Brian,
The issue is important for my business, and the requirement is to update to SP1 on the Windows 7 machine.
I have an identical machine, so I have decided to clone the OS, so that I have two machines both with the same issue as clones.
- I would like to then attempt the replacement / repair of system files and manifests, if which I am confident that although lengthy, I can undertake.
If the attempt is successful, I will either undertake same process on the 2nd clone machine, or if time, then update the clone to Windows 10 in order to test its stability and usefulness in the work I undertake.
- It might be possible with the cloning method, to actually try a Windows 10 install on the clone machine, and I hope to start cloning later today.
- Easus ToDo Backup seems to be suitable for this procedure

Brian, would you or any other user of this forum be willing to walk me through the repair sequence, in which I can undertake.
Brian, I have just tried to run the manual SP1 file "windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe" as I did previously, but now I am getting a new message. I hope it is not because of my tinkering previously, the new message reads
Error: ERROR_APP_WRONG_OS(Ox8007047f)
I can assure you, that my OS is x64 on an Intel i5 and that this installer worked without this error but instead the 0x800b0100 error previously.
- The only changes I made previously were the "update.cat" file and "update.mum" file which I extracted from KB978601 and renamed to the following
Code:
(f) CBS MUM Corrupt 0x800F0900 servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Security-WindowsActivationTechnologies-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~7.1.7600.16395.mum Line 1:

I would be happy, if you or someone here is, to attempt the steps for repair?
Kind regards,
John
