[SOLVED] Updates Failed, strange 8.3 (MSDOS) named files in servicing\packages (7 Pro x64)

Tentative "Solved" here - downloading & installing did work. Still have a reboot to do and such, and don't know about future updates, but I think we may be good! Sure took a while to get to this point, with my weird unknown mystery .mum/.cat files, but yay!

[SOLVED] Updates Failed, strange 8.3 (MSDOS) named files in servicing\packages (7 Pro x64)

As was the case with the last time I ran sfc /scannow (as admin), no dice - no integrity violations. The previous post I made has my CBS.log inside the zip, but for simplicity's sake, I have uploaded a fresh copy of it, (renamed to .txt as requested) to dropbox for you, linked below...

[SOLVED] Updates Failed, strange 8.3 (MSDOS) named files in servicing\packages (7 Pro x64)

Well, I deleted the files, then ran SURT. When I try to run updates, I get "Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200d: Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2892074)." in the event log. The CBS directory is attached here, but...

[SOLVED] Updates Failed, strange 8.3 (MSDOS) named files in servicing\packages (7 Pro x64)

Ready for the plot to thicken? I've been two-timing with another forum (gasp!) and we did a little digging over there. Per the CheckSUR log, those 8.3-named .MUM files are supposed to be named something else (probably due to hashes?) - which is what I suspect you attached. Turns out that I...

[SOLVED] Updates Failed, strange 8.3 (MSDOS) named files in servicing\packages (7 Pro x64)

More possibly relevant info - this had some sort of McAfee trial on it, before any of these updates, but I uninstalled it *and* used the McAfee uninstaller tool. (Some sort of norton cloud backup tool too, and same deal, removed & used the norton tool). Also, just some context for the weird...

[SOLVED] Updates Failed, strange 8.3 (MSDOS) named files in servicing\packages (7 Pro x64)

First - this is sort of a double post - I posted in the wrong forum somehow (too many tabs!) buit the info there isn't quite up to date anyway. So - I had some update issues, described in depth here (in the improperly located post), but in short, I was able to run the Updated Readiness tool...

4 Updates Failed, 800B0100, 80073712, 8024200D (Win 7 x64, Acer factory install)

OK - I made some progress! I used the update readyness tool again, with the .MUM files from the Microsoft Updates Catalog in the c:\Windows\CheckSUR\packages folder, and got through *some* updates. Now, however, what I have seems *weird.* It seems that there are a number of 8.3 (short files...

4 Updates Failed, 800B0100, 80073712, 8024200D (Win 7 x64, Acer factory install)

Hey folks - this is a pretty-darned-close to factory Windows 7 X64 SP1 Pro system. (Acer TravelMate P645-MG-7653). (The good news is I imaged the drive when I first got the system, so if I *have* to I can restore to factory). A number of Windows Updates have installed correctly, but I've...
