Hi

I write this in english, to enlarge the potential community.

Windows Update, I get error 0x80070002 when the systems tries to install Windows 11 Version 22H2.

This problem is going on for a long time now.

I tried everything I can found on the internet.

  • setting the time, all good,
  • Deleting the SoftwareDistribution directory,
  • Running scan, and DSIM, all good no errors,
  • Windows update troubleshooter, tells me:

Check for Windows Update issues Detected:

In troubleshooting report it says:

  • check for widows update issues // Resolve Windows Update issue Completed

-Detection details:

Glad it's resolved, albeit it took around 10 attempts :)

You may re-enable the startup items and services. Backup the current set of drivers using DISM, to a folder named c:\drivers_final_2023.

If Device Manager doesn't show any items with the yellow exclamation mark, then no need to install any more drivers.

For the Windows Security issue, please start a new thread and share the link to the new thread here. Will reply to that.

Regards,

    Thanks for the update. We can force Windows to generate a crash dump to see if the dump gives any clues.

    • Download FixList.txt
    • Save Fixlist.txt in the same folder where EnglishFRST64.exe is.
    • Close all program windows.
    • Launch the Farbar Scanner tool and click "Fix".
    • Upload the output log file (FixLog.txt) to your OneDrive.
    • Reboot Windows when prompted.

    Re-run Setup.exe from the ISO.

    If the setup crashes, open C:\CrashDumps and share the dump files found in that folder.

    //I wanted to check if the Windows Defender is switched on, however when I check Window Security, I get an empty window? Does this indicate something//

    Looks like your system is unprotected right now. If the 23H2 installation succeeds, it should fix Defender automatically. Until then, please disconnect the device from the internet.

    Meanwhile, I found a nice workaround at Deskmodder.de: https://www.deskmodder.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=25734

    Please use Google translate to read the contents of that page.

    An user says:

    "Simply deleting appraiserres.dll should also work. At least that worked for me on Thursday with the 22000.65."

    FYI, after setup.exe is executed, appraiserres.dll will be extracted to "C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\appraiserres.dll".

    Just picked up again this morning.

    The good news is that whatever we try, I can still use my laptop, as you see, so the system is running however with old Windows.

    Interesting development happened

    • I downloaded the Fixlist for EnglishFRST.
    • I ran EnglishFirst and execute Fix option, this was a very short action, however there was a fix, the fixlog is uploaded.
    • I re-ran the setup as admin, and very interesting now, it continued after the screen "getting thing ready for you to install", it effectively started the installation of Windows 11, on a blue screen, with a Percentage counting up. Unfortunately it stopped suddenly at 62%, with a small screen "installation failed".
    • The CrashDump Directory in the C:\ is empty, no dump
    • I checked the $WINDOWS.~BT folder in sources directory to rename the appraiserres.dll or move it somewhere else, however during this action, all of a sudden there were changes in the sources directory and all the file disappeared. There are now only some directories, including Panther and Rollback
    • Now there is a Panther and Rollback directory (before the Rollback was not there). I also zipped them together like before and uploaded them. I added today's date with a subnumber"-1" to the file name to keep track of all the versions.
    • Will try to do another install now, knowing that appraiserres.dll is not there anymore.
    • The windows security window still shows an empty screen.

    The uploaded files, Panther_Rollback, Fixlog are here: https://1drv.ms/f/s!At3helIxGZsEknlHW5PQcVhJDUtO?e=2v62av

    I noticed, after reboot and launching the setup again, the files in Windows.-BT reappeared. The installation crashed again, before the installation was started (during window getting things ready to install)

    I also noticed this created now a crashdump (also uploaded, setuphost.exe.12176.dmp) ) so after the EnglishFRST fix, at least the installation started up to 62%, now it crashed before starting installing.
