Windows 7 embedded fails to install cumulative updates

[AimarPL]

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with W7 embedded installing cumulative updates.
Tried sfc, dism and sfcfix - no errors shown atm.



Update installation fails with code 80070643.

Hello and welcome!

Please attach C:\Windows\Inf\setupapi.dev.log.

 

[AimarPL]

sure thing, here it is:
setupapi.dev.log.zip

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

What update are you trying to install?

 

[AimarPL]

KB4524157
2019-10 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows Embedded Standard 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4524157)

Also tried with 2019-03 and 2019-05 etc, all of them fail the same way

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Is your Windows Installer service running?

 

[AimarPL]

it's set to manual startup type and not started at the moment

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Please start it and retry updates.

 

[AimarPL]

it was doing a rollback again, but now update is in "pending" state... whatever it means.

Thank you. Please do the following:

Step#1 - FRST Fix
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Download the attached fixlist.txt and save it to the Desktop.
Note. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work (in this case...the desktop).
3. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
4. Press the Fix button just once and wait. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
5. When finished FRST64 will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post the contents of it in your reply.

Note: Your computer may restart several times during the process.

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Just informatively, since Win7 support is ending very soon, would you like to try and switch to Windows 10?

 

[AimarPL]

unfortunately, can't
it's W7 embedded and it has some unique license keys

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

That should not interfere with the upgrade if the software you are using (have licenses for) is compatible.
