Cannot update Windows 7 - Spinstall.exe resettlement?

Yesterday, I tried to update Windows 7 to the new Service Pack, but failed. An error window appears as says "the program cannot start (spinstall.exe) because sqmapi.dll is missing on your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.  What is a real error or a virus? If true, does anyone know how to reinstall the spinstall.exe or file missing sqmapi.dll?

Ignore the title, perhaps a repair installation-

    Hello

    Check your level of service current pack...

    • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
    • Examine what is listed in the system: section

    If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28

    .. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2.

    Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

    For both of the above, you can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.

    So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.

  • Cannot update Windows / / Windows think that its true / / Windows Explorer crash

    BACK STORY: Windows told me that my old HDD is faulty and I need to replace it. I therefore created a system disk image and restore the HARD drive fault and buy a new. I have restored my image for the new HARD drive, and apparently some of the system files that got copied have been corrupted.

    I'll HAVE PROBLEMS: The main problem I encounter is that windows will not update. I'll go to the start menu and try to choose windows update and it will sit in the windows Explorer screen blank until it crashes. This is the only time that windows Explorer will crash it's fine otherwise. If I have correctly interpreted my read, inability to update windows is caused by the software is is not authentic. Which brings me to the next point.
    Windows don't think that it is authentic, even if I see the CDKEY in the system information window and when I hit "Activate Windows" in the search bar in the start menu, that it says "Activation was successful." I get a window saying: http://imgur.com/OQlZDhR I thought that I humor the system and try and validate it although this Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/DownloadValidationSupport.aspx?displaylang=en when I try and install the software Validation of Windows, I get this error: http://imgur.com/8lb0abR 
    TECHNICAL issues: I bought my computer from a major retailer with Windows Vista, he came with an OS disk. I've then upgraded to Windows 7 a few months after it is released and subsequently lost the installation disk that really means nothing because it is not the full operating system. So, indeed, I have no way to find my drive upgrade for windows reinstall/repair, which is what I would have done originally.
    What I DID: I ran the command " Sfc/scannow " to the command window and he returned with: http://imgur.com/OD6WygE when I try and access the .log for this, he tells me access denied and I can't access the safe my life.
    QUESTION: Is there something I can do to fix this? Something like a Windows download different difficulty tool or something else that I don't know who's going to help me fix the windows before going outside and by a new Windows 7 disc to repair the files?
    Thank you for your time

  • Cannot update Windows Media Player security update

    I tried to download a book from library using Overdrive and it wouldn't work.  He said that I needed to update the Media Security Update window.  I did and I said OK to download the file, it gave me a message saying "a security upgrade is required to play this file. You want to download this update? "I said yes and he gave me a message stating:"the date of the certificate is invalid or has expired"the only option was to close or web assistance.  Help Web lacked all of the solutions and close terminated the option and left me in the same situation as before.  Any ideas on how I can get past this so I can down load books from library.

    I got windows 7 ultimate. I am not able to update on this subject. When I go to start-> windows update-> I get the following message "windows update cannot check for updates because updates on this computer are controlled by your system administrator.

    If anyone knows what the problem is or is no fix for it? xdesx

    Try to run Windows Update manually again now. I have seen some indications that something was temporarily horked on the end of Microsoft recently & it is now fixed elsewhere. YMMV, of course.

    There are no other options to fix the problem that caused Microsoft with the update. I tried to do a restore but it then cause a problem which made the player doesn't do not not the CD to record the right as he said that I had to get the new drivers that microsft does not automatically download drivers when they remove them in this process.
