Windows 8.1 Feature Pack kb2932046 (part of kb2919355) won't install

Anonymous

Tried downloading 8.1 update via Windows update on 8 March and kb2919355 failed to load citing corrupt or missing file. Went to Microsoft Download center and searched for kb2919355 which brought up several sub files. I was able to successfully download and install all but the kb2932046 . Any idea on how to get it to install? I am on an original Windows 7 32 bit computer which has been upgraded to Windows 8 Pro with Media Center and then to Windows 8.1, all via download. I thus have no DVD, USB etc to do a refresh, which I don't wish to do anyway. I've already tried the Updater Tool Fix and the DISM procedures suggested by Windows Update with no luck. As far as I know, I've not moved any directories. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I took the Windows 8.1 Pro ISO, mounted and ran it.

I wonder if instead of running it you could have used it as a /source: for DISM? I still think we (someone) have to figure out how to use that technique. I think it might have avoided your (re-)activation problems for example.

Glad to see that you have a solution. Thanks for sharing it.

I have an 8.1 ISO, except fully expanded. I can't run setup because it asks me for a Windows 8.1 key and will not accept my 8 key. I've tried various dism options. Nothing happened, but I was never confident that what I ran was correct. If you'd like to make a suggestion as far as what I should run on the command line I'd be happy to try it. The 8.1 files live at H:\Windows81\ (e.g., that's where the setup.exe file is located).
