  • Vista - Error Code: 9370001 (could not install the system preparation tool)

    I get an error code 9370001 ever time I try to update my home premium 32-bit systememember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Try to download and install manually by download on your desktop and install them one by one. Insert the number of KB to get updates on the right and choose the one corresponding to your version of Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.

    If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  Disable your security software.  Then try the updates again. Once this is done (if it worked) don't forget to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  • The system update tool

    Use of the system after installation update tool?  It does not appear to have solved the problem with security download errors... very frustrating and tedious grrrrr!

    Hello Vespamama,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    After you download the system update tool, it runs a unique analysis of inconsistencies that might prevent future maintenance operations. This tool is only offered by Windows Update only if you have a problem that the tool identifies that it can fix.

    What kind of error you see which should be fixed with the system update readiness tool? Maybe there's another fix to your question.

    Following error codes are those who can fix the system preparation tool:

    0 x 80070002

    0x8007000D

    0x800F081F

  • KB2442962, KB982214 and KB2345886 updates fail in code 800b0100 and 8007065E. Upgrade system preparation tool does not resolve. Windows Update Troubleshooter does not solve.

    Hello. I recently acquired a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium x 64. At first startup, I ran Windows update. As usual, a large number of updates have been downloaded and installed. Reboot, Windows update run and failed with the failure of the code 800b0100 and 8007065E. By clicking on the error codes led to a suggestion that 800b0100 could be solved by downloading and running the "System Update Readiness Tool" (KB947821). The help text for 8007065E says nothing useful.

    I have downloaded and run the tool preparation system update, but after that Windows Update has failed once again.

    Deselecting all individual updates but I finally managed to get everything except three to install. The other three are KB2442962, KB982214 and KB2345886.

    I ran the system update tool several times.

    I ran the "Windows Update Troubleshooter". He noted that he has made no changes to the system.

    I downloaded the updates individually and run them manually.

    They do not always succeed.

    Grateful for any suggestion.

    Hey, Marc P

    Thanks a lot for your offer to help. If I had checked this thread earlier I would have taken you to this topic.

    However after trying various other ineffective solutions proposed by MS supports (such as installation of downloads in 'safe mode', which produces the error message "this service cannot be started in safe mode") I ended up doing a reinstall instead of the BONE. That fixed it.

    Thanks for all your attempts to help.

  • Cannot install Windows Vista updated system preparation tool

    I downloaded the update for Vista 32 bit system preparation tool, but when the program tries to install after initialization, the installation progress bar never appears, the installation seems to just "hang" and do nothing.  I tried to cancel the installation, but the program seems stuck, I use the Task Manager to cancel the installation.  I wonder why the tool cannot install on my PC after downloading.

    Hi mlzla,

    I hope you do well.

    No, if you do an upgrade on the spot, you will lose any program. The on-site upgrade process will take around an hour or two. It is very useful.

    I hope this information is useful.

  • How to fix - error 80073712 - windows component store is corrupt - after correctly installing the system update tool for windows vista.

    I get the error code 80073712 - windows component store is damaged - when you try to install windows vista SP1 and also the Cumulative security update to explore 7 (KB978207). Fails every time.

    I followed the advice and installed the system update tool for Windows Vista (does this twice), but still cannot download and install updates - get error 80073712.

    How can I fix the corrupted windows components store?

    Thank you

    Dan

    CMDC,
    If the SFC was not able to repair files then the best thing to do is to reinstall Windows.  You can try running a disk error check, if it fixes all of the problems, and then rerun the SFC and then install and run the System Update tool.  If there is still a problem with the SFC nto be able to complete then you should do a reinstall.

  • I ran the system analysis tool and without result updates still won't work.

    * Original title: Windows 7 updates

    It seems I'm not the only one having problems with the updates of Windows 7. I ran the system analysis tool and without result updates still won't work. Is it possible miss me a the question .dll file not showing? I googled about it and still nothing.

    Appreciate any info someone might have on this

    Are there specific error messages or error report numbers given when it fails, or is it just apparently running, but does not find anything?

    If it is running, but apparently not finding anything, just leave it for a while 'loooooong. It was reported a few recent Wu take many hours to find anything, esp if she has a lot of updates to find and install.

    If its reports an error/message number, what (exactly) do report?

    Something to try:

    Update your anti-virus software and run a full scan. Then:

    If its doesn't work, check that service 'Windows Update' and 'Background Intelligent Transfer' are listed and running, according to the instructions of the ' how to check if services are running' section of this article - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2730071 IF you have actually the error referred to in article, try the FixIt.

    If WU and BITS services are listed and running, try to reset the Windows Update components - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058

    If still no joy, run the update utility - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter what makes as that report?
