Hi

Wndows update problem with Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.
Windows update produced errors and SFC /scannow identified errors it could not fix so I decided to do a repair install. All went well but towards the end of endless windows updates I got a couple of updates that would not install error 643
SFC /scannow showed no errors
SFCfix detected no corruptions
I tried a stand alone install but that failed as well
Log files are attached. How do I poroceed?
Thanks in advance

Hello and welcome,

Attach the file C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CbsPersist_20200705020052.cab to your next reply.
 
Step 1:
Post the logfile C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log as attachment in your next reply.
Note: if the file is too big to upload to your next reply please upload via a service such as Filedropper or One Drive or SendSpace and just provide the download link.

Step 2:
Download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:
32-bit: Downloading Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

Right-click to run the tool as administrator. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
Note: Ensure that the Addition.txt check box is checked at the bottom of the form within the Optional Scan area.
Press the Scan button.
Please wait for the tool to finish. It will produce two logfiles called FRST.txt and Addition.txt in the same directory the tool is run from (which should be the desktop)
Post the logfiles FRST.txt and Addition.txt as attachment in your next reply.
 
Ive just (Tue 07/07/2020 22:58) had a message asking for the files I already posted in the message above (@ 10:30 am 7/7/20200)?
Is this a duplicate or something?
 
Is this a duplicate or something?
Probably, I asked only ones.

Step 1:
Uninstall following programs:
  • Advanced System Optimizer
  • Java 8 Update 31
  • Java 8 Update 45

Step 2:
Install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
Let me know if it says it was successful or if there are any errors.
 
ASO said it wasn't there, Msg "remove from list of programs" (Y)
A scan revealed ASO-System Protector_startup in Tasks\ so I deleted that

31 and 45 went quietly

I have previously tried .Net (4.8 I think) but installation failed
Unsurprisingly 4.5 failed as well - log file attached

NetfxRepairTool said

Reregister Windows Installer service
Unregisters and re-registers the Windows Installer service using MsiExec.exe.

Restart Windows Installer service
Stops and restarts the Windows Installer service. Applicable regardless of the diagnosis results.

I did that and tried dotnet4.5 again and it failed again.

NetfxRepairTool then suggests repairing dotnet 4.8 (The install of 4.8 failed as mentioned in my originqal post so I am unclear why there is anything to repair!!)
This reported repaired OK try reinstalling
but of course that doesn't work. Tthe error is
"Details
Same or higher version of .NET Framework 4.5 has already been installed on this computer."

Little point in sending the log so I thought I'd go back and have another go at installing the windows updates
Windows update says updates have never been checked or installed
Eventually it find one (KB2319138)
That installed OK but it says there are more updates
On searching says there are no important updates

So it looks like its fixed and was mostly to do with the failed dotnet 4.8 install/

I will reboot and search again but thanks for your help
 
On restart i received a pop up tellng me windows had recovered form a BSOD
