[SOLVED] KB2919355 - Error code 80070002

thelight · May 7, 2014

I am unable to install the KB update. Windows fails with an simple error saying it was unable to install the update.

I am using Windows 8 Pro with Media Center. All other app and Windows updates are installed. CBS log attached as requested.

I've tried a number of suggested fixes for what appears to be quite a common issue with this update, but none have worked.

cheers

Hello

I had a look and that folder did not exist. I assume because I've re-arranged my start menu in the past. Re-created the directory and the update installed perfectly.

Glad to hear it :) Thought it might - but I wasn't sure whether the files or the whole folder was missing.
