For days now I have been trying to get Vista SP1 to install. Well into
the installation but before any reboots (after two full progress
meters) disk activity slowly diminishes to nil and then the pesky
8007010B Error and it halts. A snippet containing the offending code
from the WindowsUpdate log is included below.
If indeed 8007010B = directory name invalid or some such then the
culprit should be
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\370a8a4bc 0631584d862be923aa9fef0\
according to the Update log. This folder is present and apparently
uncorrupted, containing over 40MB of SP1 udate files (mostly .cabs).
I've given full access permissions to
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\ and
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\ as well aS all subfolders
and files within both. I've flushed both folders and after another
failed install, restored them. I've even created entirely new folders
with unrestricted access permissions, copied both folders, deleted the
originals and renamed to duplicated and replace both folders. There's
no discernable problen here.
Otherwise my system is 100% ready to accept SP1 having followed
Microsoft's preperations to the letter. All other updates are
installed, all drivers have been updated where possible including an
Authentec fingerprint scanner which is known to be SP1 incompatible
unless updated. Furthermore I have tried every workaround and "fix" I
can find after 3 days of scouring the internet, including:
- running CHKDSK C: /F and SFC /SCANNOW
- running the Windows Vista Memory Diagnostic Tool
- terminated all non-vital processes including anti-virus and firewall
- defragging the system drive.
- cleanup, repair, compact, defrag registry
- Went back and reinstalled Windows Update Agent 3.0
- verified more then enoung free disk space (over 40GB!)
- tried both the full standalone install package (450MB) and the
Windows Update install (45MB) which wasn't being offered at first but
now is.
- no serial cables connected to a UPS.
- all drivers updated, BIOS flashed and all Windows Updates installed
including the two SP1 prerequisite updates.
.... and several more things that don't immediately come to mind, I'm
sure.
I find it strange that although there are numerous reports of this on
the internet, there has not been on definitive, working answer.
Stranger yet, Microsoft is obviously aware of this yet their
recommendations do not resolve the issue.
Here's that part of the WindowsUpdate log:

Why it should be such a royal pain in the ass to install a service
pack is beyond me.
I MUST be missing something - anyone?
