Another 4054518 failure with error 80073701

[wrr14f]

Hello, gentlemen and ladies:

I have a case of failing 4054518 with the error message above. I've been trying to research on my own for a while and tried different fixes... all to no avail.
Because of 4054518 failing, I've been failing every monthly rollup since some time in 2017, too.
What can be done? I am really not ready to go Win10 on this machine or even reimage it with fresh 7.

Thanks for the anticipated help!

This is getting interesting. CheckSUR.log attached.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Excellent!

Retry updates and attach CBS.log if any fail.

 

[wrr14f]

Good morning...
Sure enough, failed again. New CBS.log link below.

Thank you so much for your help.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Can you please retry? The log I need to open cannot be opened in any of my software.

 

[wrr14f]

sure thing... please try below and let me know. I should mention that I get an error that CBS.log is in use by another program, but I just click "continue". Using winrar, btw.

Thanks again.

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Oh, okay!

Can you wait a bit and then copy CBS.log to your desktop and zip it up and attach it here.

 

[wrr14f]

Done!

Great!

FRST Registry Search
1. Click your Start button and type in cmd.
2.After you find the Command Prompt, right click on it and select Run as Administrator.
3. Copy and paste the following into the Command Prompt:

reg load HKLM\COMPONENTS C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\COMPONENTS

4. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
5. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
6. Copy and paste KB3197868 into the Search box and click the Search Registry button.
7. When the scan is complete a notepad window will open with the results. Please attach this to your next reply. It is saved on your desktop named SearchReg.txt.

 

[wrr14f]

Hmm... I don't have SearchReg.txt. The scan created FRST.txt and Addition.txt.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

You have pressed Scan instead of Search Registry.

 

[wrr14f]

Duh... embarrassing.

Correct file attached.

Step#1 - FRST Fix
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Download the attached fixlist.txt and save it to the Desktop.
Note. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work (in this case...the desktop).
3. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
4. Press the Fix button just once and wait. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
5. When finished FRST64 will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post the contents of it in your reply.
6. Retry updates and attach CBS.log if any fail.
