Windows Update fails Win 7 Enterprise 8007000e 80070003

Install a new copy of company Windows7 32 bit.   Windows Update is running just forever.   I stopped the service and delete the files under the folder C:\windows\softwaredistribution and then restarted the service.  Same result.   I deleted all files in the temp folder and run the FIXIT tool.   The tool FIXIT said repairs performed, but to date 0 x 80070003 not repaired.

This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  • Windows Update fails in Windows 8, Windows 8 running on VM VirtualBox

    Original title: Windows Update failed in Windows 8

    Windows 8 Pro is installed on it; no antivirus, no 3rd party service.  I got the download of Windows 8 students of the MS upgrade because the license I had was for XP OEM.  Their online store said I couldn't go directly to 8.1.  In order to get the cleanest system, that I could get, I reinstalled XP Pro from scratch.  The MS store forces installation of the upgrade of Windows 8 to help them ensure the Download Manager.  Yes, steps up to now:

    (1) install XP OEM

    (2) install all the XP updates

    (3) download and install the upgrade to win 8 using the secure download manager

    (4) apply Windows 8 updates so I can finally get to the 8.1

    It may also be important to note that this facility is running in a VirtualBox VM.  I bought XP OEM disc when I got the laptop (Lenovo T520), but have always run Ubuntu Linux on the host computer.  So my reading on the Windows license is that I have no problem there.  The steps above take the largest part of a full day; so I'm a bit reluctant to reinstall again from scratch.

    Finally, the Windows process update Gets an update to KB2785094 which fails.  I got a few different errors and passed through all stages troubleshooting recommended in the KB and this forum that I could find.  Errors include 80073712 and 8024afff.

    Troubleshooting steps tried:

    (1) run the file system, by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957310 Checker

    (2) attempt to relaunch Windows Update

    (3) run DISM, by the same thing.

    (4) attempt to relaunch Windows Update

    (5) run the Windows Update troubleshooting tool, by http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

    (6) attempt to relaunch Windows Update

    (7) to run this Windows Update utility online by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2714434/en-us

    (8) attempt to relaunch Windows Update

    9) restart in mode "clean boot", by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135/en-us

    It wasn't anything to turn off except the app tray Virtualbox Guest Additions, since it is essentially a new installation

    (10) attempt to relaunch Windows Update

    (11) see the same mistakes over and over again.  8024afff seems to have disappeared, but 80073712 keeps recurring.

    A problem I noticed with the application of the DISM is that article that says: "If your Windows Update client is already broken, use a Windows installation running as the source of the repair, or use a file side-by-side Windows from a network share or removable media, such as the Windows DVD, such as source files. To do this, run the following command instead:

    "DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth/source: C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess.

    Unfortunately, due to the screwy way, Microsoft provides the installation files during the upgrade as I did, I'm not aware of having any source of repair.  If anyone knows where the secure download manager puts installation files that could serve as a source for execution of DISM?  Other other ideas that made the exact same installation and expect a different result (one definition of insanity)?

    Thank you

  • Windows update fails-G62-225DX - bad startup a factory?

    My nephew came to me recently with a G62-225DX HP, concerned about safety.  Given this machine is several years old (recently handed down from his father - I quickly understood why), I was surprised to see she was always being basic Windows 7 Home Premium.  Without SP1.

    My first attempt to resolve this was to run Windows Update - no luck - immediately fails with "cannot run - services is not started.  Of course, verification services, yes I see WU and BITS running.

    So, like any good tech person, I check in the case where the logs and see various errors, including the constant complaints on the Crypto database being corrupted.

    Then, up to be Googling for these symptoms/messages.  I see many people with the same problem and a lot of suggestions on how to fix this (re - reg WU, STRANDS of clear/reset, flush/empty C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, catroot2 flush/empty, etc.).  Even seen one on the Intel hard drive problems due to replace it with a drive of more than 500 GB (this unit still has the original 320).

    Spent hours trying all the suggestions there, especially when people said 'Yes, that fixed', nothing helps.

    Since it was not something of value on this machine, I decide backup and restore "factory".

    Imagine my surprise when, after reset of the image 'factory', it has exactly the same problem - Windows Update fails, out-of-the-box on the right!

    I think to myself, it's crazy.  The machine is faulty from the start and everyone was naïve to not get Windows updates, AT ALL!

    I even decided to try the Windows Update Checker (supposed to perform before installing SP1) and it fails with ' Windows Update Standalone install encountered and error - 0xc80000247 ".

    So, I decided to run through the suggested fixes (from M$, no less) and all of a sudden, that Windows Update works.

    I thought, it's fantastic.  He immediately calls to > 130 fixed critical.

    After a few hours of download and installed, I restart only to get a BSOD - STOP 6 b - AAARRRGGGHHHH!  Tried to go through Windows restore previous checkpoint but that too fails with a mysterious error.  In addition, many Google hits on the 6 b says that it's a hardware problem.  But he was executed until the Windows update, with nothing in the case where newspapers to indicate hardware problems.

    Then, I decided to do a restore from the image of what I started with.  At least it ran, even though she could not be updated.

    I no longer dig and see a bunch of updates to the firmware/software for this machine, including the BIOS.  Even saw some strange 'Windows updates' HP.  I thought maybe it was something like the fiasco when the power management update for Intel processors had on machines AMD, thus paralyzing them!  Still nothing - WU still does not work!

    Tried again to return to the original image, hoping that maybe to install all updates of office/hardware/driver on a virgin machine solve the problem.  Nope-WU still does not work.  Even went back through all the suggested fixed (saved as .bat files everthing).  Nothing, nada...

    So, I'm posting here in hopes that someone has a miracle cure that I missed.

    Hello:

    I don't have a magic bullet...

    The same thing happened to me while working on a friends HP 8100 Elite CMT, Windows 7 Pro, HP original image.

    Would not install SP1 or Windows updates. I tried every trick in the book and after spending more than two hours, going nowhere, including restore from the recovery discs, I decided to install a plain OS W7 clean add drivers myself using the product key for W7 on the PC.

    It has worked well.

    You can do the same thing if you can read the product key of W7 on the bottom of the laptop, and your nephew can't live without programs that was shipped with the PC.

    In addition, if you format the drive and just install W7 on current partition, you can probably find the program of the installation files for the programs supplied with the PC in the SWSetup folder.

    Here's how to do when you don't have installation of W7 media.

    Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a DVD or a 4 GB flash drive using the USB compilation method.

    Use the product key of windows 7 of 25 characters to activate your installation.

    http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below. Download the Windows 7 version that is on your product (Home Premium, professional or ultimate) key to apply.

  • Windows Update: failed. __Code 643 windows Update encountered an unknown error. _ * AND * __I cannot repair Windows 7 with the disc either. My guess is: these issues are related...? __

    I have THREE questions which PEUVENT all be linked togther... What do you think?

    [I am slot as Windows 7 Ultimate (free upgrade to Dell PC w/purchase) on a Dell 64 bit PC XPS435]
    I've upgraded from Vista about 3 weeks ago.

    #1 - Two weeks ago I had a problem with the installation of Nero/LiquidTV-TiVo to my PC... (this is also when the problem started).
    To get the "Nero" thing figured out, I took the advice of someone on the Forum/Blog of Nero. The person has provided a lenghty explanation how to uninstall LiquidTV completely by removing the registry files... I don't really know what I'm doing in the registry, but everything that I helped my problem of Nero, but I couldn't tell you WHAT I deleted OR if I have deleted any bad subfolders or whatnot!... the next time I started my PC is when the NEW NUMBER is right.

    #2 - On my next BOOT, Windows Update has found an IMPORTANT update:

    A security update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 for x 64 systems (KB954430)

    .. .and it fails every time, it tries to install saying this:

    Windows Update - failed

    Code 643 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

    "Get help with this error" provides little or no help... but it says this:
     "WindowsUpdate_00000643" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

    All the research I did, the problem seems to be with Microsoft .NET Framework... .and all the solutions I found talking about it, "UNINSTALL all THE .NET FRAMEWORK & REINSTALL" ... I tried and there is no .NET Frameworks listed in Add/Remove, and when I press on ' VIEW INSTALLED UPDATES'... " on my PC it says, "no updates are installed on this computer"... what the _____?

    #3 - Today, I thought I would just pop the WINDOWS 7 installation disc and do a repair/upgrade... It will not be upgraded.
    He cycles most of the way through, then he Has STOPPED and says this:

    The following problems prevent upgrade Windows. Cancel the upgrade, perform each task, (it lists only a SINGLE task), and then restart the upgrade to continue.

    • Windows needs to be restarted if necessary to system files can be changed before you continue.

      Does not help restart. He tried 3 times and he ends up doing the same thing.
      Is it possible I deleted something out of the register so far here and which is cause of all this?
      If so, is it possible to fix WITHOUT doing a new install of Windows 7?
      OR... anything can be a problem... Please HELP!

      (And please note: I am a first year student college with specialization in computer science... but I just started last semester, so I don't know what I should... yet. - though, I SHOULD have known better than to mess with the registry!) My bad).

      Thanks a lot for your time in advance, and I look forward to hear from you!  VikeMike4

    NB: If you remove the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 by using the tool, reinstall .NET Framework 3.5 will also install .net Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2. Then, Windows Update will offer .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.

    IMPORTANT! =>, If you remove the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, reinstall your version of .NET Framework in the following order:

    1. the .net framework 3.5, then...
    2 .net framework 1.1, then...
    3 .net framework 1.1 SP1

    Thank you for your reply - but the problem persists - this is mopre complete info.
    The system starts well and runs - BUT I cannot now be updated because when I access "Windows Update" it always returns this error message.
    Also, none of the messages in your "appliesto" step 2 recommended link will be applied effectively.
    As far as I know - we have a standard system and I just ran again ONCE a full system virus etc check - all clean.
    Also your "Mr Fixit" was performed several times, but nothing changes.
    Because it enters the update process, and then always closes with this specific message (which as I said is NOT in your list of error messages), which SHOULD tell your software writers where is the problem.
    This is what is happening in the process of updating before it fails:
    Keep your computer up-to-date
    Check to see if you need updates for Windows, your programs, your hardware or your devices.

    Get updates of high priority (recommended)  

    Select among the priority and optional updates for Windows and other programs
