[SOLVED] KB3000850 fails to install

[THG]

Hello
I have the same problem as many others, after a system restore KB3000850 fails to install with error 0x800700A1.

I checked the CBS log an found the following error:
2015-02-15 12:03:00, Error CSI 0000090d (F) Failed on regenerating file [l:18{9}]"MSDTC.LOG"[gle=0x80004005]

SFCFix shows the same error:
CORRUPT: C:\WINDOWS\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-com-dtc-runtime_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_0a1162f033fa01f6\MSDTC.LOG

but the mentioned file "MSDTC.LOG" is identical on a second computer with Win 8.1.

Thanks for help

This will either be a corruption inside the file or a corruption inside the registry, the first thing to do is to make sure the file is not corrupt before changing anything in the registry.
