Windows 7 Windows 7 Update Error. Can anyone help?

[drew carey]

Hiya All

First post.....got a bit of an issue.I have a new netbook which has windows 7 starter installed. Go to do all the initial updates. Firstly it hangs and eventually the laptop restarted of its own accord. When it had all rebooted, most of the updates had installed with the exception of three. Each of these won't install and I get an error.

The error code is 800B0100 and apparently it relates to the security DLL's not being installed or working correctly. Windows recommend carrying out the system update readiness program, which I have done. I've then gone to carry out the three updates again but they still fail.

I know I can ignore them and not download, but they are security updates so really want to get this sorted.

Any suggestions??????

I have a similar problem to this, I get the following error code Code 800B0100. The updates I am trying to install are the system stack update (KB2476490) and the SP1 update for x64 (KB976932). I have read around and know that I need the system stack update pre SP1 but I cannot get it to install it fails every time.

I have tried downloading the standalone .exe it also fails. I have tried resetting the windows reg components and resetting the windows update settings. I have tried clearing the SoftwareDistribution folder in the system directory. I have run the system update readiness tool and found that some other unavailable repair files that I do not know. Can anybody tell me what these files are and where I can get these files or a tool to help me repair them. I believe this is what is preventing the first update working.

here is the System update readiness tools log

There are quite a few sites that discuss "CBS Catalog Corrupt". They have different suggestions as to whether you can move/rename the package, or need to run Link Removed - Invalid URLto remove it. After doing one or the other possibly Windows Update will try to download the update again.

It may be easier, if you can, to uninstall the package if it is listed on the Installed Packages page in Windows Update. This is not the same as update history. Your situation may require the use of both methods.

Windows Update works in some strange ways. There is a regulation reference that allows certain updates to be installed at certain times. All the parts of a package must be downloaded, and verified before it can be installed.

Also keep in mind a good, unblocked, internet connection is essential. You can download the updates manually if it appears necessary.

Thanks for your reply Saltgrass, I think I might have it sorted now I just decided to do a full repair of the OS to see if that sorts out the corruption I will post back, to let everyone know if this works. It does seem to be since I have got the service stack update installed now.

Thanks for your help.
Mardy

Edit: The OS repair worked SP1 installed without issue and now windows is up to date . Again thanks for your help.

I've got the same errors and MS Support don't seem to be getting to the bottom of resolving them, if the full repair of the OS worked, how do you go about running this?

Cheers, problem is I don't have the windows 7 installation disk, my laptop came preinstalled with the OS.

When I had this problem I had to do a repair Install recommended by MS technet moderator, which is a PTA as it is a time consuming operation after it is done you have to run Windows update. I had to re-register some software. It took me 4 hours plus to get it done but it fixed my problem Repair Install - Windows 7 Forums
