windows update repair works only partially
Boggin:
For that error, MS suggests running SURT and if that doesn't fix it, then you would need to do a repair install.

I haven't come across anything that relates to .NET Framework v3.5 for this update error code.
Do you have an URL link where this error relates to v3.5 ?
You won't find that .NET version in Programs and Features as it is part of Windows.
You can find it via Programs and Features/Turn Windows features on or off.
That reset Fix it may very well have done what it is supposed to do but that didn't turn out to be the problem.
Run SURT and see what that has to report, but if it can't, then you are back to either a clean install or a repair install.
That article has refreshed my memory in that the Checksur log is bundled within the CBS folder.

hello...I will go ahead and download and run SURT. I have run sfc /scannow in the past.
as to the .Net 3.5 reference, it turns out that it concerns win 8 not 7. I just read the headline in the search. http://www.askvg.com/fix-0x800f0906-and-0x800f081f-error-messages-while-installing-net-framework-3-5-in-windows-8/
thanx
Boggin:
I wasn't aware 3.5 wasn't default installed in Win 8/8.1 as it appears to be in Win 7.
Thanks for the link - something else I've learned :)
pratomorone:
well, the checksur log had no errors. I guess I am stuck doing the repair install.
any idea how long it might take? any guess would help to me decide when to do it.
thanx, you really have been a great help.
Boggin:
I'm not sure if it could take a couple of hours ?
Have you tried Windows Update since SURT even though it didn't find anything ?
Did you check the update history for any failed updates then right click on them to View Details to see if that gives a different error code ?
Event Viewer may also have something recorded, but to get a recent recorded error, check it after retrying the updates if they are still not installing.
