Hi - four Security Updates for Microsoft .NET Framework fail to install repeatedly:
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 on Windows 7, Vista, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB3122661)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 on Windows 7, Vista, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB3127233)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB3122661)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for x64 (KB3127233)

System appeared to hang creating restore point, so created restore point manually and downloaded first update above from Microsoft. Attempted to run NDP46-KB3122661-x64.exe as administrator, but nothing happened. Not interested in Windows 10. Please help - thanks!
 
Hi and welcome to Sysnative. Let's see if we can get you fixed up. Please start with 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.
 
I don't have access to that link as you would need to make it public. I would try SendSpace again.

If you want to see what I'm talking about go ahead and download the file from the link on SendSpace and open it. It's not the correct file.
 
OK, now please do the following.

Step#1 - System Update Readiness Tool (SUR)
1. Download and run the following file.
2. When it asks you if you wish to install, please answer yes. Note: It could take 15 minutes or more to run. Please don't cancel.
3. You will get an Installation Complete screen when it's done running.
4. Please attach the log from the following location. C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log
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.

Excellent. Now manually download and attempt to install KB3122661 from the link below. Make sure you select NDP46-KB3122661-x64.exe when given a choice.

Download Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 .NET Framework 4.6.1 on Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 28 R2 Service Pack 1, Windows Vista Service Pack 2, and Windows Server 28 Service Pack 2 or .NET Framework 4.6.1 on Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 28 R2 Service Pack 1 from Official Microsoft Download Center

If the update fails, please do the following.


  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, and press enter.

    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.

Thanks. Now I need the following logs.

Using the .NET Collect Utility


  1. Download collect.exe and save to your desktop.
  2. Go ahead and run the tool
  3. The utility creates a compressed cabinet of all the needed logs to %TEMP%\vslogs.cab.
  4. Please zip/attach to this post or if too large, send using a service such as SendSpace.
 
Thanks for the info. Please do the following and let me know when complete.

Step#1 - Run Windows Repairs
Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.
1. Download Windows Repair (All-in-One) Portable to your desktop.
2. Once the file is downloaded, right-click on the file on your desktop and choose Extract All...

3. Keep the defaults and click the Extract button.
4. A folder named tweaking.com_windows_repair_aio will be extracted to the desktop. Once the extraction is complete the folder will open.
5. Inside this folder, there is a folder named Tweaking.com - Windows Repair. Open this folder as well.

6. Double-click on Repair_Windows.exe to open. Note: Please make sure all of your programs are closed and anything you were working on is saved as we will be rebooting.
7. When the program opens, click the Reboot to Safe Mode button at the bottom of the screen. Answer Yes to allow.
8. Once rebooted into Safe Mode, open the program again. When the program opens, click the Repairs tab and click the Open Repairs button.
9. A backup of your registry will be made. After a few moments you will have many options from which you can choose.
10. Please click the Unselect All button and then click to enable only the following ones:

14 - Remove Temp Files
17 - Repair Windows Updates



11. Ensure the Restart check box is selected and click the Start Repairs button in the lower right of the screen. This may take some time to run so be patient.

12. Once the fixes are complete you will be prompted to restart your machine. Answer Yes.
 
No problem. I have some more ideas. I think we are close actually. Please do the following again so I can get a fresh log.

Using the .NET Collect Utility


  1. Download collect.exe and save to your desktop.
  2. Go ahead and run the tool
  3. The utility creates a compressed cabinet of all the needed logs to %TEMP%\vslogs.cab.
  4. Please zip/attach to this post or if too large, send using a service such as SendSpace.
