[Win7SP1 x64] Four Failing Updates

sonicblis · Mar 8, 2017

I'm running windows 7 Ultimate (Build 7601: Service Pack 1).

I have four imporant updates that refuse to install:

KB3004375
KB3031432
KB3068708
KB3080149

I've run the windows update fix tool provided by MS and I've tried each update individually. When trying the last update (KB3080149), I also watched the CBS.log and found the following error:

Code:

Failed to resolve package 'Package_49_for_KB3061518~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.0'

I looked in the registry and confirmed a key with that KB reference did not exist. I tried to download the referenced KB3061518, but when I ran it, it said that the update did not apply to my machine (I think it was x86 instead of x64). I then ran the tool created here and found no corruptions. I also ran it with a .txt file referencing the missing package as such:

Code:

FileScan::
Package_49_for_KB3061518~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.0.cat
Package_49_for_KB3061518~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.0.mum

But nothing was found. I've uploaded my zipped CBS directory (CBS.zip - Google Drive) and here are the results of the autoscan.

Code:

SFCFix version 3.0.0.0 by niemiro.
Start time: 2017-03-08 18:06:03.876
Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1 - amd64
Not using a script file.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Four Failing Updates

Update #4 KB3080149 from August 2015 only needs to be installed if an update from June 2015 KB3022345 was installed and when sfc /scannow was run, gave false reports of errors.
Check if you installed 3022345 in June 2015. If you did not, you don't need item #4. (I did not install the June 2015 update so my notes indicate I did not need to install the Aug. update).

As far as item #3, this is optional and can be hidden. My notes say I hid it.
Here is more information on it The truth about Windows 7 and 8.1 'spy patches' KB 3068708, 3022345, 3075249, 3080149 | InfoWorld

I have four computers running Windows 7 in the house. Two are 32 bit and two are 64 bit. Three run Home Premium and one runs Pro. I did the above to all four computers - namely I did not install either of those updates.

Hopefully a true expert will post and help you install items #1 and 2 from February 2015.
