Administrators AWS Posted April 1, 2013 Administrators Posted April 1, 2013 Summary: I cannot install Windows 7 updates. Is the problem a missing “COMPONENTS” subkey in my registry (see below)? Help!!! I am running a licensed verified Windows 7 Professional OS on a Thinkpad w520. Avast is my security program. I have several problems updating 1. Windows 7 updating program tells me there are updates, shows a list, then runs but fails to install updates 2. I am notified regularly by other programs that there are updates and when I select “update” they fail do do anything. These include Java, Avast, and Thinkvantage programs. When I try to update Java I get a message: “The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable” and reports error 1714. I have read the document at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2509997[/color] titled “Unable to install updates in Windows Vista, Windows I 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2” and have worked through Methods. Method 1 did not work Method 2 did not work and after running the checksur and checksurpersist both logs showed: Found 2 errors CBS MUM Corrupt Total count: 2 Unavailable repair files: servicingpackagesMicrosoft-Windows-IE-Hyphenation-Parent-Package-English~31bf3856ad364e35~~~10.2.9200.16437.mum servicingpackagesMicrosoft-Windows-IE-Spelling-Parent-Package-English~31bf3856ad364e35~~~10.2.9200.16437.mum servicingpackagesMicrosoft-Windows-IE-Hyphenation-Parent-Package-English~31bf3856ad364e35~~~10.2.9200.16437.cat servicingpackagesMicrosoft-Windows-IE-Spelling-Parent-Package-English~31bf3856ad364e35~~~10.2.9200.16437.cat These did not seem relevant Method 3 ran the scan and gave the message “Windows resource screen did not find any integrity violations” and the install again failed. Method 4 did ran but did not enable the updates Method 5 says to look for “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINECOMPONENTSCOMPONENTS” in the registry. I do not have a subdirectory “COMPONENTS” under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in my registry. Is my problem that I am missing this COMPONENTS key? Please help View this thread
