Install before SP2 system update readiness tool - KB973540 failed code 80073712

I want to install Service Pack 2 and get the answer I need to install the update for Vista 32 system preparation tools before installing SP2.

When you perform on Vista 32 system update readiness tool - I get notice of low load failed with code KB973540 failing 80073712.  This error code description say "ERROR SXS CORRUPT COMPONENT STORE - the component store is in an unstable state".

I used the article knowledge base Microsoft support using the method 1 and 2 to fix this, I always get failed code 80073712.

I closed all programs and I checked my list of blocked programs before trying to download, still no download and even failed code 80073712.

On method 3 is where I need to reinstall Vista.  I'd rather not do this because of the penalty to restore all my files and programs.  It would take me weeks restore all these files, I have 24 websites with different settings and many files on each.  Is there an easier way to fix my problem of code failed or an easy way to restore my programs and files?

  • Failing to download the system update readiness tool

    Separated from this thread.

    Hi, I tried to download the system update readiness tool, but happens to end with

    Gateway Timeout

    The proxy server has not received a quick response from the upstream server.

    Reference #1.a7643e17.1459430176.e41259

    or similar on both the 64-bit Windows 7 machine that I am trying hard and machine controlled work Windows 8 that certainly shouldn't be malicious software.

    Best regards, Michael.

    Thanks Gerry, I went through a couple more cycles of running the tool for troubleshooting Windows Update and reboot.  Ithen left to 'check updates' during the night and in the morning he had downloaded and installed the missing updates.  I don't know if there was a more general problem with Microsoft's servers yesterday or if it's just that I was too impatient for something to happen, but I'm now safely on Windows 10.  Thanks for your interest.  Best regards, Michael.

  • System Update Readiness Tool Vista installation error - error: "the parameter is incorrect."

    I have a virtual machine running Vista. I need to update with the SP1 and SP2 for Vista and the VS SP1.

    I have downloaded and saved the 3, but when I tried to install SP1 for Vista I got an error that says I need to run the Vista system update tool. I downloaded the analysis tool, but when I tried to install it on the virtual machine is a mistake here:

    "The parameter is incorrect."

    There was no error number.

    [It is ironic to get an error during the installation of software that is supposed to fix the errors of installation...]

    What should I do now?

    Hi MeProgrammer,

    Temporarily disable the antivirus software on the computer as a test and try to install the update and check if this is useful to fix the problem.

    If disabling the antivirus software works, then you need to configure the same so that it does not disturb. Please contact the software vendor for assistance in this regard.

    Warning

    Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Additionally, make sure that you download and install the correct version (32-bit or 64-bit) system from the link below for Windows Vista Update Readiness Tool:

    Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947821

    In addition, I recommend you check the following logs for more information:

    %SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log
    %SystemRoot%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log

    You can run scanning of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer which will replace missing or corrupt files & try to install the stand-alone update package.

    For more information, you can consult the following link.

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Method 2:

    After you run the analysis, you can try to download and install the standalone update package.

    a. to download updates from the Microsoft Download Center

    b. Enter the item number in the field search and download the same.

    c. double-click on the downloaded file.

    d. click on run and follow the wizard to install it.

    I don't understand exactly how errors in the two newspapers are related, but my opinion is that, if I can solve my CheckSUR.log errors, CBS.log errors will disappear to, and then I might even be able to install SP1.

    Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

     

    1 person needs an answer

    For what is interesting, what I ended up doing to solve my problems was to re - install Vista with the 'upgrade' option, so I don't lose any of my files or desktop settings...

    After that, I had a few problems with my OS reinstalled with several (80 +) updates, SP1 and SP2 from catching up.  But overall these problems were minor compared to it, that I lived just to fix some missing files.

  • Why update readiness tool takes so long to install

    I downloaded Update Readiness Tool to solve a problem of update.
    the download went well, initialization went well, the installation seems to be hung at about 3/4 of the way through.
    Is this normal?

    Thanks for the help

    Hi DONDI001

     

    System update readiness tool takes a long time to settle. I suggest you to wait for a while and check if installation is complete

     

    But if the problem persists for a longer time, then you can check in a clean boot state. To perform the clean boot follow step 1 mentioned in the article below, and then try again check in the clean boot state -

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If the problem is resolved check which service non-Microsoft is the source of the problem; referring to article and following the other steps.

     When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    b. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

    c. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    I hope this helps.

    When I tried to run 5.06 TVSU I got an error message at 10% of the scanning process, which TVSU could not complete the process of scanning to see if there were updates available.  After many attempts to find the updates, I uninstalled TVSU 5.06 thinking that he may be damaged.  Then I downloaded TVSU 5.06 and proceeded again to install TVSU.  After crossing the guests received the following message is displayed:

    "(Installation) Wizard was interrupted before system update Lenovo could be completely installed."  Your system has not been changed, to install this program at a later time, please run the installation again'

    How can I get my TVSU re installed and cross the above error message?

  • The ThinkVantage System update cause video to fail again T61

    It is a sporadic problem and can't just to the probably of the machines from 1 to 10, but it happens nonetheless. I was imaging a significant amout of T61, and part of the cleaning is to run the Thinkvantage system update utility. Updates only I have installed are up-to-date XP, ann RL/updates to update and the update of the BIOS. The last time I ran the updates on a machine, they are ones I installed:

    -Updated Help Center

    -Q934205 XP

    -Q910728 XP

    -Q917332 XP

    -Q941880 XP

    -Q918837 XP

    -Q889816 XP

    -Q923293 XP

    -Intel LAN 11abgn, abg, bg, for Windows 2000/XP

    -Intel Pro/1000 Lan

    -Updated the Director presentation

    -Features video Thinkpad

    -Update the BIOS

    -Adobe Flash Update

    On some machines, when I run updates and reboot, the video breaks down and I have to enter safe mode, back the video driver, then out to the Lenovo downloads and download the latest video and it works. Strange, huh? I do not always install the video features of Thinkpad, I just did on the last machine I've updated to try to recreate the issue, but have not yet been successful. I'll try the MS KB but thought I would try to post everything here first and see if everyone is seen/had this problem.

    Let me know if you need more information

    Thank you

    -Tyler

    Correction of the problem. I don't know how many people this would apply to the. I was setup machine to another when the question that's happened, but I copied the updates until I installed them. I installed 3 (Q923293, Q934205 and Q941880) and reboot, the video has failed. I looked at the edits, and Q941880 was the only one who had to do with the video. I restored on installed upgrading until (Q934205, I think) and viola! It worked. So, if anyone has this problem, he could have to patch XP-Q941880, so either roll back to before installation, or restore your video driver and install the last being directly from Lenovo.com.

    See you soon

  • Impossible to install Vista SP2, says needs update of system tool

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit edition with Service Pack 1.  His ability to perform automatic and manual, updates have not completely.  When I try to update, it tells me that I need what is called a system update tool.  The Download Center Windows says I need Service Pack 2 to use this tool.  But when I tried to install Service Pack 2, it failed, saying he needs the system update tool.

    Is there a solution to this problem?  Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.  I ran virus and malware scanners, are looking for things that can interfere with the update process, defragmented my hard drive and cleaned the registry.  What other options are available?
