A few days ago i noticed an update for Windows 7 Service Pack 1. I tried to install it today, it worked fine right up to the moment it asks to reboot the computer. Then after rebooting it starts up as normal update procedure however as it gets to 99% on Configuring Service Pack, it fails and I am left stuck at "Failure Configuring Service Pack, reverting changes. Please do not turn off your computer" for over 10 minutes then shuts down. Then on Bootup i notice nothing has changed and the same thing repeats. Please Help

Ok guys after weeks of not replying back after i forgot bout this question, i have managed to get it working, but that was a few months after my laptop broke in which i had to reset to factory settings, which reset all the system updates done to the laptop, then when i tried installing IE 9 and Windows 7 service pack 1 they both succeeded without issues. Guess the whole problem the entire time was a faulty update

    So - what happens if you don't have a second PC to download this tool? I am also experiencing the crash at about 15% - I get a "fatal error" code of C0000034 (I think that's the code anyway) every time the SP1 tries to install. I can't do a system restore since I'm on an admin account, but not THE admin account. I just have admin privileges on the PC. I was seeing Memory errors when I tried to run the repair tool as well - so - I can't repair, system restore, or get SP1 to stop crashing...any ideas?

    My pc is having the same thing going on.  

    It has been going on repeating itself for the last 40 minutes.  I am afraid to kill this.  What should I do?

    Hi TonyBest100,

    I can try and help you with this. Can you upload the following files to SkyDrive and share the URL:

    %windir%\Logs\CBS\*

    %windir%\inf\setupapi.dev.log

    %windir%\system32\winevt\logs\system.evtx

    %windir%\WindowsUpdate.log

    Once you do that , we will get the files and will inspect them to see what is happening.

    Thanks,

    Amit [MSFT]
