Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601)
The optional updates installed perfectly fine but if I tried to get the important one it would start downloading, make no progress, a second later notify me of a failure due to error 80073712. It's been the same message every time whatever I've tried. The computer otherwise seems to be in working condition, after awhile of continual crashing and freezing despite clean malwarebyte scans in both normal and safe mode. (I can't remember when it stopped acting up, maybe it was after I uninstalled adobe flash/shockwave/air/etc).

1) Following the Window's help guide I I repair windows using the system repair dvd then used the System Update readiness tool (kb947821 for win7x64) from the windows website. Then I tried to get the update (KB2875783)to no avail.

2) The microsoft website had some automatic download-me-program-i'll-mess-around thing to uninstall old updates or something (it was a few days ago I forget). I ran system update readiness again (?can't remember) and then tried to get the update. To no avail.

before either of the above two attempts I ran sfc /scannow and it said there were no integrity violations. I ran it again today and it said the same.

3) Today I also tried this solution's "method 2". The catroot2 folder could not be found and that step didn't really work out. I check the folder and opened the dberr.txt file and found a list of suspicious looking errors:

I have no idea what's happening. I don't believe I have any restore points made for some reason (oops). I've been having a lot of trouble trying to back up my data (200kbps...). I'll probably go run a disk check after I post this.

Hi Toutseul

Is KB2875783 the update that is giving you troubles? Did you try to install the update by downloading the full install from the Microsoft site?

Hi Toutseul

[toutseul]

I'm not sure what that means but I did look up that specific update on the site and tried to use the installer downloaded from microsoft; it didn't work.

Ok, usually when a update is running there is a log that could help diagnosing the problem.

First let's remove all the temporary files...
Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop

• Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista or above accept the Security Warning).
• It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
• Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
• Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

After running TFC try to install the update using the full install, check the folders c:\windows\temp and %temp% to locate the install log.

A fast way top open the folders is to type the above paths on the windows search box accessible when you open the Windows 7 Orb .

[toutseul]

I ran the program and rebooted manually once it finished, then tried to install the update from the standalone (same failure same code). I checked the temp file and it only contained a folder for secunia psi.

[SleepyDude]

Hi,

Make sure you download the full Windows6.1-KB2875783-x64.msu available here, save the file in c:\windows\temp

Open the Run box by pressing and Copy & Paste the following:

c:\windows\temp\Windows6.1-KB2875783-x64.msu /log:c:\windows\temp\KB2875783.log

Wait for the install to run and produce the error then open the file c:\windows\temp\KB2875783.log and post it contents in your post.

erm the log file has walls of "ÿ" things repeating over and over, with some legible lines here and there (if you want I can pick it out and paste it)

This computer had a different system locale awhile ago, currently it's in english.

Hi,

First I want you to run Check Disk...

• open the Command Prompt as Administrator (Tutorial)
• type the command:
  

  chkdsk /r /x C:

  When it ask if you want to do a scan on next restart answer Yes
• restart the computer and let the scan run it will take some time...

Next,

• download ListChkdskResult
• execute the file and accept all the windows prompts to authorize the program to run
• Notepad will open with a report showing the chkdsk result
• copy & paste the log to your reply

Go to this Microsoft page download and run the Run the Windows Update troubleshooter and System Update Readiness tool (Checksur.exe)

After running the above tools try to install the update like you did before to get a new install log.

Hi,

Please Run the Windows Update troubleshooter and System Update Readiness tool (Checksur.exe) from the link on my post #10

[toutseul]

Yup I did, and that was the resulting log. Should I try again?

[SleepyDude]

Yup I did, and that was the resulting log. Should I try again?

In that case I would like to see the log c:\windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log produced by the tool, please attach the log.
