Hello everyone,

I have been trying to update to IE10 or IE11 from IE9 with no success. I have noticed a ton of failed windows updates but I am not sure which may actually be related to this issue. I have followed the Windows Update Posting Instructions and have pulled the CBS folder after running sfc /scannow as well as the Update Readiness Tool. Prior to pulling these logs I ran ccleaner to clean temp files and any potential registry issues that might be causing the problem. Thank you all for your help in resolving this issue.

I apologize about the link below for the logs. My machine wouldn't let me upload the files.

Dropbox - CBS.zip

Our updates are managed a bit differently in our environment. Would you like me to attempt to upgrade from IE 9 to IE 11 again, or is there a specific set of updates you were wanting me to install first? Thank you again for all of your help.
 
Are you using a WSUS server?

Yes, go ahead and attempt to update to IE11. If it fails I will need two logs from you. Thanks.
c:\windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log
c:\windows\windowsupdate.log
 
WSUS+SCCM. I will keep you updated.

It appears this is related to pre-requisite updates not being installed correctly.

All of the logs have been attached. Another interesting thing that happened is that I restarted the machine after the install failed failed, Ran the installer again, and the installer displayed that IE 11 installed successfully. Restarted the machine as it says to do after installing IE 11... The machine is still on IE 9. :lol:

OK I see some issues we likely need to take care of. Please do the following.

SFC Scan

  1. Click on the Start
    Start%20Orb.jpg
    button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
  2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
  3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each

    sfc /scannow

    Wait for this to finish before you continue

    copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log %userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt
  4. This will create a file, cbs.txt on your Desktop. Please attach this to your next post.

Please Note:: if the file is too big to upload to your next post please upload via a service such as Dropbox or One Drive or SendSpace and just provide the link.
 
Please do the following.

Remove Update Manually
1. Click on the Start
Start%20Orb.jpg
button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following command into it, press enter
wusa /uninstall /KB:3058515

4. Let me know if it says it was successful or if there are any errors.
 
I ran this installer since the beginning. Is this the offline installer? This seemed like it was downloading files from Microsoft during the install process.

::EDIT::

I'm a liar. :)
EIE11_EN-US_MCM_WIN764 was the name of the one I was using.

I will try the one from the link.
IE11-Windows6.1-x64-en-us is the one from your link.

Thank you.
 
Thanks. I suspected something wrong with that update.

When you attempt to install IE11, are you using the offline installer from the following link? If not, can you try it?
Download Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 from Official Microsoft Download Center


The installation still fails. Do you think this single update is the culprit? Is there a way to uninstall it even though it's corrupt? I can try anything you suggest in safe mode as well. I do have physical access to the machine.

What type of affects can the below commands have on the system? Will it help?

net stop Wuauserv
attrib -r %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution /S /D
rd /s /Q %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
net start Wuauserv
shutdown -r

I don't know if it's the only issue but appears to be part of the problem.

Yes but it's tedious. We may do that but like to try other things first.

This is a common thing we do depending on the situation. Basically after doing this, the first time you check for windows updates it will take a long time as it has to update the entire windows update cache. Also the windows update history will be gone (but that is very minor). We may do this as well but wanted to try a couple things first.


Can you try installing IE with the offline installer again but do it when you are disconnected from the internet. Let me know the results. If it fails, please send me the IE11_Main.log and the CBS.log.

Thanks.
 
BrianDrab,

It appears that my time to troubleshoot this issue has dried up. The user and I decided to run Firefox for the time being until the window of opportunity opens to re-image the machine. Thank you for your time and help with this issue. If there are any tutorials on troubleshooting Windows Updates on this forum that I can look through in order to give back to the community here please direct me. Thank you again and I hope you have a great day.
