Installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1

Google yet? have to get beyoond the yes/no to speciifics.

some AV software is to blame

Do you use a VM also?

Do you have at least 9GB of free space to work with? even more would be better.

You have OS 10.7 but not Bootcamp 4?

Friend of mine on OEM non Mac has similar long standing SP1 problem; as a possible/last solution,

I see from search for W 7 SP1 error 800B0100 in Windows forums:
rename the \Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder to \Windows\SoftwareDistribution.old.

I learned (by doing it) that you can rename outside of safe mode in same login session if you disable Windows Update completely via control panel. Then you could turn W. Update back on & try again.

You will see more on this from Microsoft itself by search for: rename \Windows\SoftwareDistribution

You'll also have to disable Services: "Windows Update" and "Background Intelligent Transfer" in "Computer Management" ( select Manage from right click on desktop Computer icon) before the rename + reset them to auto as before when you are ready to turn Windows Update back on. Then check for updates.

Hello

I am unable to install Service pack 1 for Windows 7 home premium (OEM edition) and a couple of other updates, in the past the macbook has downloaded and installed windows updates fine, In this instance it downloads but I get a error message error 800B0100. I have tried everything down the windows path but have got nowhere, a search on the web suggests that while some people install this update on a Bootcamp partition others cannot.

Can anyone help.

Thanks

Stephen
