Win7 updates do not work after dirty shutdown caused by processor overheat

Boggin:
Hope you cleaned the old paste off first ?

Shane:
OK here you go. :-)

First grab the zip file off this page and apply the reg file it in to add the take owner ship to the right click menu in explorer.

Once that is done go to C:\Windows\servicing\ and right click on Packages and click on take ownership. You will now be able to copy the files into that folder.

I have attached the 66 missing files, extract the files out of the attached zip file and put them in the C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\ folder.

Then run my pre-scan again but this time put a check on the box to have it add the cat files back to the database. :wink:

Thank you.. this solved the pre-scan problem but still not the troubles with updates.  I get most of the updates installed after this but then after restart I get message that "updates cannot be configured" and "reverting changes". Then I am in the phase nro 0 again..

For what it's worth. I had problems with the last round of updates (it Actually started with last months). Windows constantly re down loading and installing certain updates over and over again. I did a repair and everything got borked worse and scan/fc didn't show anything. Tried a repair install...no joy. Had to do a full re-install of windows, everything is fine now. I can't say for sure but...updates for windows on my system (windows 7 64 bit), got really screwed up over the last two months. A fresh install followed by updates was the only thing to fix it. Hopefully you don't have to go this route.

I have been seeing a LOT of users all over the net who have reported problems like this with the updates in the last 2 months. From what I can tell some of the updates are to replace other ones, with a fresh install you dont have those outdated updates and so you only get the newest ones. It seems to be the people who have these older updates installed.

But even then, normally a Windows Repair install does the trick because all the updates need to be reinstalled anyways. So I wonder if it is something in the registry or some setting that is borking things up.

Markku, now that the pre-scan shows good have you ran all the repairs in safe mode again since then?
