Windows 7 Update error 800F0900

[jdg]

This has been happening for awhile. I have tried a few things to no avail and then I found this forum.

I installed the System Update Readiness Tool Hotfix* and attached the files requested in previous threads to see if there is a way to fix this mess.

*I downloaded and ran the file, it installed the hotfix successfully -- I understand this is all that needs to be done and there isn't actually a "program" that needs to be executed?

Ooops, I did not add my CBS log also, I will add.

Thanks in advance! I'm looking forward to getting these updates installed and hopefully they will fix some of the other annoying windows issues I'm having.

So in the meantime, I stopped the update service, deleted the software download directory, and restarted the service.

When I checked for updates, it finds the same missing updates ... but I get the same error when I try to install them

 

[jdg]

I'm still having this problem ... any help please?

Hello jdg, welcome to Sysnative!

I'm so sorry for the delay! There are a very limited number of people who specialise in dealing with these issues and we have very limited availability due to us all being in full time education.

Windows Update Package Replacement

Warning: this fix is specific to the user in this thread. No one else should follow these instructions as it may cause more harm than good. If you are after assistance, please start a thread of your own.

1. Please download the attached file, Packs.zip and save this to your Desktop.
2. Right-click on the file and select Extract All...
3. Tick the box labelled Show extracted files when complete then click Extract
4. A window will open showing two folders, Manifests and Packages
5. Open the Manifests folder and copy the files into the following folder (if there are any files)
   
   C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Winsxs\Manifests
   
   
6. Open the Packages folder and copy the files into the following folder (if there are any files)
   
   C:\Windows\Temp\CheckSur\Servicing\Packages
   
   
7. Run the System Update Readiness Tool (SURT) again.
8. When the SURT finishes installing, copy (Ctrl + C) and paste (Ctrl + V) the contents of the SURT log into your next post please:
   
   C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log

You will probably be shown the error code 0x8024200D after performing this fix, and for anything that does fail with this error code, download the update from the Microsoft website and install it manually.

Thank you Tom! No worries, I appreciate the help! I have updated the files as per #5 and #6 (there were some files I had to overwrite in both cases).

I am now running the SURT tool and will post the log when complete.

Hello jdg,

 Fixed 154 errors

That's what we like to see! How is Windows Update behaving now? You should have a handful of updates failing with 0x8024200D (which I explained in my previous post), but roughly 50% of them should go through with no problems now.
