Hi,

I’m trying to install WMF 5.1 (Win7AndW2K8R2-KB3191566-x64) in order to update PowerShell – PowerShell 2.0 for now.
Most of the time, I get stuck at the “initializing installation” step, the furthest I got was about three quarters on the install progress bar, without knowing why.
I restored my Windows 7 to a state prior to the first attempt, only to have the same issue. I also tried to install WMF 4.0 (Windows6.1-KB2819745-x64-MultiPkg), but with no success.

1) The sfc /scannow command gave an OK result.
2) SFCFix is also OK, although the first time I ran it, something got wrong:

SFCFix version 3.0.2.1 by niemiro.
Start time: 2022-06-04 20:10:55.342
Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1 - amd64
Not using a script file.

AutoAnalysis::
SUMMARY: No corruptions were detected.
AutoAnalysis:: directive completed successfully.

Successfully processed all directives.

Failed to generate a complete zip file. Upload aborted.

SFCFix version 3.0.2.1 by niemiro has completed.
Currently storing 0 datablocks.
Finish time: 2022-06-04 20:20:05.559

3) My CBS logfiles are available here.

Thanks.
 
Hello,

Sorry for the delay.

Boot your computer into a Clean Boot state following these instructions: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
After that, check Windows Update, do not install any updates yet but provide a screenshot of the available important updates.
 
Hi!

As the provided link no longer has the Windows 7 instructions, I followed the ones here, I hope it’s alright: How to perform a clean boot in Windows

After running Windows Update under Clean Boot state, I get the following message: “No important updates available”.
Regarding important updates, I should mention that I have KB971033 under my hidden updates.

Thanks.
 
Open an elevated command prompt.
Copy and paste the following command into it, then press enter.

Code: 
copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log "%userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt"
This will create a file called cbs.txt on your desktop. Zip this file and attach the zipped cbs.txt to your next post.
 
Attach the file C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CbsPersist_20220727140612.cab to your next reply.
 
Some errors are caused by insufficient system resources.
What type of machine is this, brand and model ?
Are you running a lot of programs ?
How much memory is installed ?
Are you using Windows 7 legitimately ?
 
I assembled this machine 12 years ago, and bought a Windows 7 Ultimate license at the same time.
I currently have 16 GB of RAM (CPU: i7-860); most of the time it’s using around 6 GB. But I’m regularly running some virtual machines and other programs that slow things up. However, when it comes to Windows Update or any installation, I tend to close those resource-hungry programs.

For instance, as I write this message:

Physical Memory (MB)
Total 16382
Cached 6552
Available 10764
Free 4491

Could those insufficient system resources errors have something to do with my current issue?
 
Restart the machine.
Try to install KB2819745 only and report the result.
If it fails attach the file cbs.log as zipped to your next reply.
 
No, when in Normal mode.
 
The installation of KB2819745 has been completed; it took several hours but it worked. It was, of course, not the first time I waited several hours for the process to finish… I don’t understand why it worked this time, but that’s a given.
The status is successful under update history.
For confirmation, this is the result of the $PSVersionTable.PSVersion command:

Major Minor Build Revision
----- ----- ----- --------
4 0 -1 -1
 
Great. Try to install KB3191566 only and report the result.
If it fails attach the file cbs.log as zipped to your next reply.
 
The update was successful; $PSVersionTable.PSVersion result:

Major Minor Build Revision
----- ----- ----- --------
5 1 14409 1005

I had tried numerous times, and I assure you I had waited hours and hours, but it was always stuck.
Is it possible that going temporarily in a Clean Boot state, thanks to you, reset something messy in my startup, knowing I was first in selective startup for both system services and startup items?
(Yet, I had re-enabled some services via services.msc before seeking help.)
Would there be any other explanation?

Anyway, thanks a lot for your time, without your help, I would still be stuck with PowerShell 2.0.
It is greatly appreciated.

Could be as we actually did not fix anything. The clean-boot and/or the system restart may have fixed the out-of-resources issue.

Your welcome.
I will mark this thread as solved.

Take care.
