I then wiped my main drive my booting into the dvd, and fresh re installing windows. I've done this multiple times, and everytime it comes up saying it needs to restart, then upon restart says 'completing installation' -
but then it comes up saying 'windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware' then restarts and says 'windows could not complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, restart the installation' - then restarts, shows me a boot option of four windows 7's and a windows setup rewind or mething, then shows the windows could not complete message again.
Yesl, you can delete that folder...

I've tried what they outlined in this thread, [URL] When I get to formatting the drive in Command Prompt it just stalls at 0% and says diskpart has encountered an error; the parameter is incorrect. see the system event long for more information.
