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.

  • Run-time error of update (KB947821) system preparation tool

    I have a Compaq running Vista 32 bit (x 86) system.  I have noticed lately that have been without Microsoft Updates, and check history, it lasts for quite awhile.  Updates failed with error 606.  I looked at a proposed fix and the answer seems to be the update of the system (implemented as KB947821) tool.  I tried to download this and running, but the green progress bar is is stuck about 80% (I left it for an hour).  I did some checking and the storage on my computer using Norton 360 and System Mechanic.  Then I tried to download the system update readiness tool again. This time, the green progress bar never even began.  So now I'm stuck - I can't implement Microsoft Updates and the only solution I can find does not work.  Everyone falls on this and can suggest a solution?

  • 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.

  • My coupon code for my free upgrade says that it is not valid.

    I bought the Design Premium Creative Suite 5.5 in the time limits for the free update and received an email telling me what to do, but when I click on the link, it tells me 'Code promotional invalid in this store.' I bought the student/teacher edition, so it's in Adobe for education - Bank of America, but I read all the fine print and he said that those who were included in this promotion, receive email first. Following the directions, I added the upgrade to my cart and it remained the full price to upgrade.

    No idea why it won't let me have my update?

    I used a different browser I had not spent on the Adobe site with and got through that the use of the commercial bank. Otherwise it is not actually allows you to change the store, because he gets everything right whenever you bought if, regardless of if you are connected or not.

  • BDX4350KB Wifi adapter and firmware upgrade doesn't work do not

    It is a sequel to my earlier question about if the WLM-20U2 Wifi adapter will work in my blu - ray player.

    After buying the adapter I plugged it and a message 'not supported', if I tried to connect wireless it says there was no an adapter connected.

    So I assumed that this necessary upgrade, so I formatted a 1 Gb USB drive with the FAT file system, downloaded the file level (version 39 http://www.dl.toshiba.com/player/NA/GB/EN/BDX4350KB.html) and copied the file .bin on the USB.

    When I plugged into the player and said to check the disk for a file to update it tells me that "frontend file is not found"... There was only one file to download, and it wasn't in a folder so I guess I'm supposed to just copy that file on the USB drive.

    I checked the USB port with a memory stick with photos on and it works fine.

    How to get the upgrade to work in the hope that it will enable the wifi adapter to work?

    Thank you

  • I have XP Professional on my Dell. It appears to load and run the SYSTEM RESTORE, but does not restore to a different date. How can I fix it?

    I have Windows XP Professional on my Dell E-310. I got a VIRUS episode 2 weeks ago
    and NOW my PC will NOT be reset to a previous RESTORE POINT using System Restore.
    Any Suggestions?

    Spybot SD resident and professional SAS are not enough.

    If you have been affected by malicious software, the best way to get help is by identifying. Bleeping Computer has created guides large removal on their site, for Trojan horses, etc. (I hope so, Debbie C think not I just spammed forum, which goes against the "Code of conduct").

    Once you get all set (and may require a clean install), you must make sure that you have all the latest Micorosft XP patches security installed. In addition, a quality anti-virus program like Microsoft Security Essentials or Avira AntiVir (both free) are essential (hope that is not considered spam, either).

  • The error that says "this application has failed to start because sqlite3.dll (also sqlite3.prepare.v2) was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    These messages appear, one after another, at startup.

    Something you have running at Windows startup that uses SQLite is a failure. Find out what this program is (so you can stop it) by managing your Startup:

    Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

    This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

    Important - do not use the System Configuration utility to stop the process. Use rather Start > Run > services.msc [Enter] and stop all services unless you really, really know what you're doing.

  • How can I uninstall creative cloud? (Usual uninstall and Adobe Creative Cloud cleaning tool do not work)

    Hello world!

    I'm VERY angry with anything that does not work on my computer with Adobe, and everything appears to be from a missing or wrong creative cloud installation.

    I downloaded the latest installer from the program and started it. Initially he installed the creative cloud, but the program does not work as required. Its opening, but then everything that happened was the blue cycle cycling for an eternity of loading and nothing happened. Then I uninstalled it. This also does not work properly; While running the uninstall program, a message came up saying "Uninstall completed with failures" (translated roughly, a German written here). However, the defect was that it has not been uninstalled at all.

    A few hours later I somehow uninstalled, I tried to reinstall it. Runned the installer - suddenly it closes while downloading data. I looked upward, the data that I deleted were in the folder again, but it seems that it was not installing right, that there are no shortcuts in the start menu. I tried ALL of the executable to open files in the directory of creative cloud with administrator permissions, almost all compatibility modes... None of that worked, the programs did not start somehow.

    So I came to Adobe Creative Cloud cleaning during the fault finding tool. So I tried with this results (the event log, I removed the license agreements):

  • Get the error 800b0100 and 8007065E on two updates failed...

    .. and the system preparation tool I have download did nothing to remedy. The updates are:

    Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server Update...

    Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2347290)

    I'm having trouble with this. Is there a way to fix what I can understand, some of these fixes are so complicated and and beyond my skill level.

    Thanks for any help!

  • Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool not doing anything to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

    original title: WHY Windows Update keep up to date USELESS of Windows Defender and installation USELESS malware remover?

    I'm a computer technician who makes a TON of virus remove money from Windows computers.  Two-thirds of my tasks of repair involving the elimination of viruses from Windows and trying to fix the Internet Explorer, the worst browser known to humanity.

    I have a question about Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool.  These are two programs entirely worthless, evidenced by the fact that computers with them installed still get infected of all viruses, Trojan and rootkit out there.  Clearly, if these two programs of malware Microsoft has done anything to protect your computer, it would have been without having to release still a THIRD tool antivirus, "security essentials" for Microsoft.   I'm not complaining — the way Microsoft Windows absorbs malware like a sponge, put a lot of money in my bank account. Please keep doing what you're doing... however...

    My question is, given that Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool doing nothing to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

    Windows defender is not an antivirus program, it is designed to protect against spyware.

    If you don't like them, so do not use them.

  • BitLocker Drive preparation tool - fail

    Hello

    So, I try to activate bitlocker on my laptop drive encryption, which is already running Vista Ultimate x 86.  I was not initially intended, and I knew that if I wanted to later, I could allagedly use the Bitlocker Drive preparation tool, so I built it with a single partition.

    Now, I want to activate bitlocker, so I downloaded the drive preparation tool, but I when I run it, I get the following error:

    "The bitlocker Drive Preparation Tool cannot find a system of target drive.  You may need to manually prepare your drive for BitLocker. »

    So I search and find this article kb http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933246

    I tried to manually specify the system drive by running the command line: ' BdeHdCfg.exe - target: shrink - newdriveletter x: - size 1500-quiet - restart ", but she just runs for a few seconds and then returns to the command prompt, so I check the event log and find an entry under the logs event observer, applications and services, Microsoft, Bitlocker DrivePreparationTool, Admin and found events (event error 1 id) similar to what I saw in the GUI of not find a system drive.  Under the operational event folder, I found event ID 4104, "a volume did not meet the requirements for a target volume. Volume: C: reason: impossible to reduce the target volume of the requested size. "

    So in the above article, my error message with certain proposed resolutions: "temporarily disable the hibernation option and disk paging. Then, use the Windows preinstallation environment to remove the file Hiberfil.sys and Pagefile.sys file. Restart the computer in Windows Vista. Then run the BitLocker Drive preparation tool. "OR"reinstall Windows Vista. »

    So of course, I tried the first suggestion, disabling hibernation using "powercfg-h" off and delete the hiberfil.sys file, disabled a swap under System properties file and deleted the "pagefile.sys" and restarted.

    Always the same error :(

    Is the second action plan 'Reinstall Windows Vista' serious?  I want to activate the drive encryption, should not be this hard.  I don't think that requiring people to reinstall just because an application cannot function in a reasonable way to be an excuse...

    Hi benneh,.

    In the article you posted there are two different scenarios listed that could cause the error message:

    "The bitlocker Drive Preparation Tool cannot find a system of target drive.  You may need to manually prepare your drive for BitLocker. »

    In your post you referenced scenario 2 and the steps you took to solve it, but you reference scenario1 which is as follows:

    Scenario 1: You do not have enough free disk space to "at least 10 percent of the active partition must remain free after the partition size is reduced by 1.5 gigabytes (GB). To resolve this error, move the files to another partition or delete files. »

    Just to be sure that it is not the reason for your question; After subtracting the reduction in size of 1.5 GB for your total hard drive space always need it the 10 percent of free space on the active partition?  Please let us know.  Thank you.
