Windows 7 Updates Fail with error 0x80070057

http://1drv.ms/1mSOkZG

Above are my most recent System and Application logs.

**Re: Event ID 1006:**I was uncertain as to whether to begin again at Step 1 or start with Step 9 in order to Click Yes.  I started with Step 1 but could not proceed through directions.  Then began with Step 9 and clicked Yes.  However, I reached the same result as I had previously when arrived at Step 11 **Customize.**The word Customize was blanked out so could not proceed.

I used Microsoft Fixit 50688.  The result:  "The Microsoft Fixit has been  processed."

Please try this again. If it fails please make a precise note of what happens and the details of any error message. Download and run the System Update Readiness Tool -64 bit version

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20858

The System Update Readiness Tool creates a log file that captures any issues that the tool found or fixed. The log file is located at the following location:

•%SYSTEMROOT%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log

•%SYSTEMROOT%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log

The system root is normally C.

Please upload a copy of these logs to your OneDrive as shared files and post a link here.

If the System Update Readiness Tool fails to install please check to see whether either of the two logs are there and if they are upload them to your OneDrive.

You may need to change your settings in Windows to be able to see the file. To show hidden files type Folder Options in the search box above the Start button and select View, Advanced Settings and verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is checked and "Hide protected operating system files" is unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make certain that the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked.

System Update Readiness Tool:  I downloaded the Tool and tried to install.  Received message that installation was complete for installation of Hotfix for Windows (KB9478211) (update 1 of 1).  When I go to my downloads to try to run, it tries to go through the installation process again.  This is what had happened previously, and I had thought it had not been installed, despite the message to the contrary, and I found myself in a revolving process of continuous installation.  I receive no error messages.

Logs: Could not find the log file.  Went to Command Prompt and typed both options and received message that file name was incorrect.  Went to C drive to see if I could find the logs but I could not.

**Settings:**I did look at my settings.  The "Show hidden files and folders" box is checked.  I did uncheck "Hide protected operating system files." (Note:  I received a warning that "deleting or editing could make computer inoperable."  Should I go back and check it since I cannot seem to run the System Update Readiness Tool??) I did uncheck the box before "Hide extensions for known file types.

Thank you!

The tool runs automatically when installed:

Do not search for the log files. Open Windows Explorer and expand Computer>C>Logs>CBS.

Sorry it took so long.  Took me a bit of time to realize I had to go through Windows to get to the Logs, but here they are.

Thank you!
