Looks like another update has some problems. Let's try reinstalling it.


Install Update with DISM

  1. Download the update MSU here: Download Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3003743) from Official Microsoft Download Center
  2. Copy the MSU file to a convenient location (such as C:\temp).
  3. Click on the Start
    Start%20Orb.jpg
    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
  5. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each

    cd C:\temp

    replace C:\temp with your path if different

    expand {update name}.msu -f:* C:\temp

    replace {update name} with the name of the MSU file downloaded in step 1

    DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\temp\{update name}.cab

  6. You should receive the message:
    The operation completed successfully.
    Restart Windows to complete this operation.
    Do you want to restart the computer now (Y/N)?
  7. Make sure to allow the computer to restart if prompted.

    If you receive any other message:
  8. Right-click on the Command Prompt window and click Select All, this will invert all of the colours by selecting the text, now press enter. All of this text is now copied.
  9. Paste (Ctrl+V) it into your next post please.
 
Excellent. Please try installing KB3060716 again.
If the update fails to install, zip and attach CBS.log as before.
 
Excellent :)

Please check for Windows Updates and install any that are offered.
If an update fails to install, zip and attach C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log with your reply.

Looks like KB3173040 V1 has a problem. Let's reinstall it.

Install Update with DISM

  1. Download the zipped update MSU here: View attachment 21758
  2. Extract the MSU file from the zip to a convenient location (such as C:\temp).
  3. Click on the Start
    Start%20Orb.jpg

zcomputerwiz, installed successfully but did not asked for restart.
Should I try to install the pending update now?​
 
Very good. Yes, please do.

If the update fails, zip and attach CBS.log with your reply.
 
Are there more info in this site on how to troubleshoot windows updates issues? any good articles? Thanks again.
 
There are some articles here dealing with particular problems and error codes, but not this one.

Most of the information we get is from the CBS and CheckSUR logs.
Here's a Microsoft page on reading the CBS log: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/928228

They only list a few simple situations in which files are missing or corrupt. In your case on this machine, some parts of a previously installed update were missing.

Here's the relevant section of the log:

You can see in the log which update was being installed here:
Code: 
2016-07-18 16:49:15, Info                  CBS    Plan: Package: Package_1_for_KB3173040~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.2.2, current: Absent, pending: Default, start: Absent, applicable: Installed, targeted: Installed, limit: Installed

A previous version of this update (6.1.1.2) was already installed, and would be updated to the new version (6.1.2.2) here:
Code: 
2016-07-18 16:49:15, Info                  CBS    Plan: Migrating selection state, from package: Package_1_for_KB3173040~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.2 to package: Package_1_for_KB3173040~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.2.2

At this point the package resolution process begins, but then fails because one of the update's SxS assemblies are not present (when it should be if the update is installed).
Code: 
2016-07-18 16:49:15, Info                  CBS    Exec: Resolving Package: Package_1_for_KB3173040~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.2, Update: 3173040-1_neutral_LDR, PinDeployment: amd64_06cf3eb88289aa8dc407ef70ac02a0c5_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.23489_none_5da85d88cbe750cb
2016-07-18 16:49:15, Error                 CSI    00000037@2016/7/18:20:49:15.512 (F) d:\win7sp1_gdr\base\wcp\componentstore\csd_locking.cpp(324): Error STATUS_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING originated in function CCSDirectTransaction::LockComponent expression: (null)

Each of the threads for problems like these are unique, so we have to start in the CBS logs to determine which updates have problems.
Once we find the problem update there are a couple different things that can be done, attempting to reinstall the update is the first step that I try.

If you are looking for information like this, much of it has not been made into a tutorial since what works in one case doesn't necessarily work in another.
We do have a Windows Update Academy if you have lots of free time and find Windows Update troubleshooting to be particularly interesting :)
 
Glad to help. I'll mark this thread solved.
If you encounter any problems, please post back and I'll continue to assist you.
