[SOLVED] 2012 R2 - Failing to install KB4561666

[Mojar88]

Hi,

I have a 2012 R2 server that is failing to install the 2020-06 monthy security rollup (KB4561666). I believe this to be the cause of issues with IE that is currently unable to be opened on the server.

I have tried sfc, dism and the sfcfix tool. Unfortunately no luck.

Windows update checks for updates fine but I am unable to install this patch. Error in the update ui is 800F0831.

Please see attached cbs logs.

SFC log.

Hi!

Hello and welcome!

Install Update with DISM

1. Download this update and save to your desktop. The file name will be Windows8.1-KB4457129-x64.cab.zip.
2. Right-click on this file and select Extract All... Click the Extract button. You can close the folder window that opens
3. Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
4. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator. Go ahead and allow if you receive the UAC prompt.
5. Copy and paste the following command into the command prompt window and press enter.
   
   dism /online /add-package /packagepath:%userprofile%\desktop\ Windows8.1-KB4457129-x64.cab
6. You should receive the message:
   The operation completed successfully.
   Restart Windows to complete this operation. <---You may not get this line.
   Do you want to restart the computer now (Y/N)? <---You may not get this line.

Go ahead and do so if prompted. Let me know what errors if any come up. If you do get errors, please zip/attach your CBS.log

Note: If you get the message that no packages that require processing were found, use the following command instead:

dism /online /add-package /packagepath:%userprofile%\desktop\ Windows8.1-KB4457129-x64.cab\Windows8.1-KB4457129-x64.cab

If successful, retry one of the updates that failed and attach CBS.log if it fails again.
