Missing Windows Servicing Packages files & update problems
Tone111:
Got them this morning actually Boggin, so thanks again and good on ya old bean! :artist:
Also uninstalled the WSE 3.0 .NET thing as it's apparently obsolete, and can always be reinstalled if I ever need it (unlikely), so a quick disk cleanup and recheck of the Win7 Upgrade Advisor is now completely clear! :smiley:
Now I'm just going to reboot, turn the AV & firewall off and then give the Home Premium disk a whirl, watch this space (in several hours that is, or probably tomorrow given the hour... ) :wink:
Boggin:
Don't forget to back up your drivers folders from Windows\System32 and then you can drop them back in after the install.
Tone111:
Ah ok, thanks, will do - don't think I've backed them up yet! :thinking:
It came up with an error actually saying it had to be rebooted due to system files having to be reset or some such, so I'm going to have to try again.... :undecided:
Boggin:
I can't understand why you are having problems with the install.
I think it was either last year or the year before when I used one of the HP disks to do a repair install to get back in and it went without a hitch.
If it said it would have to reboot I think it should have its own prompts to continue rather than having to start from scratch but....
Tone111:
No, neither can I, although I'm not overly surprised given the trouble I've had with the machine over the last 18 months (mainly with WU) :angry: but it actually gets worse - that was the second time I'd tried the new Home Premium disk - the first time it said it couldn't create a system folder or something with error 80070005, so I rebooted then I got that one mentioned above, anyway rebooted again and got it going this time, but when I came back to it it had bombed out Again, this time with error 80070017 (see attached)
I was wondering - do you think the original (failed) repair I did with the first Universal disk you sent has done something which is causing this repair disk to fail?? After that attempt I had extra folders on my C: drive ($UPGRADE.~OS, $WINDOWS.~LS, Windows.old) and had lost 2-3 Gb of disk space! Should I delete some/all of these before I give it another go - is there something that attempt has done which could be stopping this disk working, or something on the drive seeing as it got so close to finishing the repair? Just my thoughts, I'm not sure what else to do other than reboot and try again.... :undecided:
