Unable to run .Net updates on Server 2008 R2

[aRandomTech]

Good Afternoon,

I'm troubleshooting a machine:

Server 2008 R2 SP1

SFC /SCANNOW = Clean
Windows Update Readiness Tool = Fails to install


SFCFix Tool = No corruptions found.

CBS Folder zipped and attached.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi!

Please try installing .NET Framework 4.8 from the offline installer and let me know what happens: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2088631

Thanks for your quick reply.

That failed.

Hi!

Is your Windows Installer Service up and running? If not, please start it up.

Service WAS running.

Restarted service and attempted .net 4.8 install again.

Failed again. Same error.

Currently doing a pending monthly security roll-up as a sanity check.
Will respond with results.

Any further suggestion for .Net in the mean time is appreciated.

EDIT: Monthly Roll-up also FAILS. Issue appears to be broader than just .net. I apologize for not having a complete view of the issue.

Please attach CBS.log after the failed rollup.

Please do the following:

Step#1 - Capture Process Monitor Trace
1. Download and run Process Monitor. Leave this running while you perform the next steps.
2. Try updating the system just like you have in the past.
3. Stop Process Monitor as soon as it fails. You can simply do this by clicking the magnifying glass on the toolbar as shown below.

4. Select the File menu...Save... and save the file to your desktop. This is likely the default location. The name (unless changed) will be LogFile.PML. This is fine.
5. Zip up and provide the link to the LogFile.PML file as well as your CBS.log Examples of services to upload to are Dropbox or OneDrive or SendSpace.

I'm sorry for the delay.

After multiple attempts at the Windows roll-ups, they succeeded.

So now I'm only left with .Net updates/installs pending and they continue to fail.

Below is the ProcMon logs and CBS log that took place during that failed update.

Can you please let me know what is the KB number of the update you are trying to install and what is the currently installed version of .NET Framework?

 

[aRandomTech]

Currently installed .Net = 4.6.1

KB Failing = KB4041083

Let me know which install successfully.

 

[aRandomTech]

#1 - Already Installed
#2 - Failed
#3 - Already Installed

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Try 2 again and attach CBS.log after it fails.

Note:

It did not appear that the timestamp on the CBS.log file changed from beginning the install and it failing.

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.
