    I am unable to install the update Windows6.1-KB974571-x86. It gives me this error code every time. I have purged the update cache. Also it tells me that I have never installed any updates which I have. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I was able to install the optional updates with no error but still get the error on KB974571.

    How did you activate your Win7?

    I'm not sure if this could cause that update to fail.

    Well a system restore took care of the problem.
