Thanks buddy. Well I scanned all the copies of wusa.exe, and none came up with any infection. I checked the md5's on the files & they are all recognised widely on the net so, I guess they are as they should be. I absolutely hate to give up but this one's a rock hard brick wall eh :-( just have...

Does this look like I have a bad copy of wusa.exe on my installation media? Logfile from sfc /scannow 2016-05-02 22:15:11, Info CSI 000002eb [SR] Cannot repair member file [l:16{8}]"wusa.exe" of Microsoft-Windows-WUSA, Version = 6.1.7601.17514, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_INTEL (0), Culture...

Many thanks. I now have all the info I need :-)

I was just hoping to disable it just as a diagnostic.. to see if stopping it made any difference to the windows update problem. I'm probably on a wild goose chase though. I got the idea into my head that because it showed up in task manager as wusa.exe *32, on a 64 bit system, and was appearing...

Sorry to double-post. I spoke too soon.. Autopatcher actually isn't doing it. It downloaded all the updates with absolutely no problem. But when it came to install time - it hung at 98% on the first item. I noticed I could get that item to complete by opening task manager and 'ending process'...

Sounds good, thanks for the info :-) I'm working on a Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 machine - I'll go google, but if you have any pointers regarding how to join a domain that'd be helpful. I'm not so hot on the commercial side of Windows.

What I normally do is try and reuse the OEM System Locked Preinstallation licensing if available. You need 3 things: - Something called a SLIC table hard-coded into the BIOS by the OEM - The correct OEM SLP key for the manufacturer and version of Windows - A matching digital certificate file...

I'm trying to block the upgrade to Windows 10, by attempting to pre-empt the creation of the two folders it uses to preload the installation files. I figured if they're already there and they're locked, it won't be able to proceed.

Yes it's crossed my mind there's actually no problem, it's just the server's not responding maybe? I dunno. Anyways.. in danger of a serious attack of insomnia if I don't make myself log off & go to bed lol. Cheers till the morrow :) [edit.. I've just tried updating using 'autopatcher' & it's...

Right.. will give it a go. I saw you posted a link to 'How do I reset Windows Update components?' & there's some stuff in there I haven't tried yet, so I'll give that a go tomorrow; bed calls now. Thanks for helping. Getting really frustrated with this Windows Update prob but, I get like a dog...

Thanks buddy - I've tried sfc /scannow (sorry, omitted to mention that one) but not in the exact manner you suggest. Will try it...

Completely fresh reinstall of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on a Dell Inspiron 1570 laptop. Using the entire 160 Gb new hard disk, formatted as per windows setup. Installing from a USB stick loaded with W7 installation files purchased from ebay. I am using the SLIC in the machine's BIOS together with...
