Windows 7 800B0100 update error

454 Views 10 Posts PC Software
I have done a recent fresh install of Windows 7 64bit Home Prem and went through the process of all the usual updates because I have a fairly early copy of Windows 7.
All updates have taken well with no dramas except for Service pack 1 for x64 - based systems (KB976932) it just downloads, attempts to install then fails. Given it a try a couple of times now and always the same result. Which is weird because it has been installed on this computer before with the last install of Win 7.
tried... rebooting?

Yeah a each time. Basically this update has popped up every day after it has failed.
Just set it to ignore that update.
Mine came up with one, i googled the error and it said that the error was that a later version was already installed.
Tried manually installing the update from the windows site?
The service pack is just a collection of earlier updates put into a handy package for anyone that missed them (or to get people that intentionally don't download them to finally update, lol "OOH SERVICE PACK!!!!!!!!! :P)

As Doyl said it is very likely that you already have all the updates that are included in it already or even a newer version of a couple of the files it updates. Does your windows install show up as windows 7 service pack 1 when you look at your computer properties, where your windows experience index rating is (I don't know the name of the screen, lol I just call it my computer properties, since that's how I get to it)
That's what I call it too.
Seems like it has fixed its self somehow, I haven't done anything but it has stopped asking for that update.
Another odd update "issue" I've run into. Technically not a physical error. Basically I've had the same updates ready to be installed for a couple of weeks now but it seems like they never get updated.
It's these 2.

It downloads, I get the "install updates and shut down" icon on the shut down button. When ever I go to shut it down it goes through the normal steps of a major update install and shuts down like normal. The next time I turn on the PC those same updates are there ready to be installed, wash, rinse and repeat. No update error messages no nothing [MOG]
Damn dude you haven't got service pack 1? Download the installer directly from the MS website. Better get that on there

EDIT: here Guyver download.microsoft.com/...
