numpteyman :
They are all microsoft .net updates.
I have tried the microsoftfixit tool and also tried repairing the .net file and then re downloading the updates after. But annoyingly they pop back up every time.
Anyone have a clue as to how I resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Are they the same updates every time? Also, do they report as failed or success?
If they are the same updates, and they repeatedly report as failed, this is usually because you have a corrupted system file.
Run CMD.EXE as an administrator, and run this command: SFC /SCANNOW
It will take a while, and require a restart when completed. If the updates don't install after that, you will probably have to reinstall the operating system from your original discs (if you choose "repair" during the reinstall, it may fix the problem).
This is caused from one of two things:
1) The system being shut down unexpectedly (abnormal shutdown)
2) The hard drive is failing
I have noticed several hard drives die a slow death - creating intermittent problems before reporting something that identifies defective hardware.
