On Windows 7 pro x64 with SP1, I've been getting this message when rebooting after installing KB2685811 ("Update for Kernel-Mode Driver Framework version 1.11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems"): "Failure configuring Windows update". All updates from last Tuesday (13/Nov/2012) were installed correctly, only this one fails.
I tried...
Rebooting, F8 and then using repair. It detected no errors.
Installing the patch with the antivirus (Avira free) disabled, which changed nothing.
Downloading the update manually and installing it. Made no difference.
Installing KB947821, found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20858
I then found a file I had downloaded yesterday (can't remember where from) called windowsupdate.diagcab
I ran it and it detected 2 errors:
[a] Potential Windows update database error detected (0x80070002)
[b] Problem with Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
I eventually solved [a] and [b] with MicrosoftFixit50202.msi, but not the original problem. I still get the "Failure configuring Windows update" message after rebooting, once the installation reaches 61%.
There were a couple of other things I did, but I can't remember exactly what they were...
Any help is appreciated.

I had the same problem and found a solution.
For this update, TEMP file location should be set to default C:.
I changed Temp file location from RAM disk to C:\ for this update and it worked. Thereafter I changed the Temp file location back to RAM disk.
Thanks for this thread.
billmo -- what CD booted utility did you use to find the virus (Trojan) in wdf01000.sys? I have pulled the HDD from my HP W7 laptop, connected it to my XP tower, and run both Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware against the drive. SAS did remove a trojan in a restore file, but when the drive was reconnected to the laptop, KB2685811 still fails to install. Please update us with your results after you replace the wdf01000.sys file. BTW, where did you get a clean copy of the file?

I used AVG rescue disc that you can download from AVG site. It runs on Linux and you can therefore scan with AVG without booting the PC. You then use the file manager utility to rename the file and to copy across the new copy that you need to have ready on a usb card. I got a copy of wdf01000.sys from another PC.
Hope this makes sense

Hi,
did you try to rename/delete the wdf01000.mof file? I think this is how I fix my problem with this update. Details are on page 4 of this thread.
Thanks for this thread.

Tried on a clean win7 machine, install Radeon Ramdisk, unfortunately it does not reproduce the problem. KB2685811 installs just fine.
If anybody out there *recently* fixed the problem with Ramdisk installed, could you please send me your cbs.log file? By "recent" I mean the first line of cbs.log is earlier than the last failed try of installing KB2685811.
