[Server2008R2SP1 x64] Can't install WU & "CSI Manifest Bad XML" errors. Surt tdcc 4.

I have a fairly important Server 2008 R2 machine (so rebuild from scratch not really how I want to go) that can no longer install the latest Windows Updates. Updates install, the server reboots, and after the updates hit 90% it say its failed and changes roll back and the server reboots again.

I have run the Update Readiness Tool many times in both the .MSU install method and the DISM method. Just running the .MSU left me with 10 un-fixable issues, but the DISM method fixed all but the last 4. In fact when I run the DISM method now, it show no issues even though updates won't install and the .MSU method still shows 4 issues. I have run SFC /SCANNOW with no issues found. I also ran SFCFix and it reports the same last 4 issues. I'm including the SFCFix log, the checkSUR log, and the Windows Event Log error when attempting installs. Also, I have tried installing the uninstallable hot-fixes through both Windows Update method and manually installing each patch separately. I have compared, using BeyondCompare, the manifest (XML) files that it says are "bad" with known good copies from another server and they are exactly the same.

I have tried every fix and method I could find through Google and can't get over this hurdle. I'm hoping someone will have an idea that I haven't tried. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the fixes. I'm testing them today, and I will update the thread as soon as I know if its fixed or requires more troubleshooting.

Re: [Server2008R2SP1 x64] Can't install WU & "CSI Manifest Bad XML" errors. Surt tdcc

Looks like the script fixed the remaining errors from the Readiness Check. Now I'm attempting the Windows Updates that have been failing repeatedly to see if this corrected that situation.

Good news is that Update Readiness no longer reports any issues, bad news is that I still can't install these critical updates.
Below are the event log errors I found for the updates themselves and one error related to TrustedInstaller that I thought could be relevant.
Nothing else in event logs indicates any issues that I can discern.

Re: [Server2008R2SP1 x64] Can't install WU & "CSI Manifest Bad XML" errors. Surt tdcc

Also should mention, that I had been able to install other updates (even before fixing the Update Readiness issues). Updates for things like Malicious Software Removal tool, Office updates, Silverlight Updates, and so forth have installed
with no issues. Just major Critical OS related / IE related / .Net related updates fail (and not just these particular ones from today's errors, but the previous versions of these same monthly roll-up types).
