I think I may have originally posted in the wrong area. I'm going to try this one again:
Hi all. New to the forum and I'm really hoping to find my answer here! After having looked at many similar posts, I think I may need some customized help if someone out there is willing to provide it.
I have inherited my husband's computer recently and have been catching up on all of the updates he has neglected to install. I have not been able to install SP1 on this computer. Currently running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
Attempts to install SP1 has resulted in the cursed "invalid parameter 0x80070057" error code after the install fails.
I have attempted the following so far (not necessarily in this order):
Microsoft's help site:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...ate-components, which resulted in several .dll s not cooperating. See
Dropbox - regsvr32.docx for my results. Not sure if this is the root of the problem and I don't know how to go about fixing these issues. All Google searches do not give me much confidence in fixing .dlls on my own. No attempts to fix these errors directly have been made.
Attempted to install under a clean boot. No good. same invalid parameter 0x80070057 installation failure.
Ran sfc /scannow with NO ERRORS FOUND :)
Ran System Update Readiness Tool and found the following:
Dropbox - SP1 fix (this is my checkSUR log).
Since the checkSUR log items seem to be associated with Avast, I have tried the Avast repair tool within the program - the SUR errors remained. Completely uninstalling it and running SUR - the SUR errors remained. I have since reinstalled Avast and am currently running their free version.
I have scanned for viruses and Malware, all clean.
I have run CCleaner and fixed all found registry errors.
I have run SFCfix.exe and here is the SFCfix.txt log
