Hi, I have a Windows 7 x64 machine that is permanently stuck trying to install the same update. I have followed various posts off of MS websites to rename SoftareDistribution etc. but none have helped. HAve tried 1. Boot intoClean Boot Mode and try updating again. 2. Run the Microsoft Fixit and see how it works. How do I reset Windows Update components? 3. Try System Update Readiness tool by referring toWhat is the System Update Readiness Tool?. 4. Run System File Checker tool and see how it works. The WindowsUpdateClient log posts the error 0x80070bc9 CBS log has the following: 2012-09-22 15:09:44, Info CBS Session: 30251211_3937697323 initialized by client WindowsUpdateAgent. 2012-09-22 15:10:49, Info CBS Session: 30251212_293967167 initialized by client WindowsUpdateAgent. 2012-09-22 15:10:49, Info CBS Appl: detect Parent, Package: WUClient-SelfUpdate-ActiveX~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~7.6.7600.256, Parent: Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.6000.16386, Disposition = Detect, VersionComp: EQ, ServiceComp: GE, BuildComp: GE, DistributionComp: GE, RevisionComp: GE, Exist: present 2012-09-22 15:10:49, Info CBS Appl: detectParent: package: WUClient-SelfUpdate-ActiveX~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~7.6.7600.256, parent found: Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385, state: Superseded 2012-09-22 15:10:49, Info CBS Appl: detectParent: package: WUClient-SelfUpdate-ActiveX~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~7.6.7600.256, parent found: Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514, state: Installed 2012-09-22 15:10:49, Info CBS Appl: detect Parent, Package: WUClient-SelfUpdate-ActiveX~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~7.6.7600.256, disposition state from detectParent: Installed 2012-09-22 15:10:49, Info CBS Appl: Evaluating package applicability for package WUClient-SelfUpdate-ActiveX~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~7.6.7600.256, applicable state: Installed 2012-09-22 15:10:49, Info CSI 0000000e@2012/9/22:14:10:49.832 CSI Transaction @0x143fa50 initialized for deployment engine {d16d444c-56d8-11d5-882d-0080c847b195} with flags 00000002 and client id [25]"TI5.30251212_293967167:1/" 2012-09-22 15:10:49, Info CSI 0000000f Pending transaction content must be resolved, cannot begin another transaction yet 2012-09-22 15:10:49, Info CBS Failed to get transaction analysis because of pending operations.

A. Look into WindowsUpdate.log for failing B. If the problem is caused by .NET, use Aaron Stebner removal tool and reinstall .NET C. Return to previous restore point Regards Milos

Thanks Already tried to restore to a preious point but it fails. Will try .Net to see if that is the issue. Simon

Hi, Try setting the TrustedInstaller service Start value from Manual to Automatic, so that when the system is started, the service is started and drains the queue. The display name of this service in services.msc is "Windows Modules Installer.

Thanks Alex I had already tried the steps in the post you linked. In the end I have had to reinstall Windows 7 over the top (keeping all settings) and this has fixed the issue with Windows Updates. It is frustrating that I could not find a solution as I do not like glossing over the issues without first finding a solution but unfortunately it was not my pc and time was against me. Thanks for all the replies. Simon
