I re-installed W7/64 over the weekend and initially everything seemed ok, however there’s an issue with the W7 re-install, in that the re-installed W7 will let me do most updates but WON’T let me install W7/SP1 and keeps giving error code 8024200D consistently each time. I’ve tried downloading the Windows Update Readiness tool that MS recommend in this situation, re-booted but no difference. It was suggested to run Microsoft Fix-it, but not only didn’t that do the trick but after a reboot, Windows now can’t seem to even DOWNLOAD the W7 SP1 let alone run it. Getting concerned about this and would welcome any advice – I really DON’T want to have re-install W7 again if I can avoid it. Thanks.
I've now run the MS-recommended sfc /scannow command and a full scan says "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations, and I still can't get the W7 SP1 to install. Joking apart, can I manage without the SP1 update? Any ideas?
I had a very similar problem last week except it was 2 updates that refused to install no matter what I did. I ended up reinstalling again and all the updates installed without problems.
Can you not download the sp1 iso on another pc/laptop? I had the same issue and an SP1 disc fixed it.
I have previously had issues like this on Windows 7 and Windows 8 and generally I found that running the Microsoft Fixit tool found the issue, and then fixed it and after a reboot I was able to install the updates. Just make sure before running it that the time and date are correct, as for some reason that seems to affect it as well.
