Windows 7 SP1 fails error code 0x80041010
Hi there, I am trying to update Windows 7 on a Dell D630 built from scratch with Windows 7. The sp1 package fails both via windows update and a direct download from the site. I have applied the hotfix for the readiness tool and checked the log files, both of which report "No errors Detected" I also turned of the virus scan monitoring and have checked everything else I can think of but as soon as I click install it returns a failed screen immediately, always with this error. I checked the services for WMI etc and all are running. I restarted them and still nothing. What step am I missing? thanks

You have WMI issues: WBEM_E_INVALID_CLASS = 0x80041010, check this: Can you please try the command winmgmt /verifyrepository from an elevated commad prompt(cmd - run as administrator)? If you get WMI repository is Inconsistent please try the following to reinstall WMI. net stop winmgmt ren %windir%\System32\Wbem\Repository Repository_backup net start winmgmt Open Command Prompt (cmd) with elevated credentials (administrator) Run winmgmt /salvagerepository to attempt to rebuild the repository Register WMI components cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem for /f %%s in ('dir /b *.dll') do regsvr32 /s %%s for /f %%s in ('dir /b *.mof *.mfl') do mofcomp %%s wmiprvse /regserver winmgmt /regserver 7.Reboot machine After that, please test WMI connection with wbemtest as follows. Run %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\WbemTest.exe Click Connect Click Connect If you still hit connectivity error, you may want to try comprehensive rebuild below rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection WBEM 132 %windir%\inf\wbemoc.inf Above command will ask for your Windows 2008 R2 installation disc Hope it helps.

Hi there, I tried the cmd winmgmt /verifyrepository after finally being able to get access to do this! I was attempting it before and getting access denied errors. A colleague of mine helped me sort that part. I am unsure why it would be restricted as I am logged in as the built in administrator account. Regardless, I ran the cmd and get the response : WMI Repository is consistent. but when I try the install again it still fails. any ideas? thanksAntony Vidler, Casewise Servicedesk Administrator

It is only a quote from a similar topic, I never done the steps because my WMI never had issue. Try the other commands, too (But make a backup - system restore point first)."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" I'm going to leave the forum on 31th March 2011 if I don't get a Feedback about the SPAM of 2 MVPs.
